BEAKED, A SUPERMARKET FRAGPOP

the

practically padded oldsters
are

trapped treading water

in 

their beaked daughters

me-me-me 

talkshouts of nowt

~

& i imagine them 

wringing their aging hands

all their mdf lives

in the wretched wash

of her whitewater do-be-do

ONE TRICK PONY PREVIEW #3\3 GUEST POST BY URBAN KISSES

 In some future moment 

 an unexpected gift may arise from 

 the madness  

 a phoenix  

 rising from the silt  

 like the broken and lost treasure  

 that lays itself bare on the foreshore 

 of the river 

 in the wash  


 ~ 


 Or maybe we will look back  

 see this as our turning point  

 and recognise that it was here  

 that the tide of love we had  

 simply ebbed away  

 stranding us 

SICK NOTE MORNING

the day pulls itself together
like 
a 
monster up on its hind legs
for the first time

it
disguises itself 
  as
  an
  emergency
  and
  gets
  irritably ignored

but
the cats claws on my eyelids
force
my
meat pile and delicate skeleton 
into 
the 
kitchen cold
  where
  i
  watch
  him eat 
  on
  his simple kitchen floor world

  i 
  ponder breakfast
  but
  shower
  instead
  and 
wash the nights clinging anxiety
  
  away

  again
