Oxwich Bay

I used to have a diffcult time locating fine beaches in Britain. However, when I saw Oxwich Bay, I was fascinated with its simplicity. Oxwich Bay is situated on the Grower Peninsula in South Wales, and is undoubtly the most beautiful beach in Britain. The beach has a refined quality. Aside...

flat

my sleep pattern is so fucked up by my apartment. by the heavy door that slams. the gin in coffee mugs. and the girl talking about the blow job she gave in the back of taxi. i don't really mind as long as there is a period when everyone is gone. lizzie sings in the shower. if there's...

flying buttresses and bombers

dickens used to walk to Canterbury in a fortnight. i will do the same if i figure out how and when. Canterbury is full of the testaments of survival. the roman fortness none of the businesses could figure out how to knock down and build over. a Norman castle with eroding walls and spiral...

london calling

london was, in a word, lovely. our eyes were blinded and our tongues slowed by the english words, yet the pain was comfortable. fears were replaced with faith. no longer ashamed of our language, we were warmly accepted into londons welcoming embrace. we took a ferry across the english...

Around the world in 180 days

Due to staying in Canada and missing my flight back to Sydney, I suddenly found myself without any travel plans. Flights between Canada and Australia are bloody expensive round trip, but one way are even more so. Another consideration was that I needed to return to England at some point before...

commonwealth

i set my alarm for six thirty. and i get up because my clothes are waiting. my shoes have their tongues hanging out. i run in the park where there are no angry coughing buses. just a commuter on a bike, statues, both stoic. it's so dark it could really could be Taiwan or Paris. soon the sun...

buildings rise overnight

Vietnam war in my stomach. for two days. the windows were all painted shut but we finally heaved them open. the road and a child playing in the alley dulled the constant slam of doors and cupboards. i need to climb up. catch a bus. it's hard not to panic when you've been here three weeks...

the baby and the bird

the sky crouched low and clouds breathed just behind my ear. liz and i took the train and bus. we missed our stop and the bus driver, fumbling with a cigarette and sandwich packaging, kicked us off in hampstead heath. turns out keats wrote ode to a nightingale against a tree that is still...
