Flying dragon
Launches-

Arch predator on the
Miniscule

Not so much
Morphing

As
Sagging-

Tick-tock

One more year
On the clock

Higgledy piggledy
Hither and yon

Feeding and
Nesting and
Breeding and
Gone

Higgledy piggledy
Hither and yon

Dropping on blanket
And picnic
Undone

Will say the same
Of me and worse.

Cascading evil down
Generations

Tsunami of
Dysfunction.

Let it stop with you
Jack.

Break free.

Sorry.

Make not your
Work
Of fluff
Nor lint...

Make with hammer
Chisel

Ring vibrations
Ringing ears

Bells of wonder
Bloodied knuckles

Carving granite
Upholding earth

Bellow blowing
Moondust surface

Soothing marble to
Graven show

Swimming
No

Treading
Yes

Above
Tornadoed

Deep dark hole

Unusually
Below

Wine-Dark-Sea

Turbulent
Blackcurrant

Cur­rent-which way

To
Go-

Kick or slow?

Snowdrop

Petal

Insignificant

Pretty

Gone

Have returned

Nested

Calling discordant
A squabbling couple-

Nested in apartments
No eggs amongst
The elderly

No chick to raise and
Teach to scavenge.

The chimney-*** gulls-
Paired
Young
Alive
Nested
And flying-

As terrestrials may not-

From death.

Rheumy eyed-
World unfresh

But still small
Daisies brave the
Cutter's edge.

Long slow
Pendulous swing

From boredom to
Anxiety
As Winter Springs.

This year's alchemy-
Leaden skies
Turn Gold

Cartons

Bottles

And
Happy

Loneliness

My ears are tired

It is your
Absence

That

Foolishly

Leads our
Yearning for

Your Presence

If the dark
Dark night

Of your soul
Soul

  Ends at dawn
Dawn
  Dawn

Rejoice
  Rejoice...

If not

  Not

I hear
Your cries

O how I miss
The cheesy moon

Before we spotted
Your lovely face
With boots

And lit your
Terrible darkness.

Dearest sphere I
Feel now even
Older than thou...

Drooping form of
Lovely yellows

We know you die
And rot.

And reform-

Your sweetened corms

Re-arrange and
Flourish

How long

How long to
Delight the eye

Deform and redirect
Life force

From basalt
Salt

To opened skies?

My love grows
With your opening
And dies
In time

And dies
Together

And alone
In time

The lace wings
Of the
Lacewing
Are real
Lace

Wings.

This cash
Is not

It's ok

A plant pushed
A new leaf
Today-

Love despair
And love
And despair

I look forward to
The annihilation
Of my species.

Not too late?

In the end
Nothing

In the
Mind

Before
Beginning

Welcome to
Mike

The stars
In billions

Eternity

Bottled oceans
Easy

But

Hair

Eye

Movement
Of woman-

No idea

Even
The Robin song
Distorts
Chill air

Subtle whorl
Of ear

Hearing only
Disturbing
Air

Worm cast
Whorls

Denote a
Subtle
Decomposition of
The long,

Now living,

Dead

Time we lost
Looking past

Don't look

Don't try

Eyes are backward

Future lies

Don't look hard

Don't try

Fly flies
Breathing
Dragon
Fire

As water boatman
Rows on water

Surface

Tension

Dented mirror pond-

Invertebrate
Knowledge-
Innate

And experience of
The fisher-

Patient on grass bank-

Slow
Accumulation
Of failures
And habits
Injurious to health
Of self-
Of others.

King of fishers
Blue metallic green
Dive
Spear below-

Relaxed minnow makes
Fertilized willow.

Heron stalks
Slow
Patient-

Frog-splash-

Old pond implodes

The spine
Brittled
Fired watered
Flexible
Floppy
And
Strong

This spine

So straitened

Bent
Tumbling over

This childlike
Trampolining
Body

Flexible brittle broken
Borne above gravity

The spine stiffening
This will
So long

Tracing the maze
Of navel skin
When

BANG

Thrown billions of
Light years out
Up down round and
Round

Lost count at ten billion

Face scorched by fire
Back frozen by ice

Sick from planetary spin
Wanting to break free
Of same old
Ellipse

Become
Not asteroid obviously

Perhaps a comet
With orange tail
Trailing from my
****.

Tedium of Universal
Entropy-

Turn inside
Out
For different

Dimensions

When did this beard grow
Old?

So silvery white,
Tousled and tangled.

A young boy plays
Behind it

Tumbling forward
And back,

Jolly Jack Tar
Frolicked by sea

Nobody heard

Who was it

That fell in the woods?

Salvador died 30 years today

84 then

How old now?

The clock is melting...

Comes love

Cockroach
Beneaththe bat

Make energy
Fertility and
So cane to cavern cycle

To the wine cellar
Crave

Don't remember me.

Dust in your eyes

Phphew

Swirl and gone

I do
Every day with
Five
Or six
Senses-

You do
Now-

For the rest-

Who knows?

This rock
Handled
Pulsing
Alive?

My little
Alien
Friends

This small
Quartzite
Pule is
Universal

Love

After the third
Solar system

I began to wonder
If a one-way ticket
Was wise.

You see one star
Close
You see them all-

Set foot on distant
Planets

And not a hot girl
In sight.

"Computer, turn around"

Does not compute is the
Reply.

And so
On we go

To infinity

Borne into this
World

By the will of
Others

I have wandered
Alone

Bewildered by the
Ways

Of man

Gone away

Mike

Under water-
Poetic straw
Barely breathing-

Our words entangle
Like lovers

But not limbs-

Crystal love
Ice in tumbler,
Libation.

Goddess Poetry-
Anoint her head with oil

Bless our poor efforts with

Eloquence

Do not fret
Over
Scribbles on paper

It is only
Madness leaving
The mind

Through the pen.

Mom met dad

Disastrous confluence.

Thanks for the introduction
To misery

And a dying planet

I love you?

These words

Gone

Wisp of smoke

With your own breath

Bringing dead language

To life.

Speak
Speak
Speak

The language
Stolen
Suppressed

The colonial
The PC
And
The new Puritan.

Speak I say
And write-

Miracle can
Does
Happen

With breath

Hedgehogged-
Rolled in a ball-

Soft spines over
Curled yellow belly.

No car to
Splat!

No car
Safe as can be

OR

Picking like birds
Beneath
Picnic tables

OR

Splayed!

Like some flying
Squirrel

Flying past
Hubble mirror

Looking to face
The belly of
Being

Every pore + infinity-
Fleas
Dancing along
The spine

Seeing

Who am I?

And,
My darling humans-
Who are you?

The god
Of the poppies
Is dead.

Cares not
They lie
Beneath sun,

Star studded sky.

Scythe
Disinterested

You and
"
Dead

The dancing girls
Happy in their
Lithe movements

Ecstatic in their
Power

And I, forlorn
See them no more,

Their gossamer veils
Blown clear by
Autumnal winds

New eyes
Round

Cry
Baby
Cry

And when I die


Goodnight

Life and death
Copulate.

This is human
Born of mud.

Fungal fundament
Of earth.

Little flower

Do not forget

Of water is beget

Sky

Drab morning
Bruised sky

Desert girl
Blacked out
Head to toe

Drops of bitter
Rain soak
Deserted clothing

As she

Cries behind
The veil

A lone manifest
Ideal
Lost at sea.

This the end
Movement of the listed-

Freedom is
Freedom from only-

Freedom to only
Chaos.


That day you told
"Watch your step"

(I had tripped)

My answered
'Ha!'

Rang a bell before
Time
