31.01.12. Aurora/5.02.12.

I saw his
heart turn on 
its head and he 
was there upside 
down laughing at me


he couldn't 
help it he'd had 
some refried beans that 
dance to an old recipe 
when they hears a 
clicking noise or 
helium cloud 

I wanted a
defect so I pray
for mercy and a posy
of nettles from
the guru


the snap
stuck out like 
a sore thumb 
and what we
oujht 


ackkk painful 
through clenched 
teeth suck a straw of air 

they 29th

ray of
concentrated
smoke goes through
the lung wall. They 
have come for me 


even death
will not part us 
you might find
yourself doing 
the hardest 
thing you
ever did 

28.01.12.

I seem
to be crying
from the stomach
remembering eyes
like glass marbles

and his death

bone 28th

and he 
pushes his 
soul against my
bone he says he's
got some medicine
for me ...


that will
cure me of my 
caffeine addiction 

music

music 
cannot be
calculated 
even you're as 
cunning as a cat
laying plans like a 
military strategist


I can't 
measure the
growing that swells
in my chest when I 
reach out to your
birdsong 


and how
my sing hearts 
and no you can't 
put a price on hands
that call each other
to rub away the
void 


you're not
ready to know this 

fast lane 27th/28th

another 

time the fox 

and cat were trying 

to outstare each others

in the middle of 

a fast lane  

it goes
berserk and 
starts foaming
chased the fox uphill
4 real bits of red fur in
its mouth 


bits of 
holes in t fox fur 
cat is a bit psycho 
is sharp and scratchy 
if you rub it up the 
wrong way 


hisssssssss
owwwwllllllll


screeeeetch
aarrrrrrllllll


pulls back on
its haunches and
boiiinnnggg


then I see
a normous birt
with big feathers
I dance aside the wall
so invisibly and hovver 
like a ghost ... sink my 
teeth into its 
neck 


the fresh
summer dawn
compliments the 
crunching noises
making a mess on 
my gossamer
front 

she pulls
my hair so I slap 
her I have seen cats
fight dogs in real life ... 
one had ripped ears 
from a scrap with 
a fox 

must put a 
scarf over my face 
and go in a different 
room somewhere 
theres a bit more 
air

The combination of faded grey-blue curves and chrome trim is slightly reminiscent of the styling on a 1950's refrigerator we've now wired the display up to some modern energy-saving electronics that are triggered by a pushbutton on the right ofthe cabinet, and now  it lights up in 1950'spastels and rotates acouple of times when thebutton's pushed. This is surprisingly fun. 

A custom cabinet under construction in one of the Museum worships More behind-the-scenes building work. Having spotted a gap where (after somebuilding maintenance), we could squeeze another very narrow cabinet into the Museum, it's time for some more custom-fitted cabinetry. Notice the 30-degree angle on the sides.  The new cabinet will appear in Arch Three in early December, housing the collection of cast iron locomotive models that used to be in Arch Two (before being displaced by the Budgiecollection )

We've just built a new archway!Or at least, we've built a new "artistic" faux-stone cladding for oneside of the forward archway We also have some Cunning Plans for another part of the Museum, but we aren't allowed to talk about them yet...We have working planes, trains, boats and cars, and a small-scale traction engine and quarter-scale Spitfire in our lobby. We have collections of Dinky Toys, Meccano and other construction toys, puppets, steam engines, furries including the Steiff Bear, and two large model railway layouts, in 0 and 00 gauge. We're accredited, we're area registered charity. 

working and reworking the contents (and squeezing in more and more pieces each time) to create the best possible display of classic items from the 1920s and 1930s.The pieces are grouped from left to right in date order, so the wall efffectively gives an overview of the early evolution.We haven't yet done a final count of even the approximate number of items in , but we think that the overall effect is nowslightly staggering, even for visitors who aren't dedicated

walked in

uh oh
think i just walked in
on my parents 


so I goes 
in another room 
wiv 2 boyz and nobody
wants tu git lift out 


big huge pout 
nearly choked on
my tea a lumpy throat
that tugs at my stomach
and theres coffee all
over the place 


he's been 
winding me up for days

sights

I can give
you my body
sure we can travel
any kind of water
from tropical to
ice and see the
sights


but I 
put my heart
in my open hands
and let it fly to you 
does it go in the 
dustbin

27.01.12.

he's sort 
of snorting at
me like a orange
hog sure I can keep
my cool when he's
circling me with 
headbutts and 
hot air


stands 
there grunting
knocked me over
flat on my face like
a falling plank Id 
like to stay here.
Thy kingdom 
come 

Hornby rotating sign
Pentagonal Hornby illuminated shop sign Oneof the rarer pieces in the Hornby Wall is a slightly Art Deco-ish 1950'sfive-sided Hornby Dublo rotating sign. The combination of faded grey-bluecurves and chrome trim is slightly reminiscent of the styling on a 1950'srefrigerator.

As part of our plans to try to increase thenumber of interactive items, we've now wired the display up to some modernenergy-saving electronics that are triggered by a pushbutton on the right ofthe cabinet, and now it lights up in 1950'spastels and rotates acouple of times when the button's pushed. This is surprisingly fun.

n he's got 
always my 
sister there and
then they tells me
to go away 


round 
eyed I toddles 
off looking for
Titanias dream 

26.01.12.

he looks
so vulnerable in
a long soft cotton
dress like so so made
of glass you can see
ballads play even 
when he's silent


must stroke
him more gently
if I can just run my
hands over his 
cheeks coyly
he says no 

quickly I
have to not
appear desperate
but he lets me
sroke his
hair

even if
were both hard
pushes me away
with his foot hiding
his face in his fair
hands asking me
not to make 
demands 

25.01.12.

I start 
talking 
gibberish
when he calls me 

24.01.12./25th/26th

Ive twisted 
my neck its 
cricked


and I was 
right there 
inside of him
running through
his veins 


that was 
before he gave 
birth to me where
I lay thrashing
about on the
floor

its the
child in me
that likes to play
get over it or baby
move away

since when
is a child faithful
to its parents

 

23.01.12. misc

its the static
electricity that 
caused my hair
to stand on end


makes quite 
a jet if you take
off the shower head
let it spray while
you clean the 
bath


my mam
he's got the bottle,
thy will be done 
and you can't
do that in 
public 


not without
a tablecloth 

22.01.12.

makes the 
soft bit go hard 
and his hard skin
covered in silk 


traced a 
pattern on his 
heart. Shouldn't 
take advantage 
and he teases
so he pushed
me with his
heel

just my 
hand? wants 
me to say grace
sigh. 'kneel by the
bed and put your
hands together'
as he covers 
my eyes 


now pray ... 

21.01.12./25th26th

and they 
didn't claim to 
have crystal balls 
or a amethyst mine
for that matter


there's a scab
that looks like 
a vein chiming

he has such
original ideas

the lost spirits
in the haunted
ship have nowhere
else to go in harbours
built for this world


under little curling cliffs
with tufts of shiny black
grass. the wimpering of 
puppies' paws will
break my soul  

19.01.12.

blow it
so I roll over
and pull up my 
knees so he won't 
get to me. Can't
stand being  
tickled


feel like
Im being kettled 
like just kids 
again

shouts pushing
his foot in 
my side 

15.01.12./16th

its freezing
and my knees 
are raw

so aggressive 
breathing fire
on the frost 


in the blue
morning light 

13.01.12.

so gently 
undoes the 
buttons and 
reached into 
my chest 


grasps
the organ 
and rips it out 
runs screaming
like a banshee 


don't care
what you wrote 
Im not coming 
to see you 

13.01.12.

pierced by
the scream he
aims the dagger
at the wall and it
landed on my 
chest 


now I
feel like a 
cartoon with
little roundy feet 

le boucher 13.01.12.

it squirms

and wriggles 

when you go then

its jumping out its

socket banging 

on the walls 

drumroll

symbols good

morning heartache

now its swinging a

round by a vein

will you take it 

in your hand

soothe this

clashing

dischord

6.01.12/7th/11th

like there's
an alien digging
about in there 
gruesome 


its white
hands covered 
in ink. Can you
play lacrosse with 
a doughball in 
your mouth

did you see

the dark side of

the spirit holding

up its treasures. 

Better leave the
pine branches
out too many
enzymes 


ornamental
heart makes a
mark
