• House Hunt

  Counting up cash, need a house in the country Letting agent cunty, treating me like a rat Open day with bunting, couples a hundred Know that’s too many punters Feel like umphing his guts, break him up Humpty Dumpty Pull my punch and don’t bother with grumpy Want two hundred kay, you won’t spare twenty…

• Inner City Oldtime

  Our own tongue throat stranger And failing to nourish will or may perish We pause, wishing to answer betters in Irish Cannot know a lost language Vanishes, we answer in English Less than swill of which our Liffey consists. What is Irishness What is native wit? Slack jaws guffawing Slenting houses built from haunted bricks…

• Ripping down paper reality

  Nine lives won’t go nine miles when every stile subsists a new trial Different styles for different briars, Aristotlean modes keep me alive My smile more crocodile than the Nile, lipsticked by guile Checked the freezer for something to eat, lack’s surfeit Manifesting feed, fee taken, rune awakened wax surface Diadem and bracelet closely inspected prove…

• New jungles

  Machete in the busy sweaty wrist of a muscle-riven junglist Horse-hung statues riderless, unbridled Our guide won’t stop keeps chopping Frightful jungle corridor alive with raw stingers Dangers for those who linger Concourse of unseen watchers like a haunting, Amazons reborn Self-highting Brides of Spite crudely bedight with breast bared uncaringly If they ride down…

• Last left living

  I’ve got racks and bands racks and bands Livestrong bracelets outlive the land After the nukes land Whose hand shadowed the burgundy button Land sliding to inhuman climes Life cannot sustain, lung-raping acid rains It’s only cockroaches and plastic bands from Athenry to Atlanta Unmoving city full of noises, pie full of phantoms When do…
