There is no
Difference between

The ***** and the moon

No mote in eye
And genius

No empty girl
Eternal

And glutton belly-
Full.

Love this-

This all

This dichotomy of
Failure and war
And deep dark
Kisses of adodelscent
Ardour.

I love you and hate
Hate and love me back-
Psssh you and I both nothing there is none-
Differentiation-
Stone in the shoe

And

Divine

This soul has grown
Through all seasons,

Hanging from the
Salt-cliff
Windblown.

This heart has grown
Through all seasons
Of wild love and
Dead unnoticed man.

This soul will
Survive the end
Of every moment

To goodbye
The earth

The spine
Brittled
Fired watered
Flexible
Floppy
And
Strong

This spine

So straitened

Bent
Tumbling over

This childlike
Trampolining
Body

Flexible brittle broken
Borne above gravity

The spine stiffening
This will
So long

He bestrode the world
Like a colossus

Unfortunately,
Volcanoe erupted
And singed his
Hairy *****

Shell cracks wrapped in Knuckle

Squeeze the oily
Memory
Through Flesh of Seed.

In this Kernel the Beating
Heart of Being
Expresses
From Land to Stalk from
Barking Stem to whippet waving Leaf.

All my Head exposed in
Creamed whorls of Walnut-
The Apple Pip of Manhood shown
Only to Woman

Capacity of sympathy
For cold universe.

Intermittent orbs of burning
Radiation.


Pitiless
Universe
No empathy for

Sullied creatures crawling
In pond sludge

Only dimly aware of
God's failure.

Missing the warmth
Of woman

Bed half empty
Half dead

Blinking

With nothing to do
And nowhere to go

Stay put and
Suffer it through.

Walked 10,000 miles-

Not enough! Not enough!

No master
No disciple

Walk on
Walk on

So far come

So further to go-

Borrowed from sea-

Fog wet-kissing

Moonlight

I carry them
Everywhere

These glasses


Tipped them when
We met

And when you were
Lost

O god

I nearly died

But thanks to empty glasses

I survive

After the ******

Father

After you killed me-

Your little boy-

I say goodbye-

Father-

Long after

You died



Goodbye

And all
Those microbes
That make and
Form and shake
This little body
Will also

Consume

Slime

Fractal

Shell

Is the way you go

The way you go

Is yours.

Canopy and
Undergrowth

Tabernacle
Of freedom

Leaf litter and
My feet

Lulling the soul
To soul to sleep.

Iam the compost
Man

Buried warm within
The heap

My head is an empty space
Crossed at times by small sparks

A memory
A thought
Cloud
Delusion

Coming and going
And gone

Moon

She

Trust


Ego

Mom met dad

Disastrous confluence.

Thanks for the introduction
To misery

And a dying planet

I love you?

It is you

VAST SPACE

To love the
Universe-
Dark and harsh

Is hard.

Beneath a
Permafrost of
Not belonging

Possible touch of
Mercurial heat
May welcome

Or burn.

Alone? Yes
Scared? Yes

Loving the
Inevitable extinction,
Principle of alien
Love

Meat is just grass

Muscle only mind.

One white bull
Four black cows

One green field
On mountainside

Live in a cave
In high
Himalyas-

Put your machines
In a bag

And drop them

Down a
Responsible
Ravine--

After a time
Hear the gentle

****** and
Smash

Of the genocidal
Genes

Created by
We

Hmmmmmmmm

Woken by orchids
Kissing my ear-

Found the moon had fallen
Into a puddle.

Unexpected overnight rain-
And with moon departed
And orchids ******* puddle

Within my pain
I wonder

Will we ever witness
Such a night again?

1
As weeds we
Sprouted through
Rubble

Yearning for
Butterfly
Colour

Screaming at the
Light

2
Cobbles dull as
Uncut diamonds-

Porous brick seeps
Victorian soot and
Rain-

Beneath Peace Street
Railway arch,
Pigeon guano
Slips the slide to
School

3
Smog
Hand unseen across
Childish face-

No place to
Become other than
Monstrous

Born on the river

King Thames.

Floated to the estuary.

Time to die

Or return?

Salmon

In the essence

The out of time
Being

Try to love

Love

Give

The new hat sports a white plume

The Carolean coat is lace ruffed

The face is rouged and moustachioed

The breeches swell pleated
Around the thigh to
Highlight silken stockinged calf

The shoes remain, unfortunately, buckled
But the silver matches the sword,
The hilt is bejewelled

And the horse, Stallion
Large white (grey)
Magnificent.

The ugly Puritans,
Locked in round helmets,
Noses pelmeted
Literature expunged

Flee

Lovely crater

Your sweet cordite
Smell.

Yang war
Seed of peace

Peace and love
Nurturing
Nurturing
War.

And here we are
All in all

All against all

A naked embrace
Of drooling
Fools

Grey squirrel fight
Pink petals scatter

SPACE

13 Pearls
In the sands of Arabia
12 got lost

Now where is the other

Fog navigator
Streetlamp puddle up-
Sun to sun

Nostril

Breath

One foot
Before
One foot after
Before

Turn left
Or right
Beyond the
Gateless
Gate
And walk
And trust
The feet to
Go
Just where
You ought
To.........

Peony Petals
Expand and drop-

Pink to White

Such Aroma

Such a Sight!

Yesterday
Sun up came

Today
The same

How wondrous

This sundry
Banality

***

No

The breakthrough
When it
(Finally)
Came

Was sudden

Cold then hot the dish
By turns evolves a decadence
Of Death.

This blue green fungus is
Culture,
Renaissance can wait for
The Bloom of Dissolution to fade.

Hand dissolves in
Mind eye
And Survivors pick over the
Will of off-white Bones

This body is the
Flower of the Soul,
Critical Mass desirous
Of Being.

No shame in the Flower,
Full blooming or
Fading,
Petals droop, running to
Seed.

The End comes swiftly,
Nitrogen gravitates to
Tuber.

O Flowering Soul,
Dead and Alive-
Your Beauty fumes as
Spirit to Sky

With the
Burning
Of this toast

I honor the spirit

Of the living

God sat on my shoulder

Those days-

Whispered in my ear
Undiagnosed-

Until he left.

The ancient of days
Still clung to the ceiling

Modigliani
Gauguin hanged
Naked on the wall.

I prayed for one
Glimpse

Of the beyond

Tipped a bucket of words
Down the Well,

Echo calls:

"Soon to be forgotten"

How strong is the rope?

Useless

Happy

When knife

Slices

There is

Now

No-one

There

Cold old moon

See-saws

Broiling old sun

Over the hill and

Goes hide to seek

In plain sight
