HORRIBLE KNOT

 

we have made 

a horrible knot 

of it all

its

many loose ends
obscured

in
the 

unravelling tapestry of the land

SEPARATED MONSTERS

outside you know ?
& i look around
but theres nothing
is there ?

just me / you
& a bundle jag 
of bereaved thoughts
a black pack horse
of orphan obsessions

~

but
looking
again

mashed mind billowed & blown

i see the orchestrated grain
in the hip hop timbers
&
i see the tick tock flux
of the seasonal percussion

in this roofless storeroom
of all the lost & found

~

& feather balls fall . . .
but land !
landings old hat
they flew !

accelerator metabolisms
pecking up a two-step
breakfast buffet

round
me / us

the separated monsters . . .

~

separated monsters
with shoes off once a year
attempting membership
with moribund muscle memory
& 
the bleached shadow
of an 
ancient ancient ancient
forgotten
expired
loyalty

DUM-DUM SPACE

  crawling 
  in 
  the 
  dum-dum space 
between the always sky
and
the nowhere land
the everyday paints stains 
on my 
hand-me-down clothes
like
camo

THE FUTURE DREAMING

this 
temporary land
under 
temporary sky
of
adaptable truth
and
old gods new anger
is
a dream the future had
after
mescaline
and
cheese

TRYING TO EXPLAIN THE SCALE OF THE EXPANSE

on the ocean world
in the isolated kingdom of sea
cameras catch whales warring
in
the deep blue forever

soft zeppelins strange appointment 
in the wet universe
says
man is tiny

a
whale
drowns a calf 
big as a lorry
hundreds of miles from mans small land
