 WAIT ANOTHER HOUR

 

behind schedule 

the clock ticks over the horizon

 

you can barely walk

 

Taken by wonder

across an Atlantic of fear

 

Not knowing or trying to know

 

About being in the world today

 

Transported by muses thrown

 

Time travelling mucus muscle at night on the

 

Nuclear thrust of brand-new pain

 

The tooth’s ache 

 

Skiing memory lines

 

Carving a heavy weft 

 

Like glassy foot prints

 

God’s light, the light of the Gods’.

 

Slipping into something like memory praxis

 

The overwhelming passions of high cholesterol 

 

Sorcery flower dump cat glance askance sly 

 

Controlling whiskery street profits

 

Taste the bitter due sap over toxic coffee conversation

 

When is man woman or woman man when does it conflict 

 

With what you thought of Robocop when he says

 

His name at the end all suited up in under armour but 

 

The pulled back machinations of the face give that game away

 

burn parallax prisms towards bends in weaponry backwards on itself

        spin the gun fancy amigo style and blow your own face off

 By accident.

 

Don’t respect the honey suckle party black out. Crushed lichen under foot squeezing juice from individual membranes that cannot be coerced however  fruitful cost effect etc it may etc be.

 

Don’t react.

 FORCE THE TOOTH

 

Erudite of a fashion. Sleeves worn collar up or down. Isolated wing flex slow car door compacted reformation memory twist. What swells and will swell comes forward when individual matter makes stale most division static.

Imperceptible yet frenzied account for full wash meeting points divergent nature categorical failure yet imperative nasal whizz. 

 

Attention vehicle turning left.

 

Off-line impiety tracking backwards opening up the warp and weft of it. Scored hundreds by un-design picking up then tracing back; always chasing the main chance. As distinct from the unavailable or closed for now. Try again later. Sports field fire better downwards colour ways proceed to meeting point. Hold it up to the light now hieratic heirloom shadow casting succulent inlet. 

 

Down chains

worn faces 

swipe in and out

your time in total

was in giving it away.

 

If you wanna get into it you gotta get out of it

 

Sports refit muscarine drizzle over hot toffee terrine. Muscle over pesto pasta distraught mission corn flight mistrustful of green revenge. Wash out the blood mouth distant boring drilling into the heart of what? Coaxial levers bent throating out ominous white crested daily birds. 

 

The psychedelic episode comes with don’t force it the man who slept to death. Unable to move thinking got to mow the lawn got to…. Unload the washing machine and then the revelation you can do this you’ve got this clawed up to do it yeah it’s possible, no wait read some Roy Fisher stop write it up no wait stop read another thing something new you can. All the while time slipping away the schedule the belief the making it the discordant sounds circular fascinating all leading away from.

 

The washing. The grass. The day. Your blood.

 UNEMPLOYABLE

 

Light bathed in sweat

 

cut cancel or cure? Each rich conspiracy sits in meltwater.

 

And then when the noise rises up to greet us it’s already all over.

 

waiting for a new poetry to arrive an opportune moment

 

to commence yoga. Lonely blood vessels make shift ornery drift shoot

 

bloody ankle fuser a.k.a The Distance Man.

             

                 Cop three lines on a stolen photograph.

Clash of poor recordings dialogue manhandled Dictaphone clicking feedback

              arclight  fathom        dust quest distilled each one on the shelf

              quiet

gift consumption consumed after they died of consumption

    pleurisy a gift gas re-emitted after the emittance

stolen chomping movements food about the mouth falling

         gross like goblets cone beacons fresh bacon beckons

willing it so      

willing.              It so.

 

And we want them to turn around at the end and say,

 

“No, that wasn’t it at all.”

 

After all.

 BANK HOLIDAY

 

Time slows 


A veil of insolvent ash dissolves 

 

the Skull 


driven to a pathetic trickle

 

Feel Hot 

breath 

bread winner 

 encircled halo

 

You are not the 


                                      castle is on your left

what you should be

 

 

Brackish waters


Communal houses

 

Adder ruins

water run off

 

over hardcore mounds

 

smashed 

 

 

Swollen thoughts

 

mutagens 

stepping 

 out rheumatic reflex 

relief

 lager party

 

 

Just add lager

 

         Branded life

Balloon lipped 



take owl out

 

fast 

The nails of small talk

going slow

 

Tipsy on the promenade


 tattle 

Infantilised 

                            Nothing is hard 

everything is easy

 nation of babies

 

barbecued piss up

 

 

Nothing

Slipping 

into nothingness

 

Two cones and 


a displacement of botanicals

 


 life limps on

 

"The carpark is full 

of foreigners"

Heraldry in sandwiches

 

Soaked doorway slaked with fat

 

 home 

 

This Pissy island 

 

 sun blind pitch up

Breaded cod

on the bus



 

Somebody open a window please

DISASTERS, WITH EGGS (A MERGER)

 

time drips epoxy resin 

 

revelations uncanny                             

                                                    black horses, wild on the ridge

 

 

here before                                            chair collapses

 

we've been here before 

 

mostly we sat in our rooms.                         frantic skylark       knotted manes

 

Anglo-Saxon settlement

                                                  memory is invoked by manure

 

the kids watched TV 

 

furtive past crawled out to meet present                      tadpole dancing in puddles

 

                contorted

memory moved into place

                                                             family cells

carving up the vacant field

 

out behind the cabin

                                                           we stake a claim

 

 

nothing here apart from the birds                       oak 

furrowed time

 

 

also the smells

in this way we gouged a life.

 ASDA ARE HIRING

 

Little robin red breast

Children dance the static truth of rhyme

Watch the words come up 

then

watch them go.

message in a bottle not good enough

salt flakes in between the keys 

one brick another mouth is wet 

it won’t stand a chance 

cosmic reverberations echo 

down the line

always at fault 

today is the unaffordability of life

 

COLLAGEN CULT

 

small pockets of attraction distil attention strongly towards a bend in the road

Without what

first seen in a dream ’87 no lines of communication could alter or deny this destiny

Gothic forest

assumptions based on nothing formulate a skewed world view

Cloth bound

frail at first not learning but curving outwards on an open flat

Your choice

lapping eyes frank marvel manufactured by themselves not owning nothing

Pretend to exist

horribly rusted mornings fast selling parataxis wish we were home

Skiving machines

blasting the scum alleyways alive to the Earth beat

Deluxe hell

the world mouth opens and closes

Your name 

shocked ballast discord fording beef stack

Grim bears

lemon suit going nowhere song

Gravel pick

mute basement logic turmoil halt

Sorghum hearts 

mormon satchel grab swing past character task

Change climate

gravity swing on glacial starch moraine lifeless assuming follow guard

Red house

lift life gravity mass oblong desultory cock-of-the-rock

Brine markets

distaff you know particle repose flat angst

Change colour

special see-thru outmoded corpuscle

Tense reflect

innkeeper beekeeper crowkeeper zookeeper peacekeeper

Yes mind

polyphonic jest spree now leaning sniggle

Round bend

divest nice hot bath supine palm fronds dividends of time’s welcoming heart shake.
