360 spin kick, head off like a twist cap
Peeling cap when my gat’s gums flap
Painting the ceiling, puce strains spurt upward like lapwings
Your skull collapsing Roman Empire, last of mind lapsing
My elastic band snaps, steel slaps like a Diaz
Pulling out a Fisher King at Cripple Creek, denippled king quick to bog jog
Claps like the acting was good, hiding my face beneath a hood; mechanic
Word heard on multiple worlds, I’m kickstarting interplanetary panic
I’m a dab hand, more charm than bracelet
Born, my placenta a fit plenipotentiary
Whistling past cemeteries, things get hairy might be there early.
Her curly hair hides an earring
She wears teal, veal how she dear to me and ginger
At my approach baulks, steels, ten peels since ten
Send me something sincere to lessen my sentence
All I wanted was few words from you, God forgive you
You abusive cruel, you who, like I’m saying hello from behind,
Are the enemy planting mines behind enemy lines, shell glides
Like the seashell seller got picked up by a spinning tornado
Like Eugene I’m OK though, I know Aikido and Hapkido.
I’m the fifth Beatle lost in strawberry fields
My unfeeling steel peels back a man’s rind and measure
Killing fields of needed bleeding nature’s wheel greasing
One yet living crawls, wheezing, dust all days since Eden
A stuttering globe day or night does not know
The ploughman knows not when to sew
The husbandman in November foaling
Dusk of day glowing mistrustful, like a dawn in succour, truss
Dusty sloping bluffs to nothing, below which worldroots grow
I brandish my steel, teeth revealing
Like a gum receding, it slides from its sheath
Sleek ironswan unflappable, dappled
Weird apple in the night-trampled lastlight
A single slash smites sapling which was, dust to dust
Rust-coloured blood musters like remnant of shattered host
Whose burnt boats, ashed old votives, leave them with nowhere to go.
Alchemisland
