FLUENT IN SILENCE
Silence has many forms.
Sometimes it protects.
Sometimes it connects.
Sometimes it carries what we are not ready to say.
And sometimes -it becomes the very thing that harms us.
This collection explores silence not as absence but as language.
A language learned, inherited, shared and,at times reclaimed.
These poems are not just about what is unsaid, but about what silence holds-love,fear, memory, power and choice.

"But I *want* the #fae to steal me away!"
Oh, my love. If you caught their attention? You'd be like #blossom in the headlights of a speeding car.

As the crackdown on anyone who seemed #different intensified, Professor Xavier's students were forced to find new ways to identify where they could safely meet.
It's not a gherkin. Built like an apple corer to extract the City's dark heart, all that selfish greed, yet leave #London's thousand thousand loves, tales and nations, flowing down the Thames.
Never reached the heart, bounced off an impenetrable shield of privilege. So they put offices in, and called it a #gherkin
"Oh, you again, Daddy mentioned you! Well, looks like you don't have a choice this time - the unimaginable is coming right this way!! HOW FAST CAN YOU RUN?"

As I quickly glanced left, for a moment I thought the lit buildings were huge pillars holding the night #sky above me – a highway to… somewhere.
Then I realised that Night's Bridge is by Hyde Park and I was approaching Loughborough Junction, so the moment passed.

Unfortunately, after spending *ages* trying to get the perfect #sunset angle, the photographer was eaten by ravenous wild peafowl

Occasionally I wonder if I could popularise a new form of #divination based on the shuffling of #desktop images - a backgroundomancer.
Looks like I have a portentous (and nature-filled?) weekend coming up!

Will loved spending his evenings down by the #docks with her, the views were lovely, watching the planes land was cool, they could talk for hours about anything and nothing. So hard to find that nowadays.
She was a #ghost - died 20 years ago. But he didn't care.
