This piece of twittery was composed over several hot days in January. I would stand outside, throw my head back and try to feel the wind somewhere inside me. The results were tweeted, to twitter and recompiled here. Twitery is a new digital form of poetry. Well, perhaps it is not real poetry, but 'twittery' is a new form of 'twiterature'.
These lines were written a few at a time and posted to Twitter over the course of a few evenings. I am now maintaining a seperate twitter account to receive these digital meanderings. If you are on twitter then add me @christwitery and you can receive verses as they are produced in your twitter stream. By looking at my profile page @christwitery - but in reverse order - you can gain an idea of the status of our current projects. I have just started twitery #3 Pixelated. If you would like to contribute your own twitery, or your own poetry then please contact me. DM @christwitery - I look forward to seeing others take up twitery.

Wind
by @chrisloft
Tonight I am the wind - hold back my head - ride whispers of the air. Ride on a breath and circle, like a bird; riding the streams of night.

Hold back my head and turn, off in the darkened distance; out thru the starry night - fly down from a dizzy height, turn to a far-off place.
5:48 AM Jan 29th from web
Out past the power station; turn by the lonely school; down where they dance the tango; rise up go round again - turn on a night-time breeze
5:53 AM Jan 29th from web
Glide over sparking pylons, sweep past the school on the hill, wide by domestic driveways, skim thru a winding track; turn, and then go back
6:02 AM Jan 29th from web
Close my eyes: rise, on waves of drifting sky; out in a lonely night, dancing from a dance floor, catch your breath and sigh, again and fly.
6:25 AM Jan 29th from web
Catch your breath. Ride the wind, dive thru your dominion, sigh thru wall of air, dive like there's nothing there. Turn in a graceful circle
2:37 PM Jan 29th from web
Hold back your head, be the wind, feel her whispered touch. Close your eyes, float and glide between airified undercurrents. Don't hold back
2:45 PM Jan 29th from web
Power out in heatwave, fourty one degrees; fans off computer off; broadband has ceased. Cigarette in the front yard, slightly cooling breeze
5:58 PM Jan 29th from web
Power restored, I'm whole again, not deleted; I have not died. Not this time. Pick up bits and jiggle them all back together: like my life.6:25 PM Jan 29th from web
Tonight I'm a wind, thoughts on a breath, dreams of a moment, riding the night on fingers of air, fresh from the mountain, hot from the sun.

Cool as water, whisper so silent, breathing so gentle, dark as the night. Riding the waves of meandering moments, cast the night like a scar .
1:24 AM Jan 30th from web
Hold back your head, feel trembling begining, danger ahead as you float through your rage. Glide through misty aparitions - with your grace.
1:29 AM Jan 30th from web
Round, fly around and circle. Get your bearings from shapes on the ground. Fly from your markers, clockwise in circles, gentle flying around1:31 AM Jan 30th from web
Take these as anchors that connote all meaning, fix on the landscape that lies under your wings. Anchor your bearings and fly like the wind.
1:33 AM Jan 30th from web
Now hold back my head. Now I can stand and ride the wind: over houses, over streets, over fields and trees; now I am a shadow of the breeze.3:12 AM Jan 30th from web
Now I can stand here and be there. I am the wind. I am not rooted to this earth. I am freed of its shackles, I am master of its tenuous hold
3:26 AM Jan 30th from web
And now I am. And now I am beginning. I am the raging wind. I am the quiet breeze. I am the whisper of your name as I float above the trees.
5:11 AM Jan 30th from web
As I stand here all alone - screaming out your name; I cast my eyes above you, searching for your smile. Piercing blue eyes - that scorn me.
5:14 AM Jan 30th from web
Hold back my head, become the wind, search for your smile, smiling eyes, chasms I can no longer enter. Places that are forbidden to my soul.
5:16 AM Jan 30th from web
Lost in the wind. Lost from your heart. Lost from your smiles. Whisper my name and bring me back to life; or I die here in this lonely cell.
