O mother moon

Moving away
Away
So
Slowly-

Clutching at skirts

Spinning
Falling

Against your huge
Horizon-

Tiny height-
Thumbnail sketch
Phased-

Cartoon of cosmic time

Reflected for the

Ignorant

Not for us the
Neatened rows

Flower and hive.

Between windy seed
And errant sunshine

Unconscious rainfall
And here, there,

Nooked and crannied,
Brave leaves may,

Uncultivated

Emerge

Trudging uphill-
Scent of wildflower
In rain.

Sniff of Truth-
Gone now.

Red berries
Edible-

Sufficient to life

Why?

Origin of life-

Tidal hole
Pulled by moon
Fed by sun

Collector of
Infinite grains from
Unimaged space

All our silly
Culture

Floats off into
Space

Old lion
Mangy mane,
Draped over thorny bough,
Eyelids flipping flies.

Esses bring down
Some poor horned
Soul.

Down climb and
Belly growl,
Take tender parts.

Too idle to branch,
Sleep on sandy floor
In lovely shade.

Smooth

Shining

Soft

Singing

Plop

Into

Here.

Smooth pebble
Talk to me

Tossed gently to
The centre-

Swallowed, gone
Ripples cry to shore

The caterpillar

Does not worry

Where the buttercly

Goes

How wonderful
When this language

Comes together,
Falls apart.

Happy coincidence
Of breaking walls

Of stone dissolving
With breath

Then when it comes
Let me depart
This dream
Dreaming-

Place the cold
Needle
Into the weakened
Arm
And allow the
Vessels to flow
Dreaming
Beyond-

No bags,
No hideous machines
No drooling in corners
Nor sleeping in ****.

Then,
When it comes
Allow the departure
From this sallow
Short being
Be dreaming a dream
Of no longer being

So insignificant
In the scheme
Of things-

Dot in an
Aerial photograph-

Icarus fall
As ignored-

And yet-

Nearest he got
To sun

Was a silly beach

The time I whispered
"Mascara on your cheek"

I knew I loved you.

You fished mirror, tissue
And fixed

And thanked with such
Sweet smile and

I knew you loved

Reflection in glass

He bestrode the world
Like a colossus

Unfortunately,
Volcanoe erupted
And singed his
Hairy *****

Yes
Fond remembrances,
As of war.

It was love,
It was,

And yet,
On reflection,

Goodbye to you
All

Goodbye
And fare thee
Well.

These grumbling bones

Still holding

Up

Sour cloud

One drop

Rain

Window

To follow that
Splash

Into the
Mirrored pond-

To follow the

Shallow frog

To freedom!

From this stripped down
Verse

Come all these
Wild
Untamed
Munificent flowerings.

Thus it is my love,
With patience
Of a gardener

Dost our love
Fecund
Become

And bloom

Shattered the
Glassy
Intellect

And conjoined

Once more

Universal flow

Of rain
+stars
+snow

+the strange
Movement of
Moons

And nebulae

+

God?

Go into space-

Where are

The

Boundaries?

Explosion of seed

Refugees blown high

And wide

To interbreed-

The race evolves
But
Beware the weeds

A damaged deer
Cowers in shrubbery

Camouflaged against
The curious.

Eyes moist
Nose twitching

Heart thumping
Fit to burst.

Little doe, how
Did you get here

Lost, like us all,
In suburb?

I was talking
To a flower-

She said

I am running
Out of time.

Forget time-

Shine forever

How do you know
So much

You family
Youyoung ones?

(A machette

Spilt asunder-
Branches

Bamboo folds)

All you were told

(Not lies,
Pretend protection)

How come

Little innocents,

We knew
So much?

At each day
Rising-
Setting
Sun-

Yes moving

But this
Spinning
Dizzy orb

Under some silly
Starzone

I no longer
Care

Which around which
Goes-

Just this
Small glass
Of ***

The deep dark
Earth

Mouth full
Of deep dark
Earth

I finally

Lonely

Learned
This red mouth

To speak

Of salt in ocean

Of sugar in tea

Of wheat in a
Deadbeat loaf
Going green.

Whta this means

Is nothing

Is only being

A grain
A universe

And happy

Where river ends

Sea begins-

Where sea
Become
Ocean...

All water

Only water

Any word
Simple
Misnomer

Unencumbered

By fear-

Thought.


Trees bend,

Expose the

Heartwood

She wants to dance

He wants to fight

Good

Knight


No

Delusion

** **! ** **!

Nobody
Fool fool
No

Body

At all at all

All good
All good

Outside forever

Is there any

Wanting

To be

Inside?

Hmmmmmmmm

Smallness of flowers
In grass

Butter
Cup
Daisy

Tears

No pleasure

Too little pain

Mediocre song

Take these poor words

And make them
Yours.

That gives me light-

A little longer
Life

Vines embrace
Trees
Stakes
Anything

Diverge
Intersect

Choices
Of lives
Joined

Teased apart

Love
Or
Dismissal

I carry them
Everywhere

These glasses


Tipped them when
We met

And when you were
Lost

O god

I nearly died

But thanks to empty glasses

I survive

I would tell you

That

I love you

You made

Your harp

I leapt from high

Cliff

Calling your name

Falling

Seabirds shriek
Above the swell

Calmer
Shoals
Bemoan the fate

Of  that fish
The other fish

Not fish eye
In the i of the crowd

Weeds grow all around

Hair sprouts
Ears nose

All but shiny pate

Anoint this empty head
With oil.

Mount the throne
And

Taking the crown

Love this polished
Pate

Burnished and unencumbered
By apeish hair.

Grass cannot grow on
Such a busy street.

Ghosts, hungry,
Eat my meat,

Guests drink my wine.

All the orgiastic stem
Dispels...

Morning mist,
Dyonisus,
Pan...

And the gods of
Mountain dwellers,

Knowing nothing

And bending in
Peculiar shapes.

This is what we do-

Contort to see



To somehow be seen-

To entwine

To dine

To feed the pretty worms

Envy the dead

The deep dark
Dirt

Silence

Ever since
Canary stopped
Singing.

No care if seed forms in the *****

If eggs cream the ******.

Envy the dead

Silent dead

And no
Care

Shaken branch,

Squirrel ****

Blossom overthrown

Grey squirrel fight
Pink petals scatter

Squirrel fight

Bough shake

Petal fall

Sun never
Stopping

Streaming out
And out
All ways.

How dark it is

Sun streaming
All around

All all

Around
