As the Fire Crawls


          Edward Anderson is a wooden match struck in a hay strewn boxcar. Sputtering flame lights the faces of the men rocking against the walls, putting colour in their eyes, reflecting the road dust in their hair, drawing out their voices - their stories. As the fire crawls down the square stem of the match, close to the fingers that hold it, warming the tips, lighting the palm, we feel something real, and we also know that the dying wooden match is still capable of burning the place down.

A Woman Like You




He's dead
And you are alive
Some exchange that's been had
My partner, my soldier behind
Take away for a woman like you
And now it seems that i'm turning in screwed
We're jumping trains

Like Flushed Prey



        The lights of the little highway town ahead spread with their approach and then scattered like flushed prey as they entered it's limits. Under the filling-station sheds swirling insects clouded the naked bulbs. The stores were closed, the depot dark.
