In to my bed I now shall go,
Though work tomorrow makes me frown,
Around my bed; traps placed just so,
Lest I be eaten by a clown.

Our Lady of the Ashes

She came; an anointed force of decimation,
Clothed in the words of dead stars,
Reaching out for shelter.
Her hand, offered as an apple,
A jealous step-heart.
Burnt basilicas in her wake,
“These ruins”, she spoke,
“Build for me a beacon upon the burnt earth.”
“No good deed goes unpunished.”

This is the first thing I have written, and completed, and not given up on since 2006. I don’t know why now, a few things just slotted together and it was written. I will decide whether I like it tomorrow. It may disappear.
This attempt at a first draft of poetry is in no way about crazy American clown people. This is a disclaimer that needed to be added to discourage unwarranted and undeserved paranoia.
This blog has no defined purpose other than to exist as a, mostly ignored, corner of the internet where things that I do can conjeal into a sticky mess and fester. I am twenty-eleven years old, single, I live in Nottingham, UK, I sit at a desk prodding data all day and in the evenings I study Art History, usually without any trousers on.
