Skip lid
If you believe you won’t perish before your descendants are torn into atoms apart, you’ll need to look at the world from a lesser distance to start to understand universal love for it is loud as a boom that’s sonic, not bourne of sexuality, nor in nature Platonic. It is an absence of anxiety which […]
From near as from far
The first photon seen in life Made of love born of violence And sheep clothing of determination Zoom out, it’s like a fractal Even a virgin’s teeth Still live between the lips She is beclawed By inheritance, hips mortal When the first half of us Swam to a new home The unlucky drowned headfirst Burned […]
Tunnels
The light at the end of the tunnel will be a train At which point you will wake up a second last time If you trust your eyes You’ll live If you trust the Logos You’ll prosper If you trust Logic Blindness and Hope will both perish Salome came of some 205 pages in a […]
Ganymede
I was Ganymede of Galileo, not of Zeus, protected by a battered skin in pits from disease of the body and glacier scars dragging across the skin from disease of the mind. Scratch the insect bite until you break skin; the itch has now gone. The insect has not. You will wake up again, unremarkable […]
Obtund
Touch your skin to cold my child Point your eyes toward the sun And keep your finger in the blue flame As did Ual and Ory, twins named Perception Remembered as loss and victory In a game where hierarchy has no place Forget discomfort, take on one real sensation Rearranging merely flour of the bread […]
Chondriac
This gentle friction can strip off thin skin clean Like a medicine bottle’s label soaking in warm water Once he touched down, my chest started to burn Fear of that too small to see, every man is flawed An apple a day is a drip of poison as another face gets pale Pavlovian fear of […]
Satellites
For beauty’s found inside abandoned sheds Filled by strange tools for romantic future use We are sitting on the silent ledge, no winds The past is partial, fragmented Tainted by the moment’s colour For nostalgia is wonder Stripped down, purified and unattainable Instinctive learning, sending searchlights for signs Excited by the unknown, that’s still familiar […]
Spaceman
Sleeping like a nomad at night in the international space station, they said you hit the ground headfirst if you don’t start by aiming at the low hanging fruit before flying out to Mars. With memories fragmented across the universe, past times are still well versed in all our worlds, alas the singularity may only […]
Mono
The more sources of light beam to illuminate your sides The more shadows will stalk you on the way along your strides Solo, duo, trio or quo, we are limited To seeing only mirrors of ourselves
Youth
Her eyes glimmered like green marbles rolling across a classroom floor. It was a memory that left me bruised – like the knees under her socks, which were covered in scrapes from blissfully playful and carefree ignorance; those first few strikes of exposure to the outside world. Her cracked lips smiled at me awkwardly from […]
Puss in Boots
Black lace over the lampshade creates haze It is hard work to climb up To a mound so smooth and steep A landscape for sore eyes and long days In absence leads poor men to weep Then she will hover As naive lambs, they start off sober Her piercing stare adds to the fuel Burning […]
Cream and Milk
With wells for eyes And skin that’s silk We homogenize together like cream and milk Running my fingers through blond hairs in the morning Translucent in the sunlight, soft to the touch If I was an explorer, I have been sent to launch If I was an alien I have touched down my craft On […]
Lime Chicken Kiev
I looked outside to see The lawns were covered in broken baubles Took a walk towards the bees For the honey, not because it’s noble The stench of rain was in the air I ran amuck to see myself In the reflection of a skip’s lid A nihilistic head under unruly hair Street dogs were […]
Smoke and Mirrors
If our minds are comfortable and uninspired we will remain unevolved, like Southern marsupials, free of competition, inside a vacuum, too stagnant and stale to encourage change. For change is a forceful, effort-requiring utilitarian behaviour. For change is the reaction to discomfort. Few have enough intellectual discomfort to experience willpower. We will continue to look […]
Tar and feathers
I stank of oil, greasy black Shook my legs out for a spin Coughing through some dampened lungs Cloudy like the room we’re in Wall to wall of pornstars that we’ve never been Like headless flies, hung up on same old memes Faces on posters with no name, in a Boson’s lifetime Same repertoire, same […]
On the walk home
Cityscapes cut out of jagged skyline Sky like black silk, stained with iodine Heard a scream from east to the street A cat’s eyes close and fade like mist A’capella from street crossing alarms Theatre lighting from fluorescent streetlights The chill snaps into my skin, rain on my neck Walking home from our last rights […]
Dunes
With the sack over my shoulder Taking the old walk slow Moving on and going down To a land I’ve never known Those hills are steep, with the ground too smooth Pleasure’s antics keep me on my way Not taking too many looks back Yet not only looking at what’s infront Of eyes partly open, […]
Thursday nights
Beneath the checkout sign glare Is always a piece of something to remind me That reductionism leads us together to the middle Travelling from the station of ideas to reality Material can appear featherweight, but then it’s heavy Touching shoulders, but our electrons are far apart upon magnification We are made of vast empty spaces, […]
On the explainable
An irrational, unbearable fascination. The compulsion to look into somebody’s eyes, the screen through which our perception of somebody is distorted whilst we experience the paradoxically intense desire to know them, to analyse the structure of their persona, every grain composing their skin, slopes at the peak of an ear, every web of their iris […]
Postman’s Wife
She’s hysterical, his biblical perfection Can work the locks to her own hands And when he’s gone, she’ll scream outside A burning space oddity, just like other girls Perfect maids, marching in the street It takes cruelty to seem so kind To one’s neighbour, to oneself Words become corrupt When parity is missing in their […]
