Matthew Weldon's Dangerous Thoughts

Writer. Performer. Third Noun.

Haikus Two

Explosion

Freshly ground coffee.

Buttery pastries, still warm.

My arse, exploding.

——

The Moped

Two-stroke engine whine.

Scent of petrol, left behind.

Get your full license.

——

First date

Hello, I’m sorry,

Are you – ah, okay, it’s just

I’ve not met them yet.

——

Webber

I still don’t get what

A Jellicle Cat is, or

Why I ought to care.

——

Sunday

It’s so quiet now,

Especially first thing, when

Silence is loudest.

——

Jacob Collier

Jacob Collier

Put some proper trousers on

And stay in one key.

——

Compulsion

Check just one more time –

The oven might not be off,

And you’ll kill them all.
