My shifting gaze sends staccato images of Cubist paintings looking for a home. Your poisoned laughter greets me. Poison of my balance you taint each twist and turn. You laugh as you scrub my eyelids with your tune and cause my body to dance to your sadistic beat. Remove me from your playlist and if … Continue reading Vertigo
Hiatus Art – Green Street Cafe
Green Street Cafe - Dee Grant 1997 Many years ago in the 90's I met at the Green Steet Cafe with 4 artists. We were starting our journey.

Got the Blues
Gobbling up a night time splendour whizzing past your horn rimmed shoes. Upsidedown in sweet surrender downing cords of baby blues. Who am I to watch you strumming on the bootstraps of your dreams. Never cold and never coming yet you sprout some crackled themes. Moistened bootstraps from the outset strum along I’ve got the blues. All … Continue reading Got the Blues
