Alchemisland

In family way after rolling in grass with a classy soldier from Galway

Needled in a haystack, crack packed with man wax

Wiping hay off each other’s backs, tells her he’s recalled to action

Cleopatra and Marc Antony before Actium, affection in anguish

Branding each other with elegant irons, defiant despite fate’s impliancy

Tossing fresh babes like fleshmade flashbang grenades over wall-ways.

---

Removing dirty boots at the doorway

Stowaway travelling a stone’s throw away

Lightning trining, writing truthful

Ruleless lord of misrule ruthless and rueful

Rufous odalisque riding into Babylon on a donkey

Zealots chuck down palm fronds

Acclamation of bonds.

Booted like a computer on these solpadenes

Lucre enough to last a million futures

I’m considered an economic fixture

Where’s the loo, got molly to do

Driving unlucky green, James Dean speed

My name written on the clouds for a moment

In golden filagree, fleetingly seen

Wisped wrist liquid whispers, blanched ink drips

Automobile crypt, flipped and kicked me from existence’s servers

My burnt lips upcurled, smoke furling upward like a grizzly barrel fire

Up over the lip of the curb, enthusiasm bluntly curbed

No cure for this, first responders disturbed

Me in the drivers seat having death procured

Like a cured ham tad overdone, burnt black

Thought my finale was just the overture

Filling up bread and hors d’oeuvre before main course is served

Swerved, bit it, fit for the dirt, bin it

Binge drinking, steering wheel spinning

Rampant criminal crash into the liminal

Car’s on its roof, down under, wheel still spinning

Pinioned by oblivion, singed hair stinking.

Born tomb of August, 1992

70 years since Jazz dropped, Skynet about to pop off

Nine month sojourn maternal ziggurat, primordial paddling pool

Born a cigarette, genetically carcinogenic

Talking making waves, Johnny Carson on a jetski

I’m like Sora, I wield the key

I will endure it, I’m willing me.
