It's hard to glean
the word from here,
the crusted, rust-bowl weeks
have leaked their symptomatic vinegars
beseiged
by mordant noise, I find
my third-eye blurred and cacified,
uncinematic soul dethroned
by visitors and voices
Trick of choice, a sickled caper
April born and paper-thin
a frisk of whiskered hokum
to the living..
Considering that all I am
arrived as lions - left like lambs
The Marches of this life, broke
unforgiving

Passing by the protest
I often hear the shout
" Free, Free Palestine!"
but never
" Hamas Out"

Vigorous crow
sat in sleeks and crackling curt
as we below, rewire,
re-learn
a cackling spurt of love and envy
energised, again, refined
an upturned eggcup of an eyed
desire
Icarus glow
your wings have cloned
a spring-rise from tomorrow
first to know
our laddered sun comes
climbing from the mire

All is passing
dark-round scent
a loathe to live so
unfulfilled and needing.
--something--
cooling, soft
on evening came,
a song-less millpond gaze
appraised the nothungness of doing.
from long-abandoned plans
we watch
with growing understanding
it was never meant
to be....

There is difference
to yester
Air comes taller, northed
in orphaned blackberry
straggled bitters
mottled harvest, left
by knowing keepers, feed
an early winter bird.
Tree corpus seen,
dismissed of voice,
this August-esperanto hushed,
their missives to a scumbled sun
seem purposeless endeavour,
The measured path
has quickened step
and I forget the pleasures met
that stumbled through a furied heart
away between the weather

In these unified states
amazing fade-ins
A made-in Britain, Baileys bottle
subtle winter rattle, shaking
daydream from the poles
Scolded by the errant claim
that bold St George, is cross-eyed
lame and taking to the sherry...
Old Merry England!
- maybe-
That cherished land
that took my hand
That loved me
and forgave me

Now your greening
leans too far
wearisome and uniform
both sprite and spark
of this years teeming brew
true full crown
a stable reign
of routine couth
unwanted
your sovereign highs
of ****** cobalt
burn the iris blue

Early bird
and barely held
emerging blur
stir coffee lines in irises
of ibis billed regret
divide me
Unexpected
great white egrets
underlit and unicorn
on secret morning movements
A prudency of ivy hides
the singer - not the song
a backing track of blackcap
warming, calling down
the early sun, as if
to walk beside me

Seeing all
becoming
distant
Feeling time
giving, taking
seperating harmlessly
not longing for the velvet nothing.
Something
parsimonious
embittering
the marly glow
an antiquated
melancholy
speaks a name
I know

What it is
is neither love nor hate,
collated tattered spirit
scaped a folly
of indifference
-a brave-face disingenuous-
and all to keep it safe
spread the weight
about the skeleton
re-christened it acceptance,
... enchanted
by this eloquence
I lollop on my way..
