Rotting away in a private space
Use went from sparing to daily Used get it mailed in Rip open the pack and rail it the second it came in. Coke and horse, my arm invaded The syringe impaling Like the razorhoned beaks of the venom-leaking birds of Stymphalia Heart slowly failing, in the palliative cupboard below the clothes railing. It wasn’t something…

Closing times
Gate locks eight o’clock so don’t be late rocking up to the venue No delay, remember who sent you, OK? Smoking crazy so room’s hazy, needs more grates Hotter than Hades, what’s above A rating? In trouble with creation Nothing goes my way I arrive just in time to see the Flying Scotsman leave the…

Sleeping in filth
Best and my mind is like the field the day after a festival Scenes of disarray and unrest Women in involuntary undress In use-stressed doorways Their visible garters drawing alarmed starts by early starters At cider-summoned rest In the portico near the portraits of those most sporting martyrs Chip-fattened corvids having hearters out west.

Black 47 47 47 47
The strained fabric keeping society chained started to undo The most lasting work of the first and final Artist fades then splits, unglued The printed page wilts, then decays. What does fun do that force couldn’t? Old and awkward cousins, estranged decades but mates in the manger The squawking crows recognised something was coming, fled…

B READY BREAD BRENNANS
Body fresh as a Brennan’s loaf Burnt off my prints ages ago And I wore a pair of driving gloves I’ve killed them in droves Shoved them into holes Some full fleshed, others ash But mostly bones Only I know where they’re stowed Ask me nicely I’ll let you know Take a left off any…
