Gazing into

Jaws of hell
And laughing

Laughing

Laughing

Bellyful of eggs

Now

Bag of dry bones

Oh!

Love love love

Water-drowning

Straw-

Lady J

Keeping me

Breathing

Cracked glacier

Rift in ocean floor

Yes we parted

When?

Who knew the drift

Apart

Would grind

Aeons

And bleed

Hearts dry

Last leaves swept
Pile

Years heaped

Wan smile

I do
Every day with
Five
Or six
Senses-

You do
Now-

For the rest-

Who knows?

Hitched a ride,
Dark matter.

Overtook light to the
Edge of expansion.

Over the edge to the
Beige beyond.

Nothing there, no-where.

Came home.

Home?

Homer.

Penelope you sit weaving.

Where?

No pleasure

Too little pain

Mediocre song

1
Snout-
Soft earth hardening
To frost-

Sharp claws
Deft holes

Pouted cheeks
Puff chromosomal
Seed

And cover.

2
When
Where
Random but

Here stands
Forest

Forgotten by
Overfed
Rodents.

3
Trillion pin
*****
Galaxy lights.

4
What
Legacy

May glow

Beyond
Infinity.

5
Here
Now

It is all

Freely from
Me

To you

And when

That summer
Leaf

Do open

How can you not
Lick
That leathery
Offering

Arises

Evaporate like

Dew

The god
Of the poppies
Is dead.

Cares not
They lie
Beneath sun,

Star studded sky.

Scythe
Disinterested

You and
"
Dead

1
I did not **** them
But let them die

Because their roots
Offended you

2
Spring this year was
Daffodil bright and
Iris blue

3
Blood shows clear
On snow
White-

She lies in
Ruins

Now

Striving for greatness
Or

Better

The still
Small
Voice
Whispering

Heart heart heart

O to ****** a phrase
From the plethora!

To catch a likeness
Of truth,
Verbally hooked-

To free
This
One
Instant

A tangle
Of sticky

Silk

Not yet dry enough

For weaving into

Beauty.

(Silken cravat
Soothes my craggy
Poet
Neck)

How how how


Have I loved you

How

So much

How to know

The day time collapsed
Between my toes

I picked it out
With horned nails
And rolled a ball
To flick.

Time you slime
And mess big nose,
Inhibit breath.

You work for me,
Time

I shall not bow
You advocate of death

I spit on space
And defy the
Lack of power in
My.........

She wants to dance

He wants to fight

each word hangs on
it's own rope


how to help them
intertwine
to lift from dank jungle floor

climb through the canopy

show monkey eyes the
wood amongst the trees

Outside galaxies
Staggering sun
To sun

My poor old chords
Have withered and
Dried

No progression
Of singing

No siring

To cry

Time we lost
Looking past

Don't look

Don't try

Eyes are backward

Future lies

Don't look hard

Don't try

Murmur of prayer

Heard

Where?

With love
And beauty

Immovable seat

Earth revolves

Around mind

You shook
Something loose

(Red blood-
Heart
That was dead
White

Pumping again)


You

****** of crows caw
And claw memorial at Westcliff prom

The Heroes
Mostly dead or
Dismembered

Whisper why on
Atlantic wind
West and why
Why

Smile came

Cornered

Lost

Followed by

Lady

Followed by

Lost
Lost
Lost

In smile

Blades  of grass

We die

Be happy

Today

If you read me
You need know
Nothing.

Only read
And finish
This...

We all find our own
Rocky road to hell.

Some unspool thread
Or scatter bread-
Crumbs

To sustain the way home.

For some it is beatrice
Angelically swaying

For me it Lady J

Patiently waiting

Walls you built
Hurt too many times
Walls between your
Eyes
Lapis lazuli

And mine.

Brown skinned girl
Blue eyed
Take up your veil
And shake mine eye

The last fuel

A bonfire of
Inanities-

An egg cracks

Loud as thunder-

Phoenix

Still - born

White paint finish
On Georgian stucco
Over red-brick.

Bomb falls at night

Dawn breaks
Tiny flecks Twinkle

Like stars

Light of sun
How small am i?

Infinite space with
Small objects.

Very little chance
For voyager to crash.

So little chance for
Mike to meet

The woman

Saw you-

Molten stuff from
The navel of the world-

Never cooled to earth-

Bubbled desire
Moulded to a sigh

Quaking your surface
Only to subside.

May your fluid state
Persist unstabled
As the end of day

Breathes orange

O mother moon

Moving away
Away
So
Slowly-

Clutching at skirts

Spinning
Falling

Against your huge
Horizon-

Tiny height-
Thumbnail sketch
Phased-

Cartoon of cosmic time

Reflected for the

Ignorant

Strange scent
Of orchid
Clinging
Like death
To bark.

Shoe soles
Melt into
Mud

Single crocus

Hello

Heart leap

1
Open well
Rounded
Stones
Water-worn
And mossed-

Light lichen
Grazing
Top touch
Stone-

Stone
And water
And air

Open like
Spinal
Column

Ganglion
Connection

Through which
Pass all
Sensations

Necessities of
Air
Water
Growth
And stone-

2
Well and
Open to
All
Sensation

And necessary
Breath
Of life

Through
Bodies rigid
With fear
With joy
Withal
Emotion
Travail

Travelling
Through ether
Escape
The mortal

Soul

Livid
Live

Breathing
Stone
Air-moss-lichen
Water

­Well alive

A mere
Million years

This pebble
Will be
Everywhere.

Yesterday
Mountain

Tomorrow
Cave.

Mud on feet
Anywhere trod

Some stupid footprint

For
Science
Or
God

Glacial melt-
Lake nibbles at
Mountain.

Moon sea-
Four billion years
Yawning.

Love pits and
Farrows
Face.

Not so gentle-
Pinkish blood
Gorged passion.

Turn brow-
Lower lids
Pitted
Dusty

Grey

Weeds grow all around

Hair sprouts
Ears nose

All but shiny pate

Heavily courting
Pigeon ****
Puffed up green
Nodding a dance.

Hens peck and posture
Disinterest.

But so many pigeons,
Hens lie

Explosion of seed

Refugees blown high

And wide

To interbreed-

The race evolves
But
Beware the weeds

Without taking
A single bowl-

Spoon by spoon

Little by
Little

The big ***

Empties

There is nothing

In the way

Howling outside your

Window

Am I not allowed
To love
Once more?

Am I not allowed to feel
Remonstrance strong?

Yes love knows
No bounds and with my love
I honour thee

J
