The burning boil of the morning horizon,
tinged orange with an ethereal glow.
Great strokes of gold slash across
an endless mirage of blue.
Tiny dots of mammals frolic through the skies,
The wind a shapeless master.
Pushing up, then down,
forwards, backwards.
Yet still the great orb rises.
Stringless and with an angelic grace
Our celestial mistress illuminates the majesty.
She watches over us, the faceless fire
seeing everything with her incandescent glare.
But you mustn’t look back,
no you must not,
not at the great crimson nucleus.
Lest your eyes burn with her.

I'm Listening To Things Of Stone And Wood
Introduction Comprising of Greg Arnold (vocals and guitar), Michael Allen (bass), Tony Floyd (drums) and Justin Brady (violin, harmonica and guitar), Things of Stone and Wood released their first album, The Yearning, in 1993. The album was greeted enthusiastically by the public and critics alike, in no small part due to Arnold's strong songwriting. "Happy Birthday Helen," taken from this album, became the first of the band's Australian hits.

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
