about

Poetry (by me) with some synth sketches from Owen J spliced and diced (by me) into something new.

lyrics

It’s unravelling
like suitcased cash
cascade in slo-mo
dollar sky-dive
tragi-comic heist
gone wrong.

It’s a pile of sawdust
Left wood-wormed
from antique chair.

It’s sugared mortar
unbricking
brick by brick.
It’s obsessive disorder
creaking at the seams
split side of laughter
dust stuck to steak
picked from the floor.

It’s home made sponge cake
lopsided icing
wet unset.

It’s today’s to do list
undone:

I’m in the pub.

It’s not looking
at the others.
It’s not caring
what they think.
It’s the solution
to your problems.

Put the benchmark
on the bonfire,
no one’s looking
simply

chill.

about

Helên Thomas UK

Reformed poet. Woman one from wonky synth duo Tingle In The Netherlands.
You will find dark, difficult, experimental music here and by way of a total contrast, some up tempo poetry for children and, if I can find it all, an ad hoc archive of randomness for grown ups and idiots.
Make of this what you will. Note to parents: not all of the adult poems are suitable for children. Please supervise.
