Steel kisses
trace the lines
of pulsing veins;
soft, firm, incisive,
part this tired canvas;
trails of crimson bloom,
ebb, and flow
in the wake of their
sharp cold love.

    REFLECTION

    Trace the lines
    The hemlines of eyes
    Steal the steel flower
    A birth hour for two
    Confess the caress
    Hasten the shiver - the taste of egress
    Push the quiet agenda
    Your propaganda on her lips
    Your solitude in her fountain
    Your humility at her feet
    Your world at her grace
    And watch her not bat an eye - not for you
    The satin brazen child
    Vulgar and defiant
    Black carved-out eyes
    Staring down life
    Seducing from their caves
    The tears of time

    So despicable
    So cold
    So unnecessary

    So much like you

    So fragile

    So irresistibly true.

occupy LSX - day 7 - shift in faith

Today: - the catherdal issued this statement which basically can be summed up by the following excerpt from the Dean's open letter to OccupyLSX: " With a heavy heart I have to tell you that St Paul’s Cathedral has to be closed today until further notice, because of the legal requirements placed upon us by fire, health and safety issues." - a statement was issued by OccupyLSX in return, basically stating that the camp feels it has met the requirements placed by the London Fire Brigade, and Health & Safety officials. The conclusion of an emergency meeting held this afternoon was a consensus that the camp will stay in place for now, and continue to pursue a positive dialogue with the church, in terms of finding out what exactly are the issues to health & safety, given the above all-clear. I took a BBC reporter to task for  In other news, tomorrow there will be celebrations of the camp's first week anniversary; there will be a public assembly at 1pm; and th...

occupy LSX - day 4 - photos - signs

Only ended up being able to spend a v brief time at occupy lsx this evening.  While there, though, I was struck by the number of visitors it seems to be receiving.  Tourists streamed through, taking photos, marvelling at the efficiency of something that apparently is just 'a bunch of benefit scroungers'... Hmmmm.  Well, if that's the level of organisation, cooperation and true democracy that results from benefit scrounger, maybe we need a few more in power... oh wait, maybe that's what the expenses scandal was all about... A man asked another to film him beneath the 'Tahrir Square' sign, as he spoke in Arabic about what was happening around him.  A group of German high school students were led through, and an American couple were shown around, commenting on how great it was that the camp got the backing of the church. As usual (is it already 'usual'? I guess it is), walking round, I encountered a number of meetings, talks and people chatting - about th...
