SUCH IMMENSE PRESENCE

immediately 

as 

i wake in bed

theres led zeppelin
playing in my head

the soundtrack maybe

to my last lost dream

~

hangman hangman

swingin on the gallows pole

~

its 

  easy to forget
that 

  music is  i n v i s i b l e
cos 

  it has such immense presence

DIAMOND MINE 1

every
breath
was
an
act
of
faith . . . then

           Science 
           Named 
           The 
           Invisible

so heaven - 

why not 
    why not 
        why not ?

all
fingers 
crossed
here

in the fracking dust
on the shopping berm
all of us blind
in the
diamond mine

MONDAYS DROPPINGS

PRODUCTION

on the toilet
i am a man farm
making shit
for
no 
roses


AND EXTRACTION

and 
after 
it
is 
all
over
there is space

inviting reflection inside


THEN REFLECTION

real animals
shit on their boundary
eat something
destroy something
bloody their claws
and
fall into sleep
untroubled
on the worlds dirt

i am good for the first three

maybe
four


WHICH IS EXHAUSTING

as giant 
as a yawn 
and twice 
as needy
i sit 
on a folding chair

witness to the daily soft parade

histories headstones
and dead bouquets 
in
my
bag


SO I REST

i
am
mostly invisible

inside a kind of gas
and a £4 charity cloak

and
the
smell
of
fresh turned soil

SKULLBONE STRAIGHTJACKET

SKULLBONE

we go mad
in our own tree
mad in our own
skullbone straightjacket

mostly invisibly 
of course

googling trepanation
on the sly 



ARGUING TREE

and arguing
with the voices
and the faces 
in the bark
and the knots
we become exasperated
looted and lost

still we jump down
in time for tea
and roll out
our useless recycling
on a thursday night

only now
maybe we have kept 
an old bird nest
maybe on our head
maybe as a hat
as a reminder
and protection



WHAT WAS SAID

noeliberalism

and disaster capitalism

the tree said

are trapped gas . . .

best play jazz to the wind
to the leaves
to the wood and water

everything
is
upside
down
out there 

and kept that way
by amazon opec and viacom

dont look 
but pray for the youth

the tree said

that they 
might be
builders
