The view from Olympus
Is partially obscured

By cloud, wispy
And sad against
The elongated Drought-

But I see Them-
Kicking up dust-

Thrusting their tiny
Toothpicks
Pointed and tipped

With rust
Or blood.

The horses blink
Through Armour

Longing for the Plain...

Aegean glinting-
Shrunken by
Lack
Of Rain

Cracked glacier

Rift in ocean floor

Yes we parted

When?

Who knew the drift

Apart

Would grind

Aeons

And bleed

Hearts dry

Eden

Knew

Bald and proud

The god
Of the poppies
Is dead.

Cares not
They lie
Beneath sun,

Star studded sky.

Scythe
Disinterested

You and
"
Dead

1
Snout-
Soft earth hardening
To frost-

Sharp claws
Deft holes

Pouted cheeks
Puff chromosomal
Seed

And cover.

2
When
Where
Random but

Here stands
Forest

Forgotten by
Overfed
Rodents.

3
Trillion pin
*****
Galaxy lights.

4
What
Legacy

May glow

Beyond
Infinity.

5
Here
Now

It is all

Freely from
Me

To you

Last leaves swept
Pile

Years heaped

Wan smile

Arises

Evaporate like

Dew

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.........

Outside galaxies
Staggering sun
To sun

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

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

My poor old chords
Have withered and
Dried

No progression
Of singing

No siring

To cry

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)

Merest hum

Particle-

Uni-multi
Versicle

All one
All one
All one.........

And when

That summer
Leaf

Do open

How can you not
Lick
That leathery
Offering

We all find our own
Rocky road to hell.

Some unspool thread
Or scatter bread-
Crumbs

To sustain the way home.

For some it is beatrice
Angelically swaying

For me it Lady J

Patiently waiting

Blades  of grass

We die

Be happy

Today

Striving for greatness
Or

Better

The still
Small
Voice
Whispering

Heart heart heart

Immovable seat

Earth revolves

Around mind

each word hangs on
it's own rope


how to help them
intertwine
to lift from dank jungle floor

climb through the canopy

show monkey eyes the
wood amongst the trees

Smile came

Cornered

Lost

Followed by

Lady

Followed by

Lost
Lost
Lost

In smile

Walls you built
Hurt too many times
Walls between your
Eyes
Lapis lazuli

And mine.

Brown skinned girl
Blue eyed
Take up your veil
And shake mine eye

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

The last fuel

A bonfire of
Inanities-

An egg cracks

Loud as thunder-

Phoenix

Still - born

Light of sun
How small am i?

Infinite space with
Small objects.

Very little chance
For voyager to crash.

So little chance for
Mike to meet

The woman

Time we lost
Looking past

Don't look

Don't try

Eyes are backward

Future lies

Don't look hard

Don't try

Murmur of prayer

Heard

Where?

Single crocus

Hello

Heart leap

How how how


Have I loved you

How

So much

How to know

She wants to dance

He wants to fight

Strange scent
Of orchid
Clinging
Like death
To bark.

Shoe soles
Melt into
Mud

****** of crows caw
And claw memorial at Westcliff prom

The Heroes
Mostly dead or
Dismembered

Whisper why on
Atlantic wind
West and why
Why

Heavily courting
Pigeon ****
Puffed up green
Nodding a dance.

Hens peck and posture
Disinterest.

But so many pigeons,
Hens lie

Weeds grow all around

Hair sprouts
Ears nose

All but shiny pate

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

White paint finish
On Georgian stucco
Over red-brick.

Bomb falls at night

Dawn breaks
Tiny flecks Twinkle

Like stars

You shook
Something loose

(Red blood-
Heart
That was dead
White

Pumping again)


You

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 ***

Am I not allowed
To love
Once more?

Am I not allowed to feel
Remonstrance strong?

Yes love knows
No bounds and with my love
I honour thee

J

If you read me
You need know
Nothing.

Only read
And finish
This...

Howling outside your

Window

There is nothing

In the way

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

Saw you-

Molten stuff from
The navel of the world-

Never cooled to earth-

Bubbled desire
Moulded to a sigh

Quaking your surface
Only to subside.

May your fluid state
Persist unstabled
As the end of day

Breathes orange

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

For the briefest hour
You caught my breath-

My dioxide moistened
Your eyes
Soothing.

For a small moment
Hurly Burly
Slowed-

A headlong rush
To oblivion

Became a Jaunt

Grandmother
Grandfather

Dead

Dead

Dead

Without taking
A single bowl-

Spoon by spoon

Little by
Little

The big ***

Empties
