''Freedom is not when

the Master let him go,

Christianity and other myths

She said: ''You forget about

the fall back position

of Christianity: 

'Limbo' 

According to the Catholic church 

all 'souls' that had no faith

but were without sin- 

ended up there.

I envisage  

countless babies 

crawling around for eternity, 

crying for their mums!''

The Love Making Of Hiawatha

I sit beside you

your wanting me

I sit beside my self

my wanting your wanting 

your thigh

against my skirt

my skirt riding

my thigh's skirt riding

your arm that is resting

my breast that is pressing 

your movement at my chest

my movement cannot rest

your heat makes me wet

don't stop-not yet

your wine spills a drop

the wine spills-don't stop

the time ...

Behind The Event

Back where I was once

I am now contrived,

Awaiting  the return trip;

Waiting in strained advance-

Abandoned thus obliged.



This situationist event

Becomes an angry retort:

To reply to actions

One must think of the consequences-

Or file a 'Missing' report.

I dreamt of the end-of-the-world last night!

I stood and watched

Two planes collide.

And heard the sound

As from a memory.

The felt warmth

Of neutrinos,

Scarred an image

Through every skull.

Like a beautiful Angiogram.

We sighed as the missiles

Wrote their new world history-

Though shorter than a blink.

Betrayed

I watched and waited

for this falling light.

How the warmth of

friends

held your spoken

grip.

 

How the push and shove

just came and went.

How I miss her

and her name amongst friends.

 

The morning's ache

against

a worried sky

and long for gaze

betray this shuttered eye.

I wake again...

I Leant Against The Wall

She lay tangled In my bed-clothes.

I watched trapezoids of summer light make motes alive to the warmth. 

I leant against the wall and counted her breaths,

pale and shallow her rising breasts,

her hair webbed with sleep and

gripped to her belly my gown 

since last she bathed. 

 

I lowered my case-

and loved her more.

Advice to the Elderly November the Fifth.

Be careful to ALL fireworkers:

Old ladies with knitting disorders

And grumpy old men with pacemakers

Have vowed to ''Pour dribbles of WATER

Upon the fuse of each

And any firework

That they come accross''.

Informents have told police

To look out for suspicious groups

Of slowly moving strangers

Smelling of urine!

Assignation

My Love sits astride Another's Love

As I another sit,

My Love holds Another's hand

While Another's gaze is met.

Another watches  My Love's mouth

As I another watch,

My Love speeks Another's name

But My Love its troth I catch.

Persephone's Filthy Dream

This is the tangled time

The time that heavy with want

Becomes the jaw for open thighs.

My tasty flesh renders

The cleft for wet truth.

The hour is slim; my ache can shatter Persephone's slake.

Enthralled against the serpent earth!

Legs knotted, lay tangled in ancient ruin.

Closed form expression

Like every sequence defined by linear recurrence, the Fibonacci numbers have a closed-form solution. It has become known as Binet's formula, even though it was already known by Abraham de Moivre:

saddend useless with the verbs.

worried senseless many times.

Blackened Berries

 
I will blacken my tongue
with berries,
and the laugh will crack this smile;
with your face: always your face.
 
I will dampen my tongue
with tears,
and the laugh will soften this land
with your smile: always your smile.
I will comfort your words
with time,
and the laugh will open this prize
with your kindness: always your kindness.

This jig-saw thinking

Blended butter in the gaps

The most eloquent

Brass,

Echoed with wood 

and

Strings.

So this is how music

Can sound

A once and current bun

For thine is the trickery

And shall be holy upon the holies

A sun this day here has

And his shall be called Thomas

Thomas after the future kings of England

And Henry for the same reason

All for the day

Are men.

It's 2:45 and the neighbours are fighting.
Anal sex is preferable to the shit out-side.
A good rogering is prefered to eviction
And I am re-reading I Told You.
While walls spasm and the
Glotis grip-
The terror belches
A real good fuck.

i didn't know your leaving

nor wasn't told you'd gone

not knowing you were knowing

that i'd know i was not one

she left me all alone

not wanting to be one

i listened to her leaving

i new she had gone

so: she's not leaving knowing

so: she's listened to her gone

that knew she wanted leaving

left me the only one.

Train-line tangle

Of  the word spate

Lizzie by night

That second Lizzie
That once in a life second
The way you laughed that night
The way you fetched service
The way you looked- this easy...

The way you knew who we were that night
The way you were followed by all
The way you were trailed by me
The way you were sure of this and that
The way you were so easy to be
So very easy In my company...
