SINCE THE VOICES I HEARD

my 
passenger seat 
blue moonface
dead gazes at
the time-slip ebay clocks 
ticking ticking ticking
relentless & showing

how
long
its
been
since the voices i heard
over my shoulder
when we were hanging
gaming & green blowing

were
meatworld
here

raw nerve slaying
burr edge dulling

our
bad run
warm rum 
delirium

good enough 
for the hearts 
that dont weep
to see the seaside

rolling death tv
on the 
beach cafe
flatscreen

& brown froth coming in
on the plastic tide

ALL CLEAR AND POST

behind the glass
a woman in leather
runs from
alien and believable gods

move she says to herself move
she must answer the ringing phone
all our lives depend on it

this side of the glass
my unopened post sits there 
like a wrapped gift
would
sit
there - blunt and solid
with something of the mistake about it

( i had been compulsive and unthinking
  i was like hank 
  behind the glass 
  shot
  and 
  recovering
  buying minerals in bed from ebay
  in the night time tv gloop and glow )

the packages - they are like paper rocks 
strange samples on the kitchen tablecloth

a weird geology they demand attention

there could be ANYTHING inside couldnt there ?
and ignoring my knowledge
i 
savour
this 
manufactured mystery
for  l o n g  moments
sipping coffee number one

and the time ran then
it steamrolled over cold fear and the wired dread 
of these 
          falling / failing
                            faux
                              empire
                                 days
and over noons stagnation 
and all its attendant nothings
and i heard a tactile tick tock
and i felt a small vroooom
like a machine had started up
behind the days flat scenery
and the nameless Effort
    the orphan Art
    i
    had
squeezed out  bled out
forced and coaxed out

    ( the writingslob emitted curdle again )

    well now it Shone Easily - had no Hard Questions

and the day felt like a day then
an easy marker  a nice place
instead of another unsane blur
where only the edges make sense
like
crisp green leaves eaten into skeletons
by the long gone beasts of dawn

and when the cat steps up onto the bed
it is with a perfect sense of things

and shadows pass by the window
like of course they can and should

shadows of harmless other people
doing harmless other people things

and 
i 
feel
like
i
won an award - i can hear doves too
their repeating coo
like an All Clear siren today

the woman behind the glass
picks up the ringing phone

and she knows theres no rainbow 
you can see it in her eyes

and 
her
outstretched hand on the callbox window
is
a flat No  a spread Stop
in 
defiance

at circumstance 
at authoritarian retaliation
at
the
big
black
truck
running
her down . . .

A HAIKU

HOSPITAL MORNING

the cleaner bitches loudly 
says her team cant start 
someone is in a load of trouble tomorrow 
just wait till i get my hands on him 
where are the hell did he put those keys 
ignoring her phone ringing 
barges out for a fag 
saying can't be doing with this

men in green from the council 
cut the tree up 
fell on the emergency generator five days ago 
got the other willow to deal with 
leaning at a dangerous angle over the gas store

by the mental health block 
decontamination trailer rumbles 
men in all in one white suits 
mill about with fire crews 
while blue lights flash

ambulance driver gets red faced 
tells a lorry driver not to park here 
its a blue light entrance only 
lorry driver mumbles 
ignores him 
kicking parcels round his van swearing

surgeon roars rath 
cos the stylets are too short 
why aren't there any of the longer stylets 
he cant work like this 
the woman at fault is now flying to majorca 
everyone is walking on egg shells

tv news crew quizzes chief exec 
failing trust and preventable deaths 
shes saying she cant speak for before her time 
lots of changes have been made 
shes proud of how everyone has all pulled together

the hub declares we are on red alert

i
put
the kettle on
and
browse ebay 
chewing gum
