The RutDistance dissolves
into dissonance
in grey-dawn
daylight,

A plaintive
picture painted
with dust
and the rains
which run rivers
of rust
through nowhere-roads

Ad Nauseum:

Static-sick
and stuck
in a circle-loop rut
like hemp
caught tight
around collars

Strung up
on the Tyburn Tree
and left
with the crows

Of revenance.

Serpentarius is an old name for the constellations Serpens and Ophiuchus. It literally translates to 'the serpent-holder' and relates to old Greek mythology, which is something I briefly studied in high school. Relevantly, this was taken in a class session for Photography and turned out much better than I thought it would. Conditions were awful in the classroom for capturing images, and props were scarce. The figure in the image is a classmate of mine.

I apologise to those with no interest in space and related topics, as it seems to be a dominant theme for my recent work.
