GARDEN HOGAKU

time is measured in pets
&
tower fans
&
discount thermals
&
lengthening children

& in the stolen propagule
thats a fir tree now

& theres a strange cat up there
in a nest of dead needles

waiting on birds
& dreaming

SOUND FILE VOL 2

 

i take to bed

with well read text

& read & dream & dose myself

to mad dream sleep

electric scooter

buzz-whizzes punctual laps

in the 

futurescape

streetside 

evening

~

& 

the signs i find

in the dreaming

fade on wakings

afternoon

half-lit

gloom

the cats noises are ambiguous 

& my breath 

slow as sleep

conflicts his 

feral / tame

dichotomy concerns

BOOZE SONATA VOL2 THE DREAMING

 

&
in the bars
in the Dreaming
im ok there
&
can drink without fearing
darks sad blinkers appearing
&
taking me down & disappearing
into the carpets industrial weft


~


i punch at the jukebox there
gold for my heart
my heart is so full

someone
uncollapsed
my star


~


my gibber is verbose
&
i am accelerated mercury

i am erudite araldite
&
night bus cosy

i wish
i was
a guitar
