Phasma
Him and her upstairs, one loud, one quiet Clones of different generations In wars with inexistent beings, in ear How long until I gouge my eyes out With her long golden pins For the damage is done Because blindness is a better explanation Of how Oedipus became a woman In an abusive Boston marriage Of […]
New Woman
From bicycles and cigarettes To corset waists and MAGA face, Why are we now looking At the new Old Woman?
Olga
He’s the kind of man to salt a snail So I’ll ask him to bring me Three sparrows and three pigeons to Fly home and burn his town, oh Such silly useful idiots Always flying home To their bad masters Your neighbours behave Only in intact chains And your city isn’t far For fire to […]
Yugas
And I don’t know if The atmosphere will catch on fire this time Or if we’ll fall into a hole in the earth But something’s gotta change in here Because my skin is crawling and Something is suspicious in a cycle When things stop feeling right
Panelka
Growing up, each step is a ladder To be thrown away after climbing, Else it trips you like a stone Past the blue Danube To the Black Sea Still stand grey concrete blocks of a red state Coloured with piss, of the Dogs and men that have lived here And to you dear reader, This […]
Dolman
There’s dust devils too Inside the sands of time Two years ago I met a man Designed little candlesticks and trinkets But had a face and soul so hollow Could moisten Ayn Rand With pinned doll eyes so blank But warm up ice And it loses its shape He got it from his container That […]
Basal
Meet Gaia’s sun 9 times 10 years later, he’ll derange your skin Tell a lie a thousand times And that version of the universe Will take hold by consensus This is the truth now These are the cells we’ll make Building vasculature to feed his cancer A nonconformist who walks sideways Pale of skin, freckled […]
Frux
A murder business midwife Delivers vengeance through a wound unhealed And thus the wheel spins round and round
Rabota
That’s the machine’s new rhythm Forced infant labour With sophomoric effort In a lovely summary With lovely jaundiced faces A cat that’s learnt to start crying For I have to pay for your memory But not your sycophancy I don’t know what twice fried tail tastes like But ask a knot of Ouroboros Is it […]
Anabranches
A heart beating chest Blue networked veins Working Rivers viewed from space Undressed They pulse under this light And race At speed of thought
Domicile
And the furniture was in the room But his hands, too tired to move Icons cast pitiful judgement As their eyes follow you It’s what you choose A pre-nailed down being Half-naked, see the detail, that relief Comes flat packed, cast in brass And hungry, to your taste If only you could make him rise […]
Tarsier
I design the shade of dark To colour my prowl A garish street light chase Is no dignity of ending But acceptable when you’re still dry Dry Dry at night The ears to hear you better with The eyes to see you better with And my third finger It’s no surprise to find you here […]
Japanese silk
Chase the light at the right frequency Know it ain’t the sun, but fly A pin will show you To the man who knows some truths Orient his eyes, if your dust looks right You’ll bend light too And turn into his prize
Body admin
I hate I chase the taste Then it’s night already Managing borders, sovereignty Half intake, half time in waste Mostly water takes the space I wish I spent doing what transcends Instead of being stuck in body admin At least not taste for chaste But from bed, to bar, to fridge, to face We return […]
Feathers
Make a pillow of my ruffled feathers Til I’m cold and weathered Make a puzzle out of funhouse mirrors Til I recognise myself again I don’t want to shed the blood I don’t want more of this stuff I want to be the last animal And tar the branch at last Until we’re all too […]
Lenin was a mammal
Don’t go talking to robots Or eat mushrooms until you’re one Because the echo of everyone The informatic mitosis In a random amplified signal Is nothing but a borg psychosis
A love letter to the city
In a Sydney state of mind The roaches in the floorboards And the roaches in the streets Are scheming their lifestyle moves Crawling over well-appointed Painted-over switches and windows That won’t open to prove Nothin’ to the lords of our homes Now that I’m longer in the teeth Getting longer in the teats, bled dry […]
Cargo 200
A swansong of limbs on a grainy TV But the ghosts of idealism Wrestled their way in via private interests All fat cats now, but friends with the rats And the rest of us, in cargo 200 May we all watch Swan Lake once more Until the end of time And see how their skirts […]
Flower boys
And after he was planted in the ground Just like a tulip bulb War broke out and his value rose up To push the daisies out It takes printed usurps To make a dead man work so hard From beyond the grave like that
Too late
So she ate a poison apple From the burning tree It embarked a strange flavour But that ain’t the story for me Even if my hair caught fire And smoke ran through the streets A woman’s desire is sometimes Just to have something to eat I won’t miss you If it takes over a month […]
Pippi
Hey Pippi Longstockings I could hang my coat on that nose With those stories I won’t ask where those golden bars Of yours came from Or when the old monkey of yours Last showered
Blue note girl
So my blue note girl has met a man He’s promised her something She’s kissed him once, she’s dazed Says she feels a connection with him Man, I guess that’s convection for you. I’m not hurting, but need to untangle That knot in my throat when you tangled my tongue with yours Spend another night […]
Property ledger
Split up into little duos Two against the world Into atomic kin Don’t have too much fun Or think Because unstable orbits Might give people ideas
