• STATUECRUMBLR

  Took a trip to Bath as part of my masonic passage My patron lends his patronage, boosting me up the ranks I’m rushing like tanks over sandbags, across no man’s land Toward my thirty third degree, wiser man than me  Decreed this the age of adulthood, when all childhood flees Freed of youth, the form…

• Glued to the deluding mirror

  I suppose we all cast the Hercules role for ourselves In our proposed most audacious, rose-lit fantasies of the past First to last and last to first, life’s process: the removal of blessings Tides changing and fits and starts and droughts and bursts Hurts and blurted loves, haloed doves and rages like rockets Comets hurtling,…

• Memories provoked by promptness of carriage

• Shedding my shell

  I am crying now but I choke back tears, there is nothing so queer  As shedding salt for what was through my own inaction not got What is for you perhaps never passes you by But I have watched so many things going by, and in such hurry That they became blurry in my sight,…

• Inheridance

  Uranus didn’t like his kids, passed that onto Saturn Fathers give sons unwanted boons; cruel cosmic pattern. Life is a spear, long hard and kills you Life is a short walk to the graveyard you’ll go to Life ceaseless self-crewing cruise Life palimpsest of successive bruise Life endearing mystery, quest for goldsouled alchemy Life like…
