COSY WARM IN DEFIANCE DESPITE IT




using your legally entitled
'help & assistance'
of the benefits system uk

is like a cold hug
from a creepy uncle
that chills
your wet bones numb

but who might you hope

hand you a folded ten
greasy strings attached
out from his cardigans
ratty detritus pockets

so you might you hope

attempt an almost life
tethered & dependent
to his fickle windsock
with grey workshed twine

cosy warm in defiance despite it

EDIT FOR A FILM




DRY MACHINE

its dry
inside
the
machine

chipping at the sentences
that chip at me

outside
outside
outside
is a hacked dreamscape

of
sanctioned
fantasy
franchise



THUNDERDOME

a thunderdome
of
meat puppets

wave
product 
placement

edited for a film

anyone
have
a
golden gun these days ?

or a starburst guitar ?



DESERT STRINGS

i
find
a
white piano

in a desert
hotel bar

stretch out
in a 
corner seat

almost 8 years
i think
8 years

replaying 
the 
strange days & strange ways

waiting on the emotive drama
of
a string arrangement at dawn

THE DAMN SWALLOWED KEY OF THE MIND



mind
wont
let
days go easy

worries at them 

like a halfmoon hangnail

pork in teeth again

~

mind
pointlessly reruns 
pointless scenes
pointlessly

like pointless dvd extras
on the pointless second disc

~

mind
musters a half-arsed critique

mind
scrapes drying red marker 

across
      the
         meat
             calendar
of
  forever
         and
            never

mind
makes notes
mind
interlopes

~

interlopes
deep
into
the
nights nowhere strings

deep goes mind and i

looking for the escapology loam

and that damn
childhood
swallowed key
