Soura

I received a package from the Middle East the other day with an 8 page feature in Dubai's photography Magazine, Soura

‘From a penetrating look into the souls of animals to a macabre vision of regular people, from whimsical fairytale-like narratives, to absurd and quirky images of musicians, this month Soura attempts to grasp at the infinitely long and wide hems of portrait photography.'

We sneak out of a party at midnight and collect the dog for a run around the block. 

At the little dark fenced in playground, we let her off the leash and sit on the sea saw. 

You fling over the hip flask while you tell me secrets as we bounce the 20 cms off the ground 

and the stars 

never looked so close.

We lie sideways on our bed and you look like we’re on the beach with your freckles and gritty hair. 

I feel young when I tell you this and you turn your hand into a crab that scatters up the sand sheets between us.

endings always smell burnt

I’ve been with many a show

pony who could always pull

a trick, it took but a flick

of the wrist for hearts

to splinter

and arteries to twist.

Chickenbones

and well lodged stones

kept my insides company

and though the world was

sometimes a hush

sometimes a scream,

my ears could never quite adjust,

spinning this way and that.

I didn’t even dare to dream

of a coloured wall home,

you and all the epic melodies you bring.

And whilst it is all wonderful and all

that the stupendous greatness

blows my mind

it really is a cool bullet waiting.

Disturbingly smiling

Resting at my temple.

With dead certainty.

If I ever lost you

That’d really pull the trigger
