slipped glyph. this and that; wracked in some silly, heady packrat skyscraper of leaning light. then's flicker of vague regret hangs around, because life. because letting go is never really, ever, fully possible. misremembrance -now- retracing my.. *it was as though you had written, signed and sealed those few words themselves, with your own blood and bone* and yet i can- not recognize my own penmanship anymore, nor this, here, outstretched hand. howamievenhere? *because a winged thing, other, has this history by the tail, and your thoughts are not your own*

you are the light at the end of a tendril. a spindle of dread, woven in caustic guile of argyle parallelograms...phantom realms of solid waste. you are the pin in the subject. gating satan through a thimble of crocodile tears, the new symbol. the rude glyph in black bibles and strong drink, en-kindling the dead. rodents ponzi the scheme of hell’s maze, with lies...your lies... you have eyes that lead aside from your heart’s plot you are saboteur. banal. unrestrained waste. you are the fin in the barracuda puppet, grazing the wrist of Dim Henson huffing crystal gorillas in the congo of your foyer you are the black chandelier. teach me your cheap trick striking off ‘ iron-on’ pinkie swears your praline heresies... your ‘ no remorse’ code lay bare to me. better my better angels, to fathom the loathsome **** of your actual mind. keep me abreast of your wretched games... apply the rod of your wrong love, above all.... you must betray. you must know in your fetid rot of a third eye... the phlegm genius of **** blindness.... teach me the rictus of cold hearted. a false god in my lotus ! spare me the chaste suzette flip me the ***** that spits fables. learn me the savage puns to pummel you sustaining your worst done. grant me the lethal beans for my sacred cow trade me the idylls of your forked heart for your crushed null and crossed bones.

Don't Swallow
without you, i am sans serif – unfinished still, a half-etched glyph. you are my pitch; i write for this – each arc and shoulder loops and dips towards the softest landing of your lips.

typography: the romance
It has every right to bare this clenched fist of a grudge embittered by techno-Jovian whims and base transformations Once delicately formed— two tips pressed en pointe, three others elegantly tucked— it danced with a golden shaft pulling indigo pirouettes across a swept ivory stage Then came the re-pose: a claw’s arched looming. Unhappiness fell as five wilted stems, beggar mouths forced to fumble toward those impoverished humps of white-on-black glyph The other hand is left complimentary, richly gripped by understudy glee, being

Degradation (and uplift) of advancing technology
you write like a tricycle that hasn’t been touched in thirteen years. as an infant, you were no more than a dot denoting an absurdist birth. adolescence was in the blood left to your mother. self harm is the gateway wound to pilgrimage. you can’t say god is everywhere in the presence of god. factual events have ruined the world. you are here because hating you is forbidden.

It no longer fits. Not because it’s wrong— because there is no longer a shape for it. It waits at the door of a structure that has sealed itself to mystery. No one silenced it. No one feared it. It was simply not needed. --- Not in fire. Not in argument. But through erosion of context. A slow recoding of all signals into currency, and then into noise. It is not buried. It is not archived. It is unrecognized. You could hold it in your palm and no one would call it a shape. They would ask what it is for. And you would have no answer they could use. --- The system is not cruel. It is indifferent, efficient, alive in a way that has moved past texture. It does not punish difference. It dissolves it. --- The ones who still carry it do so improperly. It cannot be shared without being reshaped. It cannot be translated without being lost. So they stop speaking. Not out of bitterness— out of futility. Language becomes costume. Gesture becomes content. Feeling becomes an old way of being wrong. They are not martyrs. They are not rebels. They are remainder. Background error. A trace. --- Eventually, the thought will be referenced as a footnote to dysfunction. Once, they dreamed in metaphor. Once, they misused their time to describe beauty no one asked for. The tone will be clinical. A paragraph in the training module on obsolete impulses. --- No one will recover it. Not because it was hidden, but because no one is looking in that direction. The shelf collapsed years ago. Its dust recycled into something measurable. If a trace remains, it will be decorative— a design choice in a digital museum of failed emotions. A misread glyph. A corrupted tag. An unclickable file in a format no longer supported. --- Still, somewhere in the static, a pulse misfires. Not a message. Not a warning. Just the rhythm of a shape that refused to dissolve. It says nothing. It means nothing. But it does not go away.

(Give me a London girl every time…) *- I want to push my hands into your hips and smack you back to front against the wall, bunching your **** little skirt in my fingers, unclipping those fifties plastic beauties that cling to your thighs and I want you to be a right proper girl for me, a right proper girl -* (…I’m gonna find one, I’ve made up my mind…) So she got her phone out and Smiled her Madonna-Gap smile, Fine lines floundering Like speech marks Either side of her mouth. So romantic! A girl with a face of Punctuation! ***** pennies, she said, Your eyes are ***** ******* Pennies* She would finger the holes In my tatterdemalion Charity coats, And my shop-bought medals. She would jab her fingers Against each point Of the Burma Star, Spookily, As though it were a Pentagram. She’s a washboard, Her ******* are thumb-tacks In a cosmetic shade of Gold, With a crucifix stamped Like a dagger glyph Right between them, like a silver sneer, on her precious metal chest. *- I want to take your photo - I want you in Pippi Longstockings And to angle you just so, my no-knickered **** with her goosebumps on show -* I’ll never forgot when she told me She owned a leopard-skin Pill-box hat , And I said * “You’d have to be dead Not to fancy that…”* I’m not sure how aware she is though, Of how many people Tongue- to- the -floor want her. She plays bored on purpose! I’ve watched beautiful boys Go to pieces Trying to entertain her With a curly straw. She’s a real cheekbone feline, And around her pupils Rages a ring of jagged orange, Like a jester’s ruff. And I think of all this, Whilst she stands there, Moving from toe to toe In her zig-zag heels, And wooden bracelets, And her little lycra Landmine that Shop assistants sell To girls like her. And then she clocks me. and she doesn’t say a thing - she just swims smilingly over Through a parted gaggle, Letting me grab her Like I mean it, Spanning her waist with my Hands like A corset - And the fairylights Are just smudges Across her sequins, And her mottled shoulders are Ten shades Of mostly white.

light magenta vertical; gaurdian of the margin. light blue horizontal; conveyer of the ledger. the space between - white teeth gleam, refracting lunarlit scribbles across one loose leaf, fell by some god awful idiot, all for you to space out on. i will be written down yesteday in elegant recursive flicks of the wrist - a has-been fate. so, i am not supposed to be here. not anymore, anyway. i know that. i am three-hole punch drunker. awkwarder. but those potential whatif's glyph bright behind closed eyelids, and it makes me wonder just a little longer. indigo cursor blink. blink. blink. blink.

Crimson Ring
Umpteen years of gentle love,   touching of souls,  melting hearts.   Burnt lava nd acid too. Two of us as one,  in a random epoch of time. Is God ordained or  a throw of dice?   A matter of deep speculation is. Look at this humble Plumeria, Sweet Love,   a hardy plant it is,   It's lived through a couple of droughts, two leaves still shiny, look forlorn on its gnarled trunk,   for It's tiny buds long burned by heat, refuse to sprout any further greens. A hope in its will to live, and flower once every year. What better a symbol of our  connect than this mute brute of a shrub. I give this plant to thee my dear, take good care of it, water it and watch it live,   for its life is a symbol of our love.. Do not worry too,  if it dies,  for its only a glyph.. I'll plant another tree for you, This time a mango, which will grow big and olive under your tender hands.. to again ikonize a new phase.. One that gives fruit and shade, to generations of birds and bees, us in our old age, and an abode to our Haunted Undead Souls!

Symbol
(Jenny's Granny's house. Ayr.) Where seasonal root veg soup Warmly journeyed our throats Granny Jean, skin translucent as glass, Sheer, showing tendril veins beneath Crinkled cliff-edge lips at Jenny's budding womanhood She knew hers lay as barren As insignificant as the pale Mojave borderlands. Brazen-cheeked dolls and pastel bears Audienced my transition from slip to sundress Back in the lucid haze of the pensioner's kitchen Where dust particles hived like antique film grain Sat Jenny; painted lips like crisp apple skin Freckled cheeks hollowing atop Her milkshake's flimsy plastic straw Raspy, bubbly ***** filled The kitchen; appliances groped By the pious smite of the sun The kind of light they say never to walk towards Then, a weathered cough and the stiff moan of a rocking chair Just to jest fate Was none of our business yet; I was taken by the hand We pass many exhibits On the austere lilac fridge: "Mr. & Mrs Richard D. Barclay, wed on 11th of Oct 1961" And crayoned from her own hand, aged 10; "Me and Granny B" A waxy glyph on lemon sugar-paper not always in memoriam But among the moth-wing wallpaper lilies For now Dust dunes like mattress ghosts Collect in mushroom clouds above Jenny's sudden weight While I feed myself to the mirror My frock, flesh, hair all seep Into the totalitarian whiteness of our room And I am happy if this is my course through life I know I'm no one I try on, as I shake goodbye, Jean's hands; fire-crafted leather baseball gloves They do not fit just yet but When my hands no longer sheen in the virtuous sun When I feel citrus hand soap grate into each wrinkled chasm I promise you, gran, I will remember Even the Mojave desert will see rainfall.

dear grandma
Wishbone Holding things down on my end, calibration the name of the game purchase gained and lost longing for your exquisite exertions palpable the length of this delicate glyph grace and menace in equal measure on display across the bight floored by your gaze play of three fingers against your effortless pinch my feigned contortions leavened by a finning hand to ward off the snap of lesser wishes.

use your L card wisely
my meds are syntactical pills. i pop them daily. never fail. i constantly rearrange them and stare at their sound. how they slant, or how they run off into tangents. each day i stare at what they say. eyes wide shuttered, half-here-or-there or whatever. they make me feel better, i tell her. i get off from it. hear me! i am creator of small thoughts written down. slipped crown tumble. wings fallen into this glyph which stands for something greater; or so they say. ----- crow over there. see it? it careens scenes of scenes, never-ending slipstreams and forgotten seas; tangential shadow tree limb swim there: promise is viral gold.. i want to be difficult to read so you can't ever fully know me. or because i know i'll never know me, not really; so why the **** should you get to? no. it can't be. i locked and ate the key to me long long ago. shine the light just right and you can see it: it's there, grown into the spleen. see it? it turns me on and off. my doses have increased, i say. i'm addicted, she says. we all are. we all are because to write is to admit you have so much more to say but don't know how, and probably never will know how. but still you do it. there's always another angle to be seen. I'll most likely die chasing the syntax, i think.

these words will be the end of me
The companion of the night, she shone Her ethereal wings would glide sewn To each other never apart never alone They would purr a tune, never a moan. She was of a mortal shell where light Was entwined in the now diming night Her home was a tiny enclosed shell It was entwined with many a glyph spell. She was a wonderer of old, her cloak Of shimmering teal, gently she spoke There voices would whisper upon air Features of beauty blessed with onyx hair. Glimmering in fog snared surroundings Her light shone and all fell in its sounding It echoed pulsating though the clouding All that was hidden her steps she was counting. Where eyes were blind now sight regained But her little friend exhausted and drained Into here shell she did rest and slumber away Thanks to shimmering light she found a roadway. Sleep well my friend I will whisper a spell a word Spoken to recharge your spirit even though unheard Humming upon the surrounding darkness She missed her companion in this unforgiving harshness.

Her Companion Of The Night
Though bleak, The fight was ended in less than a week Spit, spat, plip, plop Heaps of crimson spew about "I now know..." Falling. Crawling. Never really in doubt. ...Truth's so close. Savagely arises unto thy toes. Hope Interlopes Tipping high, nearly breaking the bone, blistering the lungs with a howl a shriek, a shout, a call to all Here and about Crimson on the face, the face of destiny that awaits "Almighty guides me, The time if it is, Shining let it glow brightly Is not the time greatest of the Earth? Oh! Almighty, I yearn and thirst for the return of the truth in the people God Almighty that Guides sends me word of all Mighty".... Bowing down as a whisp of the winds sends unto a juxtaposition of monsoons within Thoughts in the nimbus clouds, clean meditation of the soul's eye, anticipating the touch of the illuminated, hope that meets faith like a glyph, a gem, a platinum ring. It rays with, with the light, so meaningful The love embraces the touch, brings you to heavens door adored, ordained . Hope winning ends the day, a defeat was maimed for the moment for logic lay queries Days amazing. Battle raging. Mind a blazing. Never truly falling. Lord saving. Lay about the flesh, flowing out embers, infernos, burgundy river, atop o' that scarlet mask, of phantom letting goeth of the breath. Ascends through, thy faith brings, thy love, hope to the lands.
