I was burrowing for love in a desert, digging all night, my claws got smooth on the sand, a long uninterrupted line of keening - I made a knife out of sand, I bid you come on over, come dig for the Danube, the great reset, the cactus milk, come show me your blood from … Continue reading 25/12/2020

Reading Keith Douglas with Dana
Join Dana on a snuggly October evening as she discovers Keith Douglas by reading aloud some of his work. She only reads and makes absolutely no unnecessary commentary, honest. She also tries to pronounce vergissmeinnicht. Come be a fly on the wall. Or, maybe not a fly, there's a cat sleeping on the bed. https://soundcloud.com/dana-alice-niamh/reading-keith-douglas-with-dana

Dream Sequence – October 2020
1 In my master’s house, in the upstairs study, I am cleaning when I find playing cards. The study is on the top floor of the wizard’s tower, and is the only room opposite an airing cupboard.

Autumn Equinox 2020
Chill floats across the window threshold, my thoughts are small circles tearing up the floorboards. I left my happiness down here somewhere, I just know it, if I just keep looking, keep looking, I'm going to breathe unlike a stunned bird on its back, my alveoli expanding like wings. What the fuck am I talking … Continue reading Autumn Equinox 2020
