And as
Each area of grass
Becomes clear-

Each leaf cut and
Carried to the nest-

I interfere and poke
With a stick the
Stacks and

Out spill the
Myriad ants
In orange

Or black

Each arched
With egg
And

Marching in
Columns to set up-
Once again

A home for Queen-
Soldiers patrolling
And castles of

Sand arising-

Falling...

Awake or asleep

Alive or no

No matter

Together

In love

We glow

Beyond the apocalypse

A mere rip

In time

Forgiveness-

1
When mike the monk

Meets the hairy
Black hole-

Quantum
Information

Leaping

Into new forms

Of life-

2
When the ashes
Have settled

On the
Residue

Of **** sapiens-

What will emerge

From
Or
Into
The darkness

1
I did not **** them
But let them die

Because their roots
Offended you

2
Spring this year was
Daffodil bright and
Iris blue

3
Blood shows clear
On snow
White-

She lies in
Ruins

Now

Do not constrain

Our

English

With strait-
Jacketed
Rules

No-

She shall burst
Through
Or wriggle free-

Shred the padded
Walls and
Rubbelize the cells

English
Our English

Ever shall be
Free...

Striving for greatness
Or

Better

The still
Small
Voice
Whispering

Heart heart heart

Addled
Scrambled

Need to be
Coddled

O woman

Unravel
Your egg

Perfect
Embryonic
Shell-

The word
That emerged

From bottomed

Time

1
Open well
Rounded
Stones
Water-worn
And mossed-

Light lichen
Grazing
Top touch
Stone-

Stone
And water
And air

Open like
Spinal
Column

Ganglion
Connection

Through which
Pass all
Sensations

Necessities of
Air
Water
Growth
And stone-

2
Well and
Open to
All
Sensation

And necessary
Breath
Of life

Through
Bodies rigid
With fear
With joy
Withal
Emotion
Travail

Travelling
Through ether
Escape
The mortal

Soul

Livid
Live

Breathing
Stone
Air-moss-lichen
Water

­Well alive

Chesterfield ancient

Overstuffed coarse

Horse-haired.

Full of books

Memory bursting

Seams of poor

Old elephant

Hiding in

Plain sight.

Enough of
Wearying
Eyes

Watered and
Salted.

Write it out
Poor old man

Or split your
Sides

Cherry flower



Falls-

Leaves
Grieve and
Grow

Somehow

The last fuel

A bonfire of
Inanities-

An egg cracks

Loud as thunder-

Phoenix

Still - born

Pointing the prow
Out to sea

Away
Out of sight

Of the estuary.

New adventure
On high sea

You, the dog
And me.

From deepest
Hibernation
Rise

Phantomic
Images-

A street of
Ceaseless hum

A poesy of
Fallen petals-

This is work
Beyond words

Where silence
Snows

And everlasting
Freedom

Roams,
Bandaged and
Balmed against
The light that
Blisters
And fails.

Even so,
Love seems real

One

Crack in old
Factory wall-

Brave daisy

Two

Crack in a wall

Brave daisy
Brave daisy

Three

Crack in mortar
Old wall-

Daisy colony

Four

Old crack in
Factory wall-

Daisy lucky

Five

Daisy-daisy

Cling to crack
In old factory

Wall

Petrified
Forests
Embedding
Under
Sea-

Sea
Creatures
Surmounting­
Peaks-

Slowly,
World
Turning
Upside-
Down

If you read me
You need know
Nothing.

Only read
And finish
This...

The best poets explore

Pulling sled-loads
Of knowledge and
Eating it all
To survive

Leaving only a
Single brown mark
At the southern pole
Of language-

In infinite white

Disappearing

Cat sat
On ledge,
How clever.

Dog eyed,
Laying on floor.

How they regard
One,
The other,

With cautious,
Sharing,

Love.


Domestic,

Blissful,

Unaware,

Human­s dote,

Eat biscuits.

Cup rim contains

Flat tea-


Through window pane
Moon shaft

Reflects and

Dapples the ceiling
Matt and flat.


How shimmering light
From afar

Illumines the leaf
Plucked from

Mountain shrub
Far away

To refresh the

Flat wet
Emptiness

Of mind

O to ****** a phrase
From the plethora!

To catch a likeness
Of truth,
Verbally hooked-

To free
This
One
Instant

A tangle
Of sticky

Silk

Not yet dry enough

For weaving into

Beauty.

(Silken cravat
Soothes my craggy
Poet
Neck)

Outside
The world lies

Broken-

Minds trammelled,
Books ablaze.

Only here
Cozy nest

Sanity
Warm caress

And a happiness
Now

This word

Already

Dated


Soon

Incomprehensible

To all

Teeming mass of humanity

Ember glow

Lifted to cold

Darkness

Mere million years

And gone

Water supporting

Clouds forming


             Drift

Action seeking flesh

Pulling together

Two bodies

___Cleaning

Lifetime lost
Or stolen-

Clearing out choices

Taking back time

____Manifest

Making now

In image

Known
And
Owned

To ritualise the fog

That in mercy

Lifts

To reveal the lit
Globe burning
Life-

Proof

That mind

Is fog

And flaming hydrogen


And one

To collect the chips

Of marble

That made David real.

That sacrifice-

Proof-

Matter is consciousness

Manifest

With lock-picks

Of love

We

Broke through

Time

Some
Do it
Right

Even

Die
On time


Some

Fail

Nothing
Matters

So much

To worry

If you

Are love

Or the lonely

Dolorosa

I shall not fashion

Molten steel to

Fix lone phrase

In seabed.

Though made of
Solid sod

An airy humus
Spirals

On thermals

To kiss

An orange

Sun

Live in a cave
In high
Himalyas-

Put your machines
In a bag

And drop them

Down a
Responsible
Ravine--

After a time
Hear the gentle

****** and
Smash

Of the genocidal
Genes

Created by
We

1.
Came swimming

Caught in torrent

Clutching fur of
Fuzzy
Brown bear

To the lee of
Turbulence and

Letting go

With gratitude-

Take your cubs
And liberate the
Salmon

As i crawl
Ashore.


2.
What difference
How
The river is crossed?

What fig-leaf rectitude
Required to
Survive?

Of existence

Nobody without spirit
(What - no
Volition?)

Molecules hum
With
Spherical dance

Stone so alive

Syncretic syncopation

Holistic fear and
Ec-stasis

Flowers of
Laceration

Unmoving

Nor moved

By the great

Swirling mass

Of events.

Still
In the Centre

Of life
Of death.

Actions
Given
And performed

(Reluctant heroes
Arise)

And all
In pursuit

Of

Nought

And

So
                    Perhaps
Some day

Sun

Bored

Will draw a veil

And sit

                              Hidden
                                              Embroidering

Some
Sunny
Moon

Leaf Curl




True Color




Fall

Sheep do not Scratch
The Tup,
Painful Birth,
Brief Spring of Frolic
In Lush Grass,
Nor butchers Knife.

Precious Poets,
We Bleat and Baah
Our Small Woes,
Big Loves,
Insights and Dust.

Such small Season
And Gone Gone Gone

Dark gone

All gone

Go on...

High mountain

Body
Transparent

Shimmering
Leaf-like

Veined-

Dancin­g thru
Ether-

Windblown ice,

Beyond heat
And cold

Dancing thru
Ethereal
Soul

Gables up
Point
Ancient.

Where god(s)
In heaven(s)
May reside

Without freedom
To roam.

How to trammel

And restrict

The power

The awesome

Power of All

Now that ink

Chlorophyll

Has leached through
Leaf-

True colour may
Emerge,

Take up
Breeze,

Seek

Incorporation
Into earth.

Soft forest
Floor

Grow slow

Hardened peat

Unto diamonds
Heaped
Into golden
Dugout-

Canoed to
Freedom

I was a butterfly

Flew into a flower

Not a butterfly

Today

If anything is possible

It is

Now now

Now

Sleight scrape
Snail
Over broken glass.

Power of bulb

Spring dropping snow

Some Japanese print

Your frame
Somewhat bent into
the wind

Umbrella ****** and
Rained

Wind

Take away these
Memories

Future beckons

Rocking yellow daffodils

I blew the conch

The Angels descended

They had no choice


When we need

The Angels

They must descend


Thank them
