ANGELS WILL COME

Voice was so soft
behind me -
the only friend
wanted to say I
          or that, and beside
driving
unbearable to me

all life splendour
on white
          smoke frozen
forever in
and just as cold.

Last Call

LAST CALL

Have been kicking
          for a while, the

          ambient
jazz influence
accessible with
