A bridge is always a metaphor
For transformation
For moving on
To something new
For transformation
For moving on
To something new

I travel, when I can. Write, when inspired. Photograph, where there's beauty. Make films, for a living.
Oh, and I play a decent didjiridu.
Marvelling at property
On a beautiful night
Sunlight still waning
I look across the bay
To the skyline beyond
Sunlight still waning
I look across the bay
To the skyline beyond
Marvelling
At the achievements
Of time and millions of men
Waiting
She peered out
From the darkness
With the sharpness
Of a scalpel
From the darkness
With the sharpness
Of a scalpel
Dissecting
The possibilities
Of his late arrival
The Fabulous Commodore Ballroom
Sprung floors
And musical tours
And musical tours
Jazz & blues
And swing and twang
I’ll always remember
When kd sang

She believed.
He lied.
Normally, that would have ended it.
The saddest eye I have ever known
There is a sadness in her eye
Resolute
Time worn
With a history
The kind that lingers an entire lifetime
The kind that drags others down with it
Resolute
Time worn
With a history
The kind that lingers an entire lifetime
The kind that drags others down with it
Still, I can’t walk by
I can’t walk away
Tying thoughts in Gordian Knots
My mind
Tries to know itself
Tying thoughts in Gordian Knots
Of increasing perplexity
Tries to know itself
Tying thoughts in Gordian Knots
Of increasing perplexity
Burnished Bronze
Bronze
Cut, shaped, welded, etched
Burnished by popular demands
Until it appears as steel
Under blue skies and bright sun
Cut, shaped, welded, etched
Burnished by popular demands
Until it appears as steel
Under blue skies and bright sun
What is there in a laugh?
What is there in a laugh that time avoids to know?
Look at all the people out there playing
Running from the past
“Can I make my bus,” he cries, “or will I see the show?”
We surround ourselves with time
Building with the laughter a doorway to the mind
