Luke Downes
Profile
Just your ordinary half-drunk poet, coasting through life on a cocktail of bourbon, wit and oft-failed attempts at irony. If you order this at a bar, you have to down it.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say.

Writing
Disposed Of (Like Celery-Tips)
I have to tip-toe / on my toe-tips / to avoid the honey of your lips.
The Madwoman's Ghost
here is this madwoman: / who once took a chipping axe / to her daredevil heart.
Buenas Tardes Amigo
Miguel Olmos knew before he even got out of the car that it was his beloved older brother’s body that had picked at by the local scavengers.
You Won't Even Know What Hit You
You like to cock the hammer, / swing the sword, / threaten to kick the chair / out from under / a man with a noose round his neck.
Ripe
in your chest that responds / by rising like oven-baked bread
I Drink My Medicine Down
everything is a switch to flip / an itch to scratch / in the middle of my back
