Thoughts
and the pursuit
of escape
and
exploration
interchanged
can prove
a drain..

with..
glimpses,, of promise

(the fridge buzzes)

Her!
and.. her wily
ways
and him
and them
the catastrophe of company
eclipsed
by (the) fear
of loneliness....

seeps


(the fridge still BUZZES..)


Thoughts - and
the taste
of another
... drag
another
... sip

Another mighty Giant

promises
that needn't
be made
by their nature
they exist
- - Already


Time and
time
Again

expect nothing


And be pleased . . .

The Corner

I am
Sat in the
same bar I
sat in three years
ago - only it's
not the same bar
only - the same
location
Nothing stay's the same
and I like to think
I find it sad
in this case
Although the stranglers
don't make it easy
I hear chatter
I exhale
And I finish
listening to the song.
It..
is like breaking surf
and
changing seasons
constellations
glowing on
the ceiling
of a childs room
while a monster
breathes
in the closet
like
a soft kiss
that
wasn't intended
to affect you
like
warm beer
as a savior
and beans
out the tin
while you sit
on a crate
and
the night forgets
you exist
It grows
and
it swells
and
It changes..

Black rubber/ White paint

Lost and found
soul compartment
Phillistines and lovers
others too
well ironed
sensible hair
Authoratarian
contrast to
mis-match
They will
call the van
for someone else
soon surely
Not me
Not today
and relief is clouded
by
dissapointment

of course

@

Scrunch the eyes
lips
nose
and chin
together
feel
the ridges
around
eye sockets
wonder
or
try to -
Where has it gone?
and
what was it?

just.. kicking sand
fooling
no
one
and
fooling
everyone
right here
in
here

Hungry

2011

Calm as
can be
it is..
and
I am

pissing

people

off

Implovi..z

It's an experiment
I was so angry
get out
Of
THE
WAY!!
stuffing my fucking
ears
How dare you!
Get out of The WAY..
polluted breath
hysterical
Jerkin knee
pointing the/a way
guzzle me
guzzle
This game is
not for me
light up
pass it this way
pass my way
vomit erectus
It's an experiment
I talk
to my cock
when it
doesn't
work
And she...
bathes with crystal
in a cold sea
and I
imagine
my painting
of it all.
It's an experiment
a gas
blast
Holy war in here..
Right this way
if you
please

5 hours later

I feel
soft sadness
think
of her
I hear
gentle
viola
think
of her
Crows in
damp air
caw
everything
wet
water down here
water up there
water down lower
I've been
thinking
about her
sitting
out here
in
cool air
sitting with time
touching
her skin
in my mind.
