• A peek in at my quiet peak

  Went from in the zone To dipping my toe to crashlanding, again, Without so much as a “Sorry” note. What I’m writing’s better than ever before, exploratory, new forms, And making more than two performing rabbits, Who adore each other and are extremely attracted like opposing magnets, During a storm stuck indoors. It’s all going…

• So many bongs it feels like someone is squeezing my shoulders, and I’m perpetually stuck with the feeling that someone’s about to arrive.

  I kept saying to myself, by way of justification, As if to say, in the long view, as God sees it: This is a phase Period concludes it like dying when you’re 12 This’ll end naturally, like the Planet Surely dopesmoking, getting high’ll, get boring, I’ll find something else Nothing specific, nothing formally planned, but…

• Blitz Blitz Blitz

  Steel screaming reaping reavers like terrifying pteradactyls Spear’s tip, provisions at the rear fortifying each taken inch, sight unreal Bends yet at British steel; years more we can take! say they, no mayday No surrender, go hell for leather, rusted squares on metal stretchers Long stretches of blasted city All scree, choking debris, cleft masonry…

• Craft

  I – Old But Recent Craft I make pollicitations to cunning bards past, Place of old poets thy Parnassian pasts immortal Your past-prime virtues now victuals to vexers who make you victims of gaunt learning or love-chagrinning solar sojourns. In dissecting I seek to neither venerate nor eviscerate, My lancet taps ichor and flowing essential…

• Two poets arguing metre
