Mission Impossible: Fallout. A movie review.
Negligible spoilers! I’d heard good things about Cruise’s latest impossible mission and decided to give it a go.

Return to Form. A poem.

An Elegy. A poem.
It’s almost surreal when your back’s against the wall, your toes upon the razor’s edge, one slip and then you fall. It’s the strangest feeling when all the good you’ve done is dismissed as mere circumstance, and everything undone. It’s … Continue reading An Elegy. A poem.
Sea of Love. A poem.
