if i had a horse i’d call it peony
a foal white, raised sand by sea
far from spur and saddle
then i’d let her go free
beauty walks down by the water
whilst flowers wilt at her door

if i had a boat i'd call it gently
why?
to sail it so

the rock
spinning silent in space
listen to lovely water's flow
let go

should have heard it then
when she said bite me on a bed of roses
since we smoked it, all around her is this grey boring mess
looking through creases
towards the hills and far away
the sun sets behind hunched shoulders
over greener grass she casts shadows
they follow while one leg lifts on the fence
we turn smiling hope
it jumped behind a tree to giggle
when there's horned wire between us
she'll make that suckling face
of a twisted child
oh exhale, we shame the twister
read the essays, they conclude
we see more than the bruised, bullied blisters
we see inheritances bled on innocence
hot potatoes passed along
sweetness i’m strong and hands of hammered iron
your chef, poet, music painter
lye back, love maker
twirling issues while herbs dry on my mothers table
childhood nudges play ball
the sun wafts in a cool breeze like heaven
while salt cures white rose petals

let me down then
spinning
raged, spitting
red
see my face seldom smile
can you hear my teeth grind whilst you take mine?
my image of a village
the one u paint a smoking city
**** off whilst i sleep, weep
for my sodden hopes
exclude, remove
do not talk to me
sweet teenage attitude

what you sayin
'how you feelin, healthy?'
reluctantly
i now dote a burnt black box
lost & loose, it rattles
cry on my altar
for a scarlet word’s fate is worse
librate, I alone
stout battle
smoke chasers
the roaring drums beat
and mute marvel me
how’s your schedule sugar
are you busy?
is your skin still the softest clean that seldom sin?
are your arms still the warmest home i ever lived in
did i hurt you,
does it ring
cause **** I’m always feeling sorry
forever turning beds
pillows stuffed with plastic worries
red tears on a swollen head
i hid fists in love letters
i snapped bridges that we'd crossed together
but then she's trust and talking
and I’m sorry from mister mystery

a beautiful singing bird
playing above the trees
drifts like a cloud
and plays love like a teen
this one's made of dimples and lifts home
cuddles in the cold and the soft fuzz on her skin
an idol conversation in the dark
a filter for the stark
there it flies
up from the tree
aim
BANG once again is shot
dead to me
dead to ****** me
me who buried traps of fists
little lies on the path ahead
me who’s now he instead
BANG there she goes
I’m on the trigger all night
any flutter by the nest in my head
is another caracas hung in the shed
im a predator
i shut them out
and BANG
lock the door
idol eyes slip to her name
we’ll change it
now an X in there
make it easy
for my burning brain
but then its pictures of sinking tug boats
stiff socks
empty cold spots
legs snapping
arm locks
to the funnest person i knew
your story’s told now
shew!

clemence your stone ideals
see words are metaphors
for chaos of metal ores
acquit bad thoughts
screen printed in reverse onto your t shirt
and sewn deep in the back
of this boudoir manifesto
you so love to show
three’s no magic number
magic’s a metaphor too
for awe
and misunderstanding, idiot
two is triumph
two is love
it blesses you with magic
there’s something real about you
not just a dart of light
across a funk of meat
in that tempered embrace
you’re more than a flicker in cosmic heat
one is monologue
one person talking
pretending they listen
self affirming
ending every story,
the quiet avenger
dreamers be careful
relax a bit
you can only ever hate yourself
don’t eat your own ****

I’ve been eyeing the door all week
retreating to meditations
of peeling new potatoes
growing my hair out in lisbon
working hard at a sink
where no body knows me
in the evenings we could smile in the heat
eat cheap fish
toast homemade port with unfamiliar ladies
lye in harder beds
on softer ground
run

now strip all the streams of her
paint her face from the walls
delete the digital shards
of the omission professed, inept
the moaning tease of love
stops
and now it begins
the hoarding of art
the roaring wells of smoke
designated paintings
gungey pink words
a gun fires deep in the woods
and out limps a lover’s touch
strip all the streams of her
board every wandering tunnel
delete the digital shards
of our shattered growing up
