Petitioning beast-shrouded Gods for money, lots, and revenges: locusts on crops, boils on asses that ride horses a lot, firstborn sons in cots rotting.
For revenge I call upon Gods from foreign lands Far across Egypt’s sands They cannot be commanded Carefully handled; bell, book, and candle They must be gladdened, one cannot demand Should one, one cannot imagine their wrath Tooth, hook, crooked look Gods of misluck, of ruinous biteforce, of Temple smashing Merciless and casual, gut slashing,…

Our Lady of the Bog
Twilight heightened Stars as chitinous eyes Dinosaur-laced striations, Corn Kings have died Beneath skies Titan-sized since the moist crowning of infant Time Brooding fenlands oozing bog stink Ancient lingerings, away from all the hinderances Me alone in the flaying wind, walking the course of these leys Tiger eye colour of everything Dun and rangerly, dangerously…

SBUR
Always carry a heater Makes things easier These days, likely to get heated A more spiky version of Athena Sometimes, I’ll walk into a meeting bleeding Wincing and leaning, it pools, steaming, until I’m leaving In a sauna on the lower east side and, as kids say, I’m eating Hot in here this evening so…

Ringfort, inner wall
A place in stasis, where time is stalled Ancient mazes, and trunk-thick walls Even the drunkest thick applauds Offering plaudits to ancestors, whose ancient Gods Were of field and forest, bring hods to the old bog Bring the nippleless king, seeking the sog; all this and more I saw At the Hillfort in Rathgall The…

Spells designed to enter and return from Hell
Casting the runes I’m always the last left standing in the room With my satchel, gathering rudiments from shattered tombs Descending through porous roofs into the amorphous dark stonewomb I lick at moist fronds, I knew where they grew Scattering the bones Ruining the roads all leading to Rome Bleeding, bleeding poems Razorlips teasing out…
