Sunday 3 March 2019



Something vanished into the scrub
Behind the wallpaper 
Is it so difficult to obtain an essence
On the track today, we, that is myself and the other person together 
Saw somebody frozen under the ice, discarded shiny metallic bottles of gas
Miraculous as a fly in amber this flowering mind germ starts to gestate, to unfold
Turning itself over, revolving into another shape
A crescent of new bulbs starting to bud
A faerie ring,  a ring of fire 
Take the ghost out for a walk, give it an airing.
In slo-mo the folksy grain soaks inwards toward a night time state 
Can you believe the temperature the amounts they talk of
Pushing in further swimming through the weeks like weeds
Skimming over time side stepping a week to get from the beginning (now too far back) to the end (which is now revealing itself in a mist)

String them together hang it all up
Have an egg beat out the wasted energy
Cope on rubber petrol oil gas electricity
The density of your ‘soul’ got to keep it pure somehow
Something stirring now like a hare that shoots up from nowhere and races of across the shingle
We saw it that time, but did we really recognise its portent, its folkloric significance in that
Eerie context among the marrow grass and the sea wort
The lonely lighthouse silently rotting on the peninsular redundant
Out of place like a spent candle on a crumbling cake it waits for extinction
Like the fuse for the bombs they test nearby once
An idea is alight then 
The chain of events has almost already happened
To begin again the loop continues
The train arrives and departs at once 
Then you know you live in ‘forever’ space.
