The Cyclotronic Till Onlyness turned inside out, Poking at it with a sharp stick it is. It has no smell It is going nowhere. It is here always Like a best friend, or a cancer. Like the Borld Wank the eternal enemy I know its face intimately We are best mates. Buddies for life armstrong [...]

Facing the wrong way. ` I was living on the front pages, when you wanted me to be the centrefold. ` `Astrid~ `
Ocean Velvet ` Into the ocean, a thousand diamonds strewn. A heart of velvet, tempered by the moon. ` Astrid~ “ `
