Quadrillion births
Each 24
Revolution of

Earth
Round
Sun.

Teeming life

Death.
Decay.
Teeming life.

And swirling
Trillions of years
Of stars
Of swirling

Boundless time.

Perhaps at last

Get over myself

Leaf pushes,
Bursts
Through
Fingertip-

Sun
Bending close
Whispers
Spring

As bee bumbles
Into shell-like
Ear,
Petalled.

Rooted to the
Spot
Awe-sruck

Once again
The fearful
Tremulous
Hum

Keep
Angular
Geology

Schists

In shards

A sad

But opened

Cave.

Memory

A mere
Million years

This pebble
Will be
Everywhere.

Yesterday
Mountain

Tomorrow
Cave.

Mud on feet
Anywhere trod

Some stupid footprint

For
Science
Or
God

Stone upon

Stone.

Castle.

Drop the past.

Rubble.

Daisies in the
Lawn

Do not lay daisies
At the roots of

Daisies cut cruelly
By a gardening scythe.

Daisies do what
Daisies do

Seed grow and
Daisie die

Lovely crater

Your sweet cordite
Smell.

Yang war
Seed of peace

Peace and love
Nurturing
Nurturing
War.

And here we are
All in all

All against all

A naked embrace
Of drooling
Fools

In a deep soil
Microbrial work

Mining holes
Tunnelling
Tunnelling

All churning
Turning

******* in
Wet
Dripping
Sky

Anger boundless,
Boundless as sky

Boundless as love
Or infinity.

Not scared to die
How scared to ****
May boundless anger
Be

Hemingway hit 60

Shotgun muzzle-
Brain gone.

My muzzle-
No shotgun-

Carry on-
Carry on
__

You are different.

So what

Roots in crevice

Half way up-

Down-

A cliff edge
Clinging tree

Isolate-

Some seed spilt bird
Dropped me here.

One day-
Perhaps-

A wandering poet
Slips-

Falls and grabs
Windblown trunk.

Now-
You
Poet-

Learn to

Climb

As geese
In chevron
Flow through
Sky

Let me be
In each moment
In each beat of wings

And depart

Without a trace

Each prayer distorts
The aether,

Swells a spirit song
To breathe within
Some unknown ear.

Better then, silence

Or better yet that
Whisper for
The overthrow

Of grim causality

Long life-
Spume as of
Surf-

Spirit fuming
To air

Become
(Invisible).

No death-
Just disappearance
Beneath a blue surge,
Modernity

Cracked glacier

Rift in ocean floor

Yes we parted

When?

Who knew the drift

Apart

Would grind

Aeons

And bleed

Hearts dry

Of tiny dinosaurs
Perch on
Feathered treetop.

Pen,
Fossilised,
Struggles to record

Silhouette against
A
Colorless
Essex
Sky

Encased in bone
Dome-

Rarest hour of
Human tremor
Cracks the
Skull.

Egged on-

A fluttering
Feel

Sliver moon

Rib of earth

Strolling
In woods
Naming trees-

No latin; for
Half-forgotten
Lovers,
Friends,

Nights on the town-

Then spit them out,
Foolish blossoms,
Dessicated leavings.

Seasonal centuries
Curl into
Themselves-

Expire gently
I to a whispered
Breeze

In quiet reflection
Pond kissing
Cloud-scudding sky-

Young frog
Wondering
At the fuss

Flicks tongue.

Goodbye

Slow

Fly

Wearing
Socks,
Boots

To destruction

One foot
Before
One foot after
Before

Turn left
Or right
Beyond the
Gateless
Gate
And walk
And trust
The feet to
Go
Just where
You ought
To.........

The day time collapsed
Between my toes

I picked it out
With horned nails
And rolled a ball
To flick.

Time you slime
And mess big nose,
Inhibit breath.

You work for me,
Time

I shall not bow
You advocate of death

I spit on space
And defy the
Lack of power in
My.........

Show

Show

Show these
Gelatinous globes

A glory of colour

Of form

Show

Show

Let them feast
In the face of
Dark
And bathe the
Hole in the sole
With strength

To walk

To walk

To see

Before and
Until

The gifts

Wither.

Unpicked grapes
Upon the vine

One life

Ten thousand heavens

Ten thousand hells

What now!

What now?

I spoke to robin on the tree

He did sing

But not to me

So sad

In silt from melted
Ice age laid

Young molluscs
And single cells
Wait until

Today

Sudden bubbles
Surface on

Discoursed
River

Perhaps I stood too long
By the wall,
Trellis diamond printing my back.

As tendrils wound
Around the feet,
Began to love ankle
And knee,

All members and organs
Beribonned-

Face greened
Blackened and
Yellowed bee
Stung features

Grow and swell
Until

At last baldness burst
Into sun

And flower.

Oh!
Prise this spine
From mortared wall
And watch as
Petals

Soar...

Sleepy eyes, Bear
Sleepy eyes,

Sniff the nest,
Winter warm and
Furred

Den and stretch,
Sniff slowly
Spring growth...

Sleepy Bear open
One sticky eye-
Sleepy eye
Unden...

Hungry one shake,

Scratch and rise,
Open sleepy eyes...

Emerge to

Feed

It happened-

Only our eyes

In eternal dark-
See

Only these ears
Hears

Flesh feels

Tongue tastes

And ***** inane
Sound back into
Void.

Only you and i
Feel

Eternal space-time-

The rest
Dark speed
Stretching
Moving
Burning
Collapsing.

Only Connect

If only
You
i
Can
Somehow
With
Some
Other


Sentience


Connect...

What new lights
Are flying  now
From deep dark-

And will one spark
From afar-

Open these sleepy
Eyes

Aboard a plank
Light revolves
Above steady
Pulsing waves

Lighting the way
Steadily pulsing,
In tune with
Distant stars.

In time, waving
Not drowning,
Lamp glows on
Faces pressed against
Berained glass bridge.

Starlight billion year travelled

Loving the steady
Pulse and poles

Of brave light
Offshore

Magnetic pole
Switch

Woman man
Switch

And in the midst
Of change

(Just change
Just change)

I am

?

And as soon
As it came-

It went

She sat
Upon my knee

And branded me

Carp iced under pond
Stare folorn with
Milky eyes-

Suspended-

Waiting on
Warming dawn of

Spring

I tickled frog
Beneath the chin

(Grrrdip, Grrrdip)

A little pulse
Belying stillness-

Patient tongue
Awaiting prey.

Threw pebble into
Ancient pond-
(What arrogance
What folly)

And echo bounced
From solid state,
The stone before bang

From the empty
Gourd of his
Emptied mind.

Come, friendly frog-

Jump in

(end of the world)

Billions of crystals
Shone in
Streetlamp.

Milky Way
Fallen to
Earth,

In universal implosion
Black scattered to
White

"Without trace,
Leaving only ash

Good-night rice-paper
Person.

Little damage done
To earth-

To infinite space...

No trace, like
Flying geese
Through time.

(Love)"

Is the way you go

The way you go

Is yours.

Canopy and
Undergrowth

Tabernacle
Of freedom

Leaf litter and
My feet

Lulling the soul
To soul to sleep.

Iam the compost
Man

Buried warm within
The heap

Lizard eggs
Come-
Go-

If it hatch
Ok-
It hatch

If it go-
Go-

If taken by some
Predatory bird

So?
So?

Come look as little
Lizards grow-
Grow

Come, come-

Go, go-

My little
Lizard

Words

Under water
Poetic straw
Breathing

Bladder full
Arise
Cursing age

Your laughter
****** of clear
Water over
Pebbles

Do not meddle
In the middle of
The muddle
In the east

Between the bells
Appalled

Between the bells
Marking time

Between the chimes
Of birth
Between the chine

I lie

Dead
Dead
Alive

Between the tinkling
Alarming
Strokes
Of brass
And lime

Smile came

Cornered

Lost

Followed by

Lady

Followed by

Lost
Lost
Lost

In smile

Little crystal
From on high,
Atmospheric;

Icycling down
To ground and
Fluffing the land,

One yellow crocus
Brave above light
White.

Then to compact
Hard,
Thus to ice
Slipping unsuitable shoes

And slushing,
Dissolving

Feeding drains-

The miracle and metamorphoses of

Water

Missing the warmth
Of woman

Bed half empty
Half dead

How close you approach,
Moon-

How blue
How blood red.

Within the love
Of living heart
(Pump pump pump)

How close-

How far far


Away
