"anglican" poems
The professions of our leaders are paraded across longitudinal and latitudinal vistas. However, I have to ask: Whatever happened to the possession of that which is professed in our contemporary shell of delusion? A princess may depart from her Celtic docks in order to sail back to her Anglican roots; and the fabric of high society may display an appealing veneer which covers explicit nakedness in the name of mass psychology. So, my articulate propagate of conformity, I urge you to don the profound tuxedo at your avoidant desire. But please do not seek for me to enter into the denial of our core identity. For those who are willing to rock this boat of ludicrous salesmanship, I raise my glass to testicular rectitude which transcends gender stereotypes.

Deluded Venerability
It dons a hat of seeming sophistication, in the manner of a Boston gangster where cross-cultural expressions gather at Gaelic mouse-traps of East Coast dominance. It is a heritage, my friend. There is sophistication around Italian restaurants, and I have no regrets. Yet, I must say, that I have experienced minimal fun amidst this political Anglican black-comedy where integrity is often confused with connected colours of red, white and blue, and the colours of green white and gold. This is a picture of illegitimate power, where brethren gnash their intellectual mandibles and covet recognition at the price of their very soul. Delusional quests for superiority remind me of downward spiralling staircases with blazing torches, where the echoes of scorching souls can be heard to resound throughout professional circles. As I carry this blazing torch through spiritual levels of command, I ask the question: whatever happened to humanity?

Professional Cannibalism
Carrickfergus (1937) - poem by Louis Macneice. I was born in Belfast between the mountain and the gantries To the hooting of lost sirens and the clang of trams; Thence to Smoky Carrick in County Antrim Where the bottle-neck harbour collects the mud which jams The little boats beneath the Norman castle, The pier shining with lumps of crystal salt; The Scotch quarter was a line of residential houses But the Irish quarter was a slum for the blind and halt. The brook ran yellow from the factory stinking of chlorine, The yarn mill called it's funeral cry at noon; Our lights looked over the lough to the lights of Bangor Under the peacock aura of a drowning moon. The Norman walled this town against the country To stop his ears to the yelping of his slave And built a church in the form of a cross but denoting The list of Christ on the cross in the angle of the nave. I was the rectors son, born to the Anglican order, Banned for ever from the candles of the Irish poor; The Chichesters knelt in marble at the end of a transept With ruffs about their necks, their portion sure. The war came and a huge camp of soldiers Grew from the ground in sight of our house with long Dummies hanging from gibbets for bayonet practice And the sentry's challenge echoing all day long; A Yorkshire terrier ran in and out by the gate-lodge Barred to civilians, yapping as if taking affront; Marching at ease and singing 'Who Killed **** Robin?' The troops went out by the lodge and off to the Front. The steamer was camouflaged that took me to England- Sweat and khaki in the Carlisle train; I thought that the war would last for ever and sugar be always rationed and that never again Would the weekly papers not have photos of sandbags And my governess not make bandages from moss And people not have maps above the fireplace With flags on pins moving across and across- Across the hawthorn hedge the noise of bugles, Flares across the night, Somewhere on the lough was a prison ship for Germans, A cage across their sight. I went to school in Dorset, the world of parents Contracted into a puppet world of sons Far from the mill girls, the smell of porter, the salt-mines And the soldiers with their guns. Louis Macneice

Satanic anthems are bold, as they carry their message across undefined boundaries where infinity spreads her wanton features across the generations of history. Boston reminds me of my historical roots, where Anglican tragedy submits her fornications in submissive rebellion. With this in mind, let us use our fallible wills to travel together, across astral vistas where timeless plantations of hallucinogenic acceptance join hands around the mistress of the dark and her tantalising secretions. Can we please communicate into the depths of the dawn in our debaucheries? Feel the rhythm of unspeakable energies, as the pulse ripples through your eternal lusts.

Explicit Daemons
Once, a young fresher was reading the rules, and was more than perplexed at the place where they state "All undergraduates, if they are Anglicans, must be in chapel each Sunday at eight." Wracking his brains, he began a small rumour that spread through the town on the weekdays that followed; he was not an Anglican, nor Nonconformist; his faith and religion was mere Heliolatry. Saturday evening, our hero retired with a smile on his face and his bin at his door, only to wake to a thunderous hammering, made by the porter, next morning at four. Ah, how a little lie, told with great frequency, gains repercussions that no-one expects! "Dawn's almost here, sir, the Chaplain expects you; go down to Main Court and you'll pay your respects."

Leaping like calves
Anglican death drips her intoxicating pronouncements around the squares, whilst obscure gossip prevails in the forests of Massachusetts. Give me some bread whilst I stir this cauldron of distorted communications. Will you please explore my future epitaph, and guard against the myriads of undertakers who seek to raise the chalice of dark and oratory expression? Let us travel together, as we have already channelled the wisdom of the ages.

A Choir of the Early Settlers
she brings him tea, a piece of cheese late morn   for he has been toiling since dawn   his plane shaving the wood reverently the old oak speaking, though not complaining, in a language the man does not understand   a coughing code for loss, forbearance, acceptance, redemption, he hopes, for the boys keep coming… first from Ypres, the Verdun, now the Marne     before, he heaved hewn planks for the hopeful homes, built their pantries to be filled with the bread, the kind milk   now the sawn boards are for those who once watched his labors, but no longer hear the simple sounds of sanding, sawing or anything at all   most of the lads do not come home, their souls and bodies left to rot on the blood sullied grass   or buried shallow, naked in the French soil, but all get a fine coffin   thanks to the carpenter’s wife, whose babe was the first to fall, who demands for them all, a holy horizontal home to be built   and, empty or not, placed gently in Anglican ground

the casket maker’s wife
I am Sarah Malcolm - yes, the one they call the Irish Laundress and the jury found me guilty of the murders (the Infamous Murderess) of Mrs Lydia Duncomb, Mrs Harrison and the servant Ann Price in Mrs Lydia’s chamber at the Inns of Court in the Temple; and the jury only needed 15 minutes and there was disbelief when I admitted to robbery but not ****** and there was disgust when I said the blood on my clothing was my own menstrual blood and not the blood of Ann Price: I had broken a taboo in talking of menstrual blood for, as they say, only loose and the not so virtuous women speak that way and of course even after the judgement I have been deemed even more guilty for I am of a different Communion of the Catholic faith, not Anglican - just as the Ordinary, James Guthrie described me in instructing me here at Newgate on the Christian faith; and I have earned the name now of many as the evil, barbaric, and stubborn woman And now Mr Hogarth sketches and paints that you might have a view of me; and the appointed date is 7 March 1733 when I will be executed... and these lines I add to the picture that you might remember me

I, Sarah Malcolm
Can you hear the wheels of the carriage, as they hasten along the stony tracks of Anglican countryside? Oh, deviant highwaymen, you are concealed by damp foliage, and I have not yet reduced the heat. I fully appreciate those discussions where connection to other realms freely occurs without inhibition. Oh protector of the commonwealth, I long for your parliamentary executions.

Cromwellian Indulgences
Philanthropic gesticulations are an evident dismissal of Anglican legends. In this Northern hemisphere, we are unified on the verge of an axial tilt, whilst equestrian ladies in jodhpurs of champagne delicacy seek profanities beyond the confines of social respectability. Let us sit under the wise branches of the oak tree in nocturnal dimensions of Newtonian questionability, and broaden our horizons as we contemplate our ancestors. Listen to the bubbling brook as she whispers timeless stories of enchantment. Oh, bearer of liberated pain, I resent fox-hunting. The rooster always crows at dawn.

Come in! Come in! Enter into the viral abyss of the ages. Give thanks to the astrological signs in the name of the ancient wisdom of the oak tree. Smouldering coals convey their warm and glowing connectedness in a medieval village, whilst the screeching owl swoops into the lofty turret of the olde English churchyard. Will you pay homage to the proclaimed majesty of Anglican monarchy? Dare you submit your soul to the authority of King Henry VIII in the guise of what is deemed to be Catholicism? Listen: Thatch your roof my naïve friend of putrid beauty – the real plague is already upon us. Can’t you feel the tangible octaves of the harpsichord? The rhythm of midnight will never deplete in her resounding cries throughout the universe.

Olde English Political Symphony
A universe that breathes its natural joy, through geysers, and the summer sprinkling of sugar atop burning crimson oranges. Which finds necessitude, in orbits of tender frequency. Which finds contempt: in vacuous headlands and marshes filled with spider's legs. Which seeks unity: by golden dusty saturation and celestial chapels strewn with haunted bursts from depressed musical chimneys. Where I am, futilely seeking to dethrone myself. ["Your mothers and your fathers," said he, at the AA meeting beneath the musty and deserted Anglican church. "Where the rooms and the furniture breathes a sigh of relief as you enter. Where your bodies succumb to violent pangs of movement, movement that is nothing other than the tides of the ocean and the tautness of a kite string by the shore. Where three hundred white silken dancers trot in flowing garments Dutch windmills to catch the wind and flow closer to omnipotence." Before him, a child sadly sings.]

Céntirnott
I lied about so much and in such a shortspace of time that I should probably begin with the circumstances of my birth. There were three grainy home movies in existence that captured the unbelievable incident on camera. A soft mewling sound was found to be issuing from the manger at the centre of a school nativity play. So that's me, then. The baby-saviour whose sudden appearance was not recognised as a miracle by the State. My origins are disputed and there are some schools of thought that consider me prop-made-flesh. Others are rooted in more digestibly Anglican ways of thinking; degenerates made me, degenerates left me. god he saved me how about that? I remember my home phone number from a house we left when I was 5 years old, but there's sadly a decent chance I can't remember your name. you finish your drink in a vicious way, as if you hate it.

Aping our Apologist
Longing for the kiss of bitter reality, Much of bare humane nature has been deprived of mentality. Though the holy reputation, The Anglican halls fill with the souls of the unwanted and unloved. Much atonement to be done, All in the name of Himself. Said a few prayers amidst this deadly nightshade, filled with poison, But blessed with beauty and rage. Shaking the wings of their terrible youth, we strayed from the heavens above. Mistaking pain for love, masochists, with the love for such ******* all alone in our dark paradise. Whilst we knew that the “happy ending” that love promised is likely to never be fulfilled, We went in search of the rich wine that intoxicates us, the empty pitcher. After searching for our angel for decades, we finally stumbled upon him, He helped us to unfurl our wings and guided us, the devils, to soar high into the heavens in ourselves, Constantly reminding us, that the devil, was once an angel too.

Signing Off, The Love Club
I can feel the wails of ancient ghosts, as their rancid breath slithers past my historical and misty perceptions. The highlands have a story to tell, so please attend the ceilidh. Anglican troops have brought violence through those who are possessed by the spirit of treason. Therefore, let us now make haste to the dance and travel together beyond timeless rails, where austere mist hangs in the air like a Celtic obituary. Can we at least discuss this repetitive yet hypnotic sound of linear rage? My motives are sincere. I am related to the True North, and I appreciate the resonating pulse of your entity.

Lingering History
Welcome to this friendly desert community Take in the fresh hazelnut smell As you get lost in this mystifyingly beautiful town Do you dare go to the library to learn about our history Written by lizards and cuttlefish? Listen to the larks as they scream Lurking in the trees Don't be fooled by Robert Who sends out anglican pheromones Put the halters on top of deers To stop their egalitarian anarchist ways The hardware's lasers signal the feral dogs To howl into the vacuum of nothingness
