HONEY ROASTED

& i do this here in the mornings
log in / clock in / report for duty
& trawl my notes
& my mind
& my memories 

& hiccupping intention

& the stumbling dance is on
in this early buffet 

of whimsy & effort

& needy blim of creation

till the washing machine
sings its electric finishing tune
& i get into the cheap cuts

of the buffering day
sliced thin but honey roasted

STEPPENWOLF ON MY MIND

& 

the things become other things

once you clocked in

& neck deep

in the balls 

of the ruined net curtains

its mad max 

& steppenwolf

on my mind

ANXIETY 101

the door bell
was a fire alarm

& the phone ring
made me sick

clock in was
faustian intense

& shop queues
brought cold sweat

all public food
wanted back out

& streetside
lit up my spine

night mine to hide in
but night not always kind

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
