*“Sleep after toil, port after stormy seas, Ease after war,
death after life does greatly please.”*
—Edmund Spense
|PART ONE|
CUL DE SAC
*Courtesy is informing
The gardener he shall not
Be needed next week
As sometime before then
You will fall suddenly dead*
Like a blanket...
Yes, like a blanket
Or a shawl if you’ll have it—
A sheet that whispers a weight
Upon your shoulders that rise and fall
And rise and roll and once more rise
And collapse inevitable as relapse or vice,
We arrived as the sun is
Saying its final goodnights
Life spends some empty
Second inside your lungs
And continues on its way, moving on
Perhaps to resuscitate a
Fading gunshot victim
Or shake the hand of a minute
As time ticks furiously by,
A dog licks its teeth
A few sorry times, tastes a residual piece
Of something tasty he earned
In his attempts to learn fully
To roll over,
He rolls over now and then for fun,
In the disapproving face of the sun
But it’s a different thing to roll
Over at the command of your Master—
He who is looking disapprovingly at the world,
Disapproves of all of it
But through a very small window
He had not seen before
About the size of an envelope
It must have sneaked up on him
Most of all he is bored,
With packets of cigarettes,
Lighting themselves each night in
Spectacular repeats bright and brilliant
Pyrotechnics of white-hot potential,
You must shield your eyes, Master,
Heed the warnings of the doctor when he says
You are doing yourself no favours,
Tempting yourself by leaving them
Laying around in plain sight
And...now and then, just now, and
Just then he finished a whole one,
Packet of twenty, and his reflection,
Unshaven and puffy-faced in the
Deep ocean of the bathroom mirror,
Can’t look at him until morning,
And morning is a long time away
Meanwhile time is
Blackening the dog’s sorry gums,
It painted such dark spots on his Master's lungs
That he now coughs impatiently,
The paint grips like superglue to
The walls and though a full exhale could
Betray their function for one,
Deform their shape for two,
Lungs so rarely tenderly embrace
And now his face goes blue,
And blue with many shades of blue,
And a touch of the colour of the just-rising moon
Nothing comes up...
His diaphragm, taut, it stalls,
Struck, retching,
Everything slows
Everything
slows
— stretches of sounds
And moans echoing
The sinister intent of
Turpentine visions.
Each bloodless
Indecision
You can see him doubled over
By the window, even from here,
And you’d think this bird will
Succeed in catching his worm,
Each slowed in turn, nothing changed,
Bird was swooping long before the slowness came,
Whatever happens, whatever happens...
The dog sleeps whilst his ticking legs kick,
But slower —
A fly is caught between
The unaffected forefinger and
Opportunist thumb
Of a young girl who is well known,
(She once squeezed a cat
So tight that its insides
Got all twisted and burst),
She would not hurt a fly though
Especially not this one
It’s so lethargic, she thinks,
How she blinks at normal speed—
Immune somehow
Other kids are told to keep away from her
By their respective mothers
Who’ve no respect for others
you’ll see them goose-stepping down
streets in stop-motion synchronicity
These mums communicate by phone
Hogging the lines and spitting malicious
Rumours into the telephone wires,
Such poison is said to excite cables
Causing electrical fires and the
Firemen here have been called out
several times to find the same boy
Of about ten, crying “Help! Pariah Dog!”
He’s shouting it now, calling the emergency
Services on a credit card phone
And his pennies won’t take
—So slow it’s hard to watch
The bow that fastens the little
Girl’s hair keeps falling down,
She kicks it down the sleepy evening streets,
Rumours cruelly spread of shadows
Calling her to where the street sweepers are known
Not ever to sweep
Everything is slow, as before but
Slightly more so,
The Master’s contractions
In such slow motion rhythm,
You couldn’t recognise patterns or
Repetitions with short-term memory
but they’re rhythms of threes and fours
but also nine over eight and
Four-four straight, the
Tempo is so slow it doesn’t register...
Listen closely for a while though:
Jazz is on the radio!
The dog’s legs still kick as it sleeps
As it dreams of jumping the garden gate,
Even slower now,
And life is longer now,
In ways
Of course we do not notice
But the little girl,
Returning home just before dark
How will this affect her future?
Time’s arrow
The tragedy of its trajectory
Leaves us in a state
That is not worse off,
But there is no help in this!
Positivity does not come
From the things which are simply
Not negative
And the worm
In a slow motion crawl,
Indignant, as the bird’s wings
Cast long finger-like shadows
That are shifting, flickering,
Twitching near crisis point,
Those last hundred-yards of the race
Where lactic-acid-spasms
Makes a mess of the atoms
And slow-twitch fibres made of
Matter once constituting
A percentage of the mass
Of a sabre-toothed tiger,
Cowering in the cold,
Feeling the pull of extinction
Weighted eyelids,
Mischievous hands tugging
On the ears
And polishing the fangs in museums
It was ashamed, the atoms told us this
But refused to declare a name for itself
Or the beast
Slinking and curling like a
Shoe sole that bunches up
The shoehorn is no good,
Not a help, but to borrow
Just one word of that line
And introduce the trumpet,
In its considerations of brass
And blues
It blows lipless fanfares for the
Invertebrate class
The worm, with frantic intent,
In search of his hole in the ground,
Profound effort,
See the slinky worm speeding
Across the lawn at the speed of a gravestone,
The bird getting closer,
In it’s time,
It’s a fizz of radio waves
With a fuzzy static outline,
Popping grains and throbbing like
Power surging through the telephone line,
Where voices can be heard warning of high pressure
With a fatalist sigh, and poor weather,
A voice with a regional accent
Sounding authoritative and wise
Intensity in the eyes somehow I imagine,
How we paint pictures of faces and people,
The voices are so telling at times,
You can hear whiskey-burns in the throat
Saying things of the colour
Of a nose, and sweet childlike lisps
Suggest dungarees and freckles,
And a gap between the front teeth,
Why these? What prejudices
Have slipped out weedily from
An imagination that is surely
Out-valued by its frame
Of gold with wooden panels
“PARIAH DOG!”.....

Bite Schoen, Fraulein !
Jouons avec les mots rébus
Nus et sincères.
Appelons une chatte une chatte
Et une bite une bite.
Mouillons et bandons
Suçons voluptueusement nos mots tabous
Jusqu'à la moelle
Appelons cul Luc
Et bite Tobie
Lâchons-nous
Sans laisse et sans harnais
Vive la bagatelle sans filet
Quand j'avance tu recules
Comment veux-tu comment veux-tu
Que je te culbute ?
Ou tu préfères encule
Soyons salaud féminin salope
Vicieuse masculin vicieux
Jouissons de toutes nos jutes
Buvons nos vins clairet
Et nos sirops typhon
Universels et panachés
Tu préfères à la cuillère ou directement au pis du mammifère ?
Jouissons, mignonne
Cochon cochonne
Allons voir si la rose
Qui ce matin avait éclose
N'a point perdu cette vesprée
Les plis de sa verge pourprée
Baisons Baisons
Qu'un sang impur arrose nos sillons.
Tu préfères zizi, anguille, oiseau ?
Moi je me présente quand même
Je m'appelle Orphie et si tu veux
Tu peux prononcer Orphée
Et toi ma chatte de lynx, ma pie qui chante,
Tu dis utérus comme si tu voulais me dire
Que tu es musicale et que je dois
Te prendre à la hussarde de ma clé d'ut
Ou ai-je mal compris, serait-ce ma clé de huit ?
Moi j'appelle ton repaire palourde,
Conque de lambi ou hortensia,
Zmeu, car tu te transformes quand tu veux
En nuage de cerfs-volants
Et tu m'emportes avec toi tourbillonneuse
Tourbillonneuse oui car tu réinventes la syntaxe et le lexique
Tourbillonneuse, adjectif qualificatif, féminin singulier
Dans le creux profond de tes dents acérées
Quand tu me suces j'oublie tout
J'oublie que tu t'appelles Eurydice
Et je jouis en Aura dans tous ses orifices
Ne sois pas vulgaire
Ne me dis pas je t'aime
Mais dis-moi chaque fois que ça te chatouille
J'ai envie de toi.
Ou baise-moi là tout de suite
Et tout de suite ne veut pas dire vite
C'est lentement que je veux t'administrer mon vit
A petites doses
Tu préfères devant ou derrière ?
En haut ou en bas ou côte à côte ?
A propos
Tu sais que lès ça veut dire à côté
Et que ça a la même racine latine que latéral ?
Lentement disais-je
Parcourons nos bréviaires
Et chantons nos poèmes lubriques
Et cantiques tantriques
Veux-tu que je te fouette de ma langue rose
Et que j'engloutisse de mes grosses lèvres tes petites lèvres
Fais couler ta liqueur que je m'en pourlèche
Suce-moi le sein
Je veux que mon aréole change de couleur
Et que mon mamelon devienne de la taille de mon dard.
J'aime quand tu dis ça
Tu dis fais moi ça
Ou j'aime ça, tu savoures
Et même dans un simple ça va chez toi
Je sens que tu es dans tous ses états.
Tu veux que je t'apaises et en même temps
Tu ne penses qu'à brûler de plus belle.
Et chaque fois que je renais des cendres de tes caresses
Tu as tes yeux d'anthropologue qui réclament encore le tout et les parties
Et je fais mine de me plaindre
Je te dis que tu es Insatiable
Mais déjà je bande Incurable
Car il suffit que tu me regardes
Avec ces yeux de chatte lynx de ces instants-là
Pour que je batte des cils.
Tu es caniculaire en permanence
Tu es humide et généreuse quand tu chantes
Je te prends, tu me prends par la barbichette
Le premier qui jouira
Aura une sucette
Et moi je tire la chevillette et la chevillette cherra
Car je sais que tu es mon ombre et que je suis la tienne
Nous nous fondons dans nos ombres respectives dans le miroir
Et c'est dans nos ombres que nous nous faisons tous ces câlins jouissifs
C'est à travers elles que nous montrons
Nos envies et désirs d'immortalité
A travers les petites morts répétées
Les petites extases quotidiennes
Des mots quels qu'il soient qui nous lient
En de petits cailloux sur la route qui mène aux neiges du parinirvana.
Alors pour résumer notre texte
Je commence par le titre,
A toi la dédicace et à moi la préface.
Préliminaires obligatoires.
Tu m''exposes les grandes lignes de notre mémoire
Et je procède à l'introduction et au développement.
A toi la thèse à moi l'antithèse ou vice et versa.
Avant de conclure par une virgule
Je récapitule et j'écris le mot faim
Et toi tu continues sur le même rythme
Car notre histoire n'a pas de fin,
Notre histoire est Insatiable et Immortelle.
Tu es la Muse je suis le Musc
Et notre film se lit non pas en noir et blanc
Mais en yin et yang,
