Olfactory Evoked Recall

A perfect blue

Silk distance

Shard swept

Petals groomed

Visions of childhood.

Of things lost

The Real Hell

In its certainty.

The torture of them.

Skull Profit

For Commissioner Moses Binoga

Leader, Uganda Anti Human Sacrafice Task Force.

 

Police are pleading for sanity

In a country of wild beauty.

As concrete climbs upward

And wealth begins to form.

 

But what happens when all capital

Becomes rare?

Redesigned?

When the profits curl uncertainty?

 

Well.

The Moon, 2211

The sky will glow soft streaks

Of purple and green

From an artificially inseminated

Atmosphere.

 

It will be

An industrial colony at first.

Workers, rustbeard scientists,

Cricket legged astronauts.

 

Then the rest will come.

Stiff lip families and

Financiers, senior executives,

The first settlers.

This Poem Has Nothing To Say

Some words seem to

Fit together

Even when they

Do not rhyme.

 

It could be something

Alien

A quick fix

An aggressive impression

 

Of a clearly superior language:

Mathematics.

 

That dink in the cosmic spring

Untangling the mystery

One dying scientist

At a time.

 

And when it does occur

Lung Sulk

Deep silver scene as the sun moves in.

Plastic shaded angles cover and smooth

Through the drench of branches

And multi coloured animals, uprooted

From the slow cool night

And now lung sulking in the shadows.

 

Creep forced by the skeletons

Of their lost relatives

Run over one summer

Or captured for entertainment.

The Moon: Golfballs, astronaut shit

For the organic and furious

A question and a sure thing

Is divided by nothing but time.

 

The moon could kill us all

With an inch of its bravery

Enslave us all in wonder forever

For the simple act of falling

 

Further and without hesitation

Into the darkening shack

Of mad curiosity

But instead

Sometimes I Am Not Born

Close your eyes and it is there:

Everything you recognize

And everything you cannot fathom.

Throughout the cosmic strings

And what we know as life is lost

In everchanging variations.

Voice In The Dark

Sometimes I hear it

Spread its breath

In a corner of the room.

 

It amplifies the glow

And tint of naked silver

Breaching the vestige of shade.

 

Sweet tumours of noise

In the granite silence,

The perfect disaster,

A civil war of the senses.

 

Sometimes I hear the voice

I know does not exist

In The Shadows Of Mountains

Several thousand years of built up force

It takes to make a mountain.

The popular friction of time

Surging forward on all sides.

 

Pushing mass upwards toward the sky.

Strict, unobstructed

As if freedom exists in this form.

 

As if the earth, wants.

The Plan Of Nature

An original glimpse of morning light

Cools quietly

In a slow tipped ebb

 

Or brim resuming

On the surface of smooth backed insects.

A familiar mist

 

Hangs light shades of blue

And purple diluted

On an otherwise indifferent canvas.

 

But a flaw in the plan of nature

Becomes apparent

When the sparks light up

In the city distance.

I Made The Earth Uncomfortable With My Hammer

A place three fields across

From where I was living,

The resting place of a certain stone

Face first to the sun.

 

Whenever I felt the world break loose

I took my hammer from the shed

And brought it to that field where

I stood at the foot of the rock

And beat it quick at first

 

Then slow bursts with each blow

A fraction of rage evaporated.

Although my bones are in position

For the shake that will break me

And not relived the world

Infants Become Skeletons

The fall of morning tumbles gently

In a drift and glimmer

Of silver lightshade,

The glue sap sticking to the day

Always moving forward.

Expected chaos at the break.

A slow loop resumes

Beyond the sudden fulcrum

Of skull and skin.

Occurs in refusal of thoughts

Too wretched to melt.

Euphrasia

The light there cools blue streaks

As it climbs the side of the hill.

She has her drawing pad and brushes

And slinks her way up.

 

At the top the view

That the world is still alive.

 

She begins to paint anyway

Quick flicks of the brush

Ascending scars of blue and green

The Censored Sky Of The City

A few miles into the city

And things become open

Very quickly.

 

The sky, little delicate springs,

Even conversation.

 

Its most apparent at night.

The colours are justified.

A million shades of solar shadow

In a glimpse: uncensored

 

And the clicking of cattle

Settling in a field

Determined that nothing should happen.

At first light the mist moves quietly

In a straggle of smoke and colour

From black to grey, smooth, unburduned

With a shudder of traffic light sighs.

When the birds have been fed

And survivors of the feast

Wriggle and squeak on the surface.

Where questions end

Just as the waves broke

And the shores poured in

A candle was lit in the distance.

He walked barefoot across

Beach rocks and flitch.

And the lick of darkness

Broad above, spread out

In the glint of midnight.

Each foot forward gave clarity to the flame

This is not a poem.

It is merely a theory.

You are in a room

For an entire lifetime

With nothing to do

In the first twenty years.

However no images

Then a hatch opens.

Interview.

Please come in.

Take a seat.

How long have you lived?

Under sex you wrote robot.

Thats good.

We encourage irony here.

You have yourself as reference

And your phone number has a 'the' in it.

We require heavy lifting

And long periods of standing up.

Beards are not essential

As full training is provided.

You may drink heavily

As long as you tell ...

Existentialullaby

Go to sleep.

The darkest hours

Shall be fortune

In a smoke of loners.

 

Do not cry.

The weary will be

Strong for the rest of us

Left in the twist.

 

Hush now.

I am here as servent

Of your slumber.

Gentle is the mind

That weeps of madness.

 

Go to sleep now.

Where you have been before

You shall be

Again.

Notes On Ed Gein

Exhumed the dead.

Made various things

Out of humans.

Bowls, clothes,

Necklaces, lampshades.

 

Then began to kill.

Bodies strung

Upside down

Like animal carcus.

Decapitated.

 

Ten skulls found in the kitchen.

 

Decaying faces

Hanging on the wall. Some

With lipstick drawn on them

And a shoebox of noses.

Long Gone Crawling

Cynical to the brim

Love lease of life

Leaving evil trends

Of degenerates

Broke and broken.

 

Heart cramped and static.

The tension of memory

Pawn thought delluded

Energetic failure

Or an old piece of music.

 

Long gone crawling

Dismal matter of fact.

And the distance peels away

From all sides.

Thinking In Image.

Full stop shockle.

Sandfoot sunrise

Horizon.

Shallow curls of water

Ankle brimming.

Shin sprinkled.

 

Rocks at the bottom

Flat animated.

Colour specks reflected

Neat warmth to form

Cotton skin shimmer.

 

Yawn sprawling.

Luxurized.

The possibility of ham

And wine.

 

A granding.

Bored on purpose.

Certain comfort.

The It Of It.

Under mustard sun.

Slight skip of lightening.

Dead heat and honey thunder.

Lonely as a bone.

Sheet metal whispers

Overrated fables fabricating

Meaning keeping dreamers

Insane to themselves.

 

Thought provoked

Silent annihilation

Of reason.

Desolate dark skies and dreary days.

Faint and cosmopolitan

Depression of senses

Lacking any stru...

Sullen fallow hollow

Reckless shadow tremor

Moving smoothly.

Not a lot of vision.

Stick thin wisdom.

Sullen fallow hollow

Technical menace

Rendered useless.

Fruits of disorder morethan

Capable of failing

The last glance of sad fathom.

Car Crash Blowjob

The silver blue car bellowed on the road. Lights flashed passing per milisecond.She pulled faster. He slammed on the accelerator. One hand out the window fisting the sky. Frictionessly she grappled at it. The music roared. Backseats rattling with empty lager bottles and broken picture frames. She changed hands. Bent down further. Gave it a lick. He waved at the sky in return, rhythm. She began ...

Fire On The Outskirts Of Perth.

800 hectares so far.

It has crossed to Victoria also.

This poem will finish

Before the fire.

 

The planet is trying

To kill itself

But will inevidably fail.

Not due to our intervention

But

Because of the rain.

A Small Encounter Whilst Bringing Back Gravy To The Shop

I was walking in the mist through Bolton market. A man bigger than me pushed past me. Neither of us aplogized.

"Aren't ya gunna say sorry?" he hollered. His face was pure war. Bigger than earlier.

"Okay I'm sorry.......I'm sorry that your bald and ugly." I said. He punched me in the smile. I fell. He went to walk away. I jumped up.

"Hey you prick, you punch like a nun." I shouted.

Sanity Is A Crushed Butterfly

I will ask you now

To grab my mind

With your

Thought claws

 

Eat my soul

With your

Thought cutlery

 

Let us consume

Everything together

Including ourselves

Leave nothing

For the rich to eat

But death

 

Start a cult

For the reason

Of starting a cult

 

Burn our bodies

Side by side

For sanity

Is a crushed b...

In Times Of Wretched

I have loved

In my own way

And in theirs.

 

It's something I've tried

Often

But not enough

To remain

Apparently.

 

It always gives shit

This paradox

If you can't do it first

Then you just can't

Be alive

 

So my doubt

Will keep me company

In times of hardship

And soberness

And make me so

In times

Of wretched.

This Chair Will Still Be Here

With ratching legs

Persuing history

I sit and and drink

THIS IS IT

With my drink I write

As my chair watches

Without judgement

Mute and one

With something meaningful

Above all else

ETERNAL

It knows

It's costume

And desguise

Will be here

Long after I'm gone.

Play that again Chopin

I Want All The Whores In The World To Be Happy

I want every living prostitute

In the entire world

To feel delighted in life.

 

Surely they deserve it more

Than any banker.

I want all the whores

In the world to be happy.

I want them to wake and smile

Like any relaxed christian.

I want every sex paid man and woman

To go asleep

Looking forward

To the following day.

 

I want them to wa...

Splinters

So I'll tell you something that happened. It was a couple of years ago and it was early in the morning. I woke up quickly in a sweat. I was dreaming about PILLOWS. Rows and rows of PILLOWS. All lined up in a park at night. There was somebody else there but I can't recall who they were or if they were friendly or not. So the PILLOWS looked at me with tiny cotton eyes and enough eyebrow material ...

If I Wanted

If I wanted to be real then I'd find myself an ugly woman. Have little ugly children with her that resemble reality. Get a job. Get married. Masturbate at two in the morning about my wife being asleep. Go to work early to catch up on boredom. Have friends. Get divorced. Masturbate about getting divorced. Eat bread. Listen to pop music. Buy a gun. Masturbate about shooting my boss or my ex wife....

Out At Sea

Sail waving in a mild wind

Clouds yawn at daybreak

Floating in a bucket of wood

Trail of fresh paint leaking

Flickering silent breeze

Stop before the rocks break break break

When the water runs out we will all drown in fire

 

As the boat collapses

Mind is absent

The world is inside out out out

 

Ocean opens up

Moment of scenery

Twelve dead...

Reward

There is reward in a leap

Worthy of leaping.

But to surface in the wrong

Is to wear bat skin

In the dark

And expect to see.

The Not Yet Chained.

Constantly following tomorrow

Barefoot on chalk pavement

Standing at regular intervals

And watching.

 

For something inanimate

Subdued or chained

Furniture from an old house

Nettles from childhood fields

A familiar cloud.

 

Intemperate weather

Hot and cold

Sun and moon at once

People are passing

They carry fire

To the exit

Of t...
