Sleeping
Impenetrable fortress of sleep Portcullis of shuttered eye graffitied Sight subjective the experience exclusive The inner lid the lid of night, planets ricocheting off it whispering of collisional fertilisation The dark everywhere is that which I do not or cannot see, that which I am not presently experiencing or otherwise aware thereof My closing eyes…

Mouth
I’ve got a monstrous mouth I eat an orange the pip’s squeak Modern Great Expectations, Pip squeezed into the back seat Sometimes, the dentist flat out won’t see me. There is where I shovel food My gnashers recalling eggshell dominoes Cupboard mouth that sculpts my pooh: Which upon cummies forms the O Which weaveth wonder…

Séance 1930
Eager come the recent dead Still naive enough to covet warmth Hearing the living, I am living and this nightmare can end The harsh, stout corpselight; the dead mothing in. Blowing on ashes Bottled nothingness, the nothing is lured into the nothing The mind at war with the mind which is not the mind From…

Dark America
Vast complex of American misadventure Stairwell lined with tall portraits Depicting naked terrorists reposed like ill-used catamites Forming uncomfortable pyramids of their flesh Two quid flash of disposable camera post-torture Pyramid walls bloody with mishandling. Wars, rumours thereof A desert stormed is a desert reformed Boots recycling dunes, new kingdoms rising The wake of old…

HornedGod
Cernunnos who peels the season’s rind Leads through moss maze the willing blind The compact keeps the windroots tight, the binding blight and the glade green light The light hours are a forest night That Might, what God might be, to dim what’s bright Hart and hind, to my heart, the stag of the stage…

Sobriety
You’re on Sovember, scotchonrockstober the shock of sober can leave man over Like a turnover I’m dark at bits. “€1.70 love, and a bag is it?” flyover white cliffs Dover The Sea of Rome in Ostia, the Holy See the suffering earth the rebounding surf that slurps The bay, the gulls cascade to the cast…

Love’s Conclusion
Bromides for Brunhilda, her Sigurd serpent summoned The land is divided like a fair share pie, the music died wrote Don McClean Submerging for unworthy causes, the waves break on and off the hump of H.L. Hunley All the drakes are loosed, Sigurd through the magic mist, Sigurd land of Honah Lee Ennead of lake…

Chewtonic
Join the army I can’t hear Universal Soldier make a necklace of my ear Johnny get your gun, the shootings not done Descending a long hall, the sticky sweat of fear In it for the long haul, designed by Albert Speer Sitting in what was your office, sitting in what is your coffin On your…
