THIS IS NOT A POEM




i have had a scene looping 
in my mind for a year

words are not the appropriate 
medium for its expression

what did seem appropriate tho
was to start drawing it 
with my eyes shut 

this facilitated its channelling
if youll excuse such terms 

after opening my eyes 
i inked in the bits that worked
& coloured it in pencil 

i think its finished
it probably is finished

NEW GHOSTS



too much 
kool aid about
&
too many 
different coloured pills
in
this 
godmaxxing griftosphere

to me it all looks like
2 AM kebabs for the mind

im going to stick 
with coffee & codeine
& sicknote zen 

i need that & more
much much more
if im to cope with
the new ghosts
fools done made
to run the everyday machines

3 x GARDEN SNACKLINGS




the fire pit 

is brimming with 

summer trimmings & 

honey & rust

& bramble thorns

~

i see the sky
in the samsung black

& a bird on a tv wire

~

like it always does
the grass has recovered

fat & chartreuse 
rangy & butterscotch

& the robin singing

& CORACLES & COCA COLA CAPS & CRAB & KRAKEN & COD





up in the
 nature 
of the landfill reserve
the thames only seems 
a lofted fingertip away

& i think about
how the water 
is 
touching ALL the beaches 
crumbling cliffs & seas*

i stand in landlubbed awe
& sane in my fear 
as i feel 
the unbelievable mass of water 

  WATER 

pull me like a moon
