Stars on our pillow

Two twinkling stars on my sleeping mat
tell a tale of where I went last night
Youby the tent wondering where I was at
I with eyes dazzled by night

She was forlorn beneath face-painted glee
clutching a book on Nick Drake
You were asleep by a quarter to three
I was elsewhere, and awake

This morning I’ve wriggled back in by your side
praying that you would not stir
and when you ask me what I saw last night
I need never mention her

Lounge Stories song

A sketchy recording of sketchy proceedings. The dad of 6-foot triplets was the gentleman with the pencil through his nose. Forgot to squeeze in the dead squirrel puppeteer and Henry’s demons.

Wow! You look awesome…


Written with words inscribed by the public at Lounge on the Farm on Sunday.

Wow! You look awesome. You feel amazing.

Everything pleases you; even when there’s nothing here you keep walking in search of the next moment. And the next.

That’s ecstasy for you – every stranger a man of wax, the muddy straw a sea of gold.

Lounging

Wellies, exposed bellies, pop-up delis

frozen lollies

small children pulled around in trollies

absence of brollies

sudden follies

stag-dos, hen-dos, unkempt hair-dos

litter pickers cleaning portaloos

wristbands and parking passes

sideways glances

taking chances

free whisky shot

dancing for hours on the spot

late night movies, freshly blended smoothies

sheer elation

end of uni celebration

artificial stimulation

partial loss of circulation

intoxication.

Morning-after medication.
