SOUND FILE VOL 6

 

shower gel smell

& bbq smoke

summer / people are coming

the pavement holds on

to the days infra red

& neighbours 

  overlong 

  goodbye 

  shouting

  taints 

  my

  pre-dusk reverie 

~

smell of hot metal

oven been on for hours

that was sunday at nans

laughter & a chair short

clock chimes church bell tune

on the mantlepiece tile

for one hundred years

HABIT OF THE BILLS

the morning
RINGS 
with bells & birds

nights sweet undeath

r
e
d
u
c
e
d

to a
sepia wash

before you done your teeth

~

in bandit masks

calling gulls

attend 
the rag & bone man van

& crows
report homicides

too late

on
the
tv
spines

tickling the sky

round the cemeterys
bloodless
basin 

~

sacred pervs & empty reels
land sharks & electric meat

clock in 
freak out  

slow cooked
to collapse

in
the
habit
of the time thief bills

HOLLOW WHALES

lifetimes
spent
building

cold stone carcasses

control hq 101

~

insurance . . . just in case

timeshare 
for the dead

~

holy hollowed whales
dredged
from
the
sea
of
the
sky

wood benches
queue & face
a
bleeding likeness
of
nonviolent 
revolutionary

franchised

~

bells ring
high up
in the
neck bones

calling sundays 
desperate fiction
