A day in shades of grey.
A cup of tea that cools about as soon as it’s poured.
A walk through the neighbourhood, hands stuffed in unwarm pockets.
Moisture settling in damp waves on nose.
This day, the kittehs stay indoors.

The Cat’s Underbelly.
Quit talking, watch Lou lie there smoking,
Singeing a sleeping feline furcoat. Observe
The whimpering whippet whisper wheezing words
Into the prominent man’s prominent ears.

The Sound of Mewsic.
This here is the cover for Brainwave magazine, the September issue!
Inside, there’s a highly wacksome illustrated article (linking Pythagoras, pigeon-poo covered telescopes, and atmospheric buzz) called The Music of the Spheres that I wrote and you can read.

Back in Black.
A gunshot in the recesses of a dream. A door slamming. The gentle, relentless spray of water from an endless shower. Screaming eyes. Contemplative silence, echoes of disbelief (or relief?). Racing footsteps. Heartbeats before the end. Hush, silent, really? Listen to it.

Fish Kitty and Friends.
She nosed through the backyard, walking daintily on the surface – paw following paw without so much as a backward glance. Watching shapes forms thoughts appear and vanish vaguely in the murky depths. To reach out and catch one of them would be too much of a task, especially when it meant cutting through surface tension and wetting one’s limb in dark coffee. Tantalising they were, though – and she stared eagerly into the distance, wondering if the clutch of fresh buildings across the horizon meant more fish for a hungry kitty – or simply more stones and streetcars? I’ll go ask Alice, I think she’ll know.
