She kissed me.

I soiled myself.

Cleanliness Is Next To Godliness

It was in December. While the nights were long. Frozen stuff crusted on the lip of the windowsill. The boy peered in, his hand melting the shape of five tiny fingers onto the glass. He watched a man and a woman watching TV. They sat with their arms around each other, and even though they were looking right in his direction, they couldn’t see him because of the imbalance of the light inside and the darkness outside. The boy tried to interpret what he could about the television programme from the expressions of delight or concentration or laughter that played on their faces, transformed from one to the next by the changing flicker of

Our Issues

Your heart grew up in a black wooden box and thought it fabulous, its world of right angles, wood grain, and eternal night. It hated me when I bored the hole that let the sun singe its eyes, cook its skin, when rain collected the dirt on its skin in a puddle beneath its feet and said: "look how dirty you are, foul thing." It hated and hated and still hates, always crawling under any box it finds. I kicked it out of its hiding place. It ran out howling, hating and being ha

clay

cowardice runs deep, like a rich vein of red through the bottom of a Colorado river. so I gathered that clay, scooped it up in my hands and packed it, carefully, over my face until it covered every inch; and my lidded eyes were merely dents in the thick tan façade. this was cleaner than the traditional, Oedipal method of blinding oneself. alone, the clay was not enough. I stayed inside the house, too, under cover of a sturdy blue roof that cordoned the horizon – because out here there is too much sky to hide from. and I ignored the phantoms still flitting in my ears, because they spoke of the kind of roses

Looking Up

Every person that I pass on the street either looks at me and smiles, or looks down at the passing cracks and scuffed boots that refuse to look back. Not one ever looks up. As a human I feel restrained in this two-way world, and as a stranger I feel helpless. Did you see the man with the tattered work gloves? How he hid his fingers in his sweat-stained blue jeans and held a staring contest with his steel toes? I wish he knew that I walked by, that if he was to pass by me a second time, a ‘that man looks more tired than the last time I saw him’ thought could run through his mind. He can’t even imagine where he’s going beca

Christian: Not a Label

Yes, I am a Christian. That doesn't mean I'll be showing up on your front porch Waving a Bible in your face screaming "Have you heard? Heard the Good News?" Yes, I am a Christian. That doesn't mean I'll condemn you to hell for drinking that glass of wine, Telling you to treat your body like a temple and keep it pure. Jesus Christ drank wine, didn't he? Yes, I am a Christian. That doesn't mean I'll be picketing your home, your work, your friends Just because your beliefs don't agree with mine. That's a little childish, right? Yes, I am a Christian. That doesn't mean that I devote my Sundays to God, turn off the phone, TV and ligh

PROSE What Spies Do

My dad is a rock. He is solid, he is powerful. He can still pick me up and toss me over his shoulder. He is never seen to cry, he can never be swayed or damaged by opinion. He is a real estate agent, and he pushes those deals and sways those clients with confidence and experience. He flexes his arms at the dinner table when I ask him and points exactly which way it is to the beach or the gun show. He is a tree, a mountain, a thick and formidable presence in any room, in any place, against any person. “He’s late,” my mom said, and pursed her lips through the ste

Closer

too close to see, you are too close to me, an eclipsing gaze, all arms across us, i wouldn't leave, if i could go but you know this - you knew of love once you want to know again, you try to kiss me, as if drawing love out, and breathing love in, die again and again, you'd rather, than death you've almost known, too close for comfort

Not For Me, For You

not for me to feel - nothing as far as i can see, nothing close to me, my heart is deeper under, the black wells of forget, tears are the only stars i see, why do stars burn to live dreams are mute walls; sky is lost to a vapor moon - i drift, not forever is a veil i will wear to cover me from the absence of myself; i will hide behind the anonymity of trees, for you to feel left behind

She Dances With Fire

She dances with fire, a dragon in tow. Twirling with flames; graceful and slow She dances tonight, in a city of ash. Her feet leaving footprints, where the sand will splash. Quietly mourning, as time goes by; Where once she beheld a home in her eyes... Yet naught but the barest of bones remain, And so she dances, to soothe the pain.

Um, this is an entry for the six-word humour contest of mr *Iscariot-Priest and chums. I haven't entered a competition on dA before, so I thought what the hell.

Humour (and brevity, as a matter of fact) not being my usual bag, I'm afraid I have plumped (or plumbed, heh heh) for toilet humour. I know, I know, it's not big and it's not clever, but I am British...

COMMENTS EDIT: I won! Woohooo!
