"toner" poems
Between my finger and my thumb The squat pin rest; snug as a gun. Under my window, a clean rasping sound When the ***** sinks into gravelly ground: My father, digging. I look down Till his straining **** among the flowerbeds Bends low, comes up twenty years away Stooping in rhythm through potato drills Where he was digging. The coarse boot nestled on the lug, the shaft Against the inside knee was levered firmly. He rooted out tall tops, buried the bright edge deep To scatter new potatoes that we picked, Loving their cool hardness in our hands. By God, the old man could handle a ***** Just like his old man. My grandfather cut more turf in a day Than any other man on Toner's bog. Once I carried him milk in a bottle Corked sloppily with paper. He straightened up To drink it, then fell to right away Nicking and slicing neatly, heaving sods Over his shoulder, going down and down For the good turf. Digging. The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slap Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge Through living roots awaken in my head. But I've no ***** to follow men like them. Between my finger and my thumb The squat pen rests. I'll dig with it.

Digging
He knows not how the toner trails, I know how my conduits drain themselves. Forming a queue while spitting blood They’re an anemic residue. He knows not how to freshen my palate, With warmth, I see no remedy My so-fatigued heart, I was a monochrome in plastic wares. I wasn’t a prototype, but a derivative. Seclusion I abhor, indeed my life too

one more click a button pressed an ocean of toner evaporates line by line by line the hand that presses the buttons connected to the brain from the word go twitches, trying to remember: the muscle memory of sliding knives into delicate ******* of chicken uncorking expensive bottles of wine to drink, to cook with to bandage bleeding fingers cut to the quick by misplaced motion of chef knives remembering the gossamer touch of the sous chef who said, in her northeast Philadelphia sing-song applying Bactine, gauze and several different types of pressure "hey, at least we aren't dying in cube-farms, right?" the blood pours in the past, but now the bills are paid the stain, long wiped away, still remains hit. print.

the rise and fall of the tides
Læs mine tanker, stands dem, riv dem ud så jeg kan se, hvad jeg føler. Klippe små huller, mønstre der forvandler dem til ferskenblide kærtegn. Sneen falder hysterisk fra himlen og lander ufrivilligt i min mund. Ligegyldigheden lægger sig som tunge fjer for mit blik, og jeg er bare - Indhyllet i repetitionens storslåede pragt af forblødende sind, der overses af snefnug og placebolykke. Jeg lytter til melankoliens toner, der lægger sig sterilt i mit blod, forsøger at rense det for alt der er mig; til der intet er tilbage. Men jeg føler ingenting. Kun en brændende stikken af forfrysningerne, der har bredt sig til alle mine organer, hvor det eneste, der pligtopfyldende fungerer, er en pulserende hjerterytme, der magtesløs hvisker signaler om et synderknust indre. Men væggene er for tykke og sneen for dyb til at noget skulle kunne trænge igennem til omverdenens bedøvede trance.

Samuel and Daisy
Grålige toner turnerer rundt, isnende. Smaragder, forklædt som mine bankede, tunge og paniske hjerteslag. Febrilsk narrer vi hinanden til at være glade Følelses-dækkende smil og hjerter, I dette mørke, som har sænket sig ned over os. Alle går vi rundt med minder, miner, sorte og triste. Trængede efter lyst og lys kaster vi os over hinanden. Skyder med en stjerneregn af følelser mod personlige parader. Når solen kaster sig over mig og jeg stiger til vejrs. Vi skal forenes og forsones, vi vil kende til hiannden. Så husker du mig, så vil du kendes ved mig.

NÅR SOLEN KOMMER
Nætter jeg faldt i søvn til blide toner i en salig strøm af længselsfuld lyrik citeret af stemmer i takt med dit hjertes **** bag brystkassen ved min kind Mens drømmende melodier faldt ind i rytmen fra dit rolige åndedrag og den stille efterklang af lyden fra tabte toner for altid at minde mig om dig

Tabte toner (da)
Stemmer udefra Overdøver larmen indefra Tomme tankestrømme flyder med kraft Gennem mine hjerneceller. Slår mod kanten af mit hoved Indre afbrudt af ydre Bølgerne af lyd skærer i mine øre Døv for toner og stemmeføring Men ikke for valg af ord. Tunge larmende fraser - Spyttes vildt ud gennem fedtede læber I et desperat forsøg på at Slette sporene i sandet.

Jeg frygter fremtiden, at fortidens spor, der er i dag er altafgørende alt vi gør er at kæmpe for at eksistere. Smagen af verden ændrer sig, og hvor skal jeg gå hen? Weekendens distraktioner bliver en inhibitor der holder fast i glasøjne og naivitet. Jorden er sort og jeg ser mine organer blive gennemboret af snefnuggene, der falder. Tankeløst. I et splitsekund, forstår jeg uvisheden, om måske aldrig at møde dig. Mit hjerte falder ud, og lander i dine hænder. Ud af min blodsprængte øjenkrog skimter jeg kaffen. Jeg kan se mine lunger punktere og skyerne kommer nærmere, og jeg ser det falde, nattens blod eller din sjæl? og orkesterets toner spiller kærlighed under min hud, men intet kan jeg mærke. Jeg smadrer min hånd Et antiklimaks af ferskenhud og fløjlstårer. Når du siger mit navn vokser der universer på min krop "månen er død" flyder det ud af din mund og intet kan jeg stille op. Man skulle have været barn af en anden tid.

mørket trænger sig på. månen spejler sig i ulveflokkens nådeløse øjne. ulvene kigger mod himlen og hyler deres hjerter ud. månen er omringet af stjerner, men rovdyrenes kalden blokerer alt kommunikation. nuancer af liv toner ud. natten ligger skindød, men søvnløshed betyder sult, så den ensomme ulv søger blod. månen rækker ud til den. den føler sig heldig. men den lytter blot til  en vuggevise, der snart vil blive sunget for den næste i flokken. nu har natten taget over og månen skinner som aldrig før. den blænder mig, så jeg lukker mine øjne og pludselig kan jeg selv høre visen. f.b

Fuldmåne
Du samlede mig op. Stykke for stykke. Jeg er ikke hel, men det er okay. At spejle mig i dine nat-klare øjne heler mere end tiden nogensinde vil og det sendte et samsurium af alt det gode verden stadig gemmer på igennem mine glasknogler og trætte organer, der langsomt heledes når mine isblå negle forenden af mine fingre trykkedes i din ferskenbløde hånd. Endeligt var det rigtigt. Endeligt er jeg hjemme. Endeligt kan jeg mærke dig, beundre din marmor-hud hvorunder toner af liv, jeg ellers aldrig har hørt, spilles. Et endeligt øjeblik, hvor lyset slipper ind, og jeg har det som om, at der vokser fløjls roser i min krop. Natten omslutter os med ét og jeg ser igennem dine øjne. Tegner ekliptika langs din rygsøjle. Endeligt flyver vi. Ikke længere skal vi forestille os. Endeligt.

Endeligt
Tårerne falder og maler gulvet sort ligesom den blanke kaffe jeg spejler mig i. Jeg ser din månehvide hud alt imens natkanonen sender toner blå, af melankoli gennem mine årer og bider sig fast på min krogede rygsøjle og jeg kan mærke mine lunger. Synet af dig skærer i mine blå øjne Jeg tænker tilbage på tiden med dådyrøjne og cashmerehjerter. Nu har vi kun reptilblikke og vinylindre. Omridset af dit ansigt har jeg glemt og jeg famler hjælpeløs i tågen for at nå dine krystalgrå hænder med farer for at blive spist af fortrængelsen. Åh. Jeg husker din pastelhud og dine øjne som lilla ferskner. Duften var som jorden selv. Du smagte af knuste drømme og hypotetiske realiteter. Jeg tænker på dig, så stille som en marts nat. Du er så smuk Især når du er stille. 'Men hvad ved jeg også om det?' Platonisk kærlighed. Jeg har allerede fortrudt min tanke og ønsket om at vende om, sætter sig som glasskår i mine øjne. Måske er du noget jeg har fundet på? Mine kinder bløder og stjernerne danser røde og blå. Lysår væk.

Natkanon
Wide awake rushes up my vocal cords Nothing is so bashful nor sweet to tongues Make my very eyelids whisper “Oh Lord” And fall on their kneecaps burn out their lungs. A Morning breath armchair sipping coffee breath Red lips punch the mug right in the kisser Of all the Mahogany nothing’s left Hemingway spoken floats like a whisker. I slam the window in Bossanova, And the armchair appears- smiles a bullseye, I printed your face without ink toner, Into an old crossword unmemorized. Slept like cocoons that anxiety’d worn, Stomach full of butterflies- your front porch.

So Alive.
One day our spines’ll tesselate under sage soft duvets as storms sweep across us and no one will cry; not one noise shall slip from tongues ‘cos strength comes from keeping quiet or carrying on. You’re a now realised kindness that doesn’t know what breath is or how the north circular works in festive rush hours home, but I’ll kiss the answers upon your tender carbon tapered chest and hope the toner never runs low (your dad would’ve handcrafted every thing he knew in semaphore if he’d have pulled through, but you’ll learn in time, too, that time does not ruin fewer experiences than being). I lean in. Whisper this (above) across your one body, three eighths the size of a coffee table hardback book: the result of patience pined for that I mimed along to motherhood the best I could for nine months and now, here, I lift the hood and work out what to do next in this rush to settle down and sit, sip until you snooze off into silence. Here I carry you and do not notice the weight, stare at the gape of you, my newly framed little one held in the palm of my hand, squat full four pinter named after someone we knew. You landed lunar surface side up, smoothed new to the toes and I wonder how I’ll meet you I wonder how this goes.

pigen der tavst traver gennem skoven der efterhånden er helt nøgen og iagttager de gyldne blade der er faldet med hendes rødvinsfarvede læber suger *** grådigt på den sidste cigaret *** kunne finde i lommen og vinden hiver i hendes lange lysebrune bølgede hår men *** er ligeglad, for *** kan kun tænke på at en dag, snart, vil *** forsvinde fra dette sted i ørene danser der stille toner komponeret af engle og sunget af Bon Iver pigens øjne er store og runde, og vidt åbne for *** prøver at sluge så meget af denne følelse før det er for sent igen og lyset der titter igennem de spinkle grene atter er forsvundet og erstattet af en grå tåge hendes tanker står så stille, samtidig med at stemmerne aldrig nogensinde stopper med at hviske til hende de hvisker, at en pige som hende aldrig vil blive lykkelig pigen griner da lyden af ordene giver genlyd i hendes hovede, *** havde nemlig for længst affundet sig med at lykken er den nøgne skov, gyldne blade, rødvinslæber, cigaretter, de sidste solstråler og Bon Iver

pigen med de rødvinsfarvede læber
Tankerne kører rundt i hovedet på mig, som en karrusel snurrer de mig rundt Jeg kigger ned, rør ved mit hår, har lyst til en smøg Jeg betragter flammen da jeg tænder: jeg ryger i stilhed Jeg er halv beruset, jeg tænker på dig Jeg suger røgen ind og trækker vejret dybt, lader det fylde tomrummet i mit hjerte Det føltes som at danse på knust glas Jeg kan mærke smerten, jeg kan se at mine fødder bløder Men jeg bliver ved og ved med at danse, til de smukke toner som fylder mit hoved og dæmper smerten Jeg danser, som om at intet var galt Jeg er ligeglad Jeg ville danse i 1000 år, bare for at få hans opmærksomhed SE mig Den rigtige mig Den pige der danser sensuelt rundt på gulvet, rør ved sit hår og ryger cigaretter – er det mig? Kan du se det?

At danse på knust glas
Sitting – well, slouching Parochial ticky-tacky chair distorting sprawled alignment How does a piece of paper weigh so much? How do I extrude a greater weight from it into another page? Fumbling with knotted headphones My eyes drop into the inked Times New Roman The page intones my fumbling succinctly, “I try to find something, anything.” What boyscout, boatsmen, or climber crawled in my bag and tied this interminable knot? My eyes turn to the knot - Still fumbling with the toner’s entombed dance I grew up in this slouch, in this tangle, thinking in Times New Roman Etching knowledge into or from 8 x 12 reams Does the paper weight I feel in the paper’s request equate to the weight of a neural connection ascertaining chemical knots?

Does the Paper Weigh as much as the Thought?
He was leaning against the wall, backed up And staring through fumes of gin and whiskey, Glaring at all the toffs, dressed up And ravelling through his sordid history. But never a sense of ‘us’ with him He was more like a raging arcane animal, Caught and caged, as they looked right in To poke and pry at his painted trammel. Oils and charcoals, water colours, Pinned like an insect by their gazing, Pointing fingers would **** his skin Pick through his pockets, grinning, gaping. What would they know of his woods and fields, The towering oak, or the dew at dawning? Only the light that a lamp post yields In the mean streets when the world is yawning. Theirs was a world of tile and brick Of diesel fumes and the rail line snaking, His were the hills of hay and rick The tumbledown cot and the farmer, raking. ‘What did you bring me here to spill?’ He said to the shyster gallery owner, ‘There’s nothing you couldn’t print at will With a Laser print, and a barrel of toner.’ ‘They’re coming in hordes to see your myth, You’re a breath of air in a jaded Autumn, A genuine Primitive, Jordan Griff, I lured them in, and your work has caught them.’ But Jordan scowled and he curled his lip As the crowd milled using an unknown language, ‘I’d rather be down at the ‘Rope and Skip’ With a pint of ale and a cold meat sandwich!’ ‘You’re really an artist?’ said the woman Who stood at his shoulder, pale and shaking, ‘I like the one at the farmer’s gate With the girl, head bowed, as her heart is breaking.’ Griff looked deep in the woman’s eyes For the chord she’d struck was his secret mourning, ‘How did you know?’ He’d sobered up, ‘I was the girl your paint was born in!’ Jordan halted his glass, mid-sip, He seized her hand as his heart was pacing, ‘Years have slipped between cup and lip, I’d give them all for a second tasting!’ He led her into a lumber room And she locked the door as they pulled apart, Then found some cushions and in the gloom They lay on the floor there, making art. That’s how his Primitives came to start With a joy not there at his god-rot dawning, A horse and cart with his palette heart, And a tousled woman each tumbledown morning! David Lewis Paget

den hurtighed, der har omringet os er en, som vi alle forsøger at løbe i hælene på, omfavne og vise at vi elsker men vores Nike Free 4.0 bliver pludselig fyldt med bly mørkegrå, tonstunge, bindende blyklodser, der hiver og trækker kroppen ned i gruset, der smuldrer mellem fingrespidserne, alt imens hurtigheden får et kilometer langt forspring pludselig ligger vi der, pulsen falder ned til et punkt, hvor den dunker i takter, der bemærkes og føles noget lyd er omkring dig, præcis hvad det er, ved du ikke helt: det lyder dog bekendt, hvilket giver en blussende, varm fornemmelse i kinderne, og da hører du det - fuglekvidre en sammensætning af glade toner, der tilsammen udgør en melodi, som letter dig fra jorden de olivengrønne træer bliver tværet til siden, som om du kørte hånden over et vådt maleri, for du bevæger dig i bløde piruetter på tåspidsen, og mærker solens nuancer indeni langsomheden står ved din side og snurrer i cirkler sammen med dig, inderst inde, helt nede i maven, der ved du godt at noget er forandret, men det siger du ikke noget til.

Glenshane Pass separated you both. 23 miles away in the same time, same place as my father’s childhood. So when you talked of your da digging Toner’s bog and waxed lyrical about sheughs, I knew in our English class what exactly you were saying (when others didn’t). Your words float over time & space to me now. A celebration of the intimacy of our homelands. A holy adoration of long gone voices that still resonate. You never strayed, never. It was always in your heart, always: the land, the forgotten lanes, the broad fields, the lost language of it all. I keep a certain comfort now with your lines as I Iay in my southerly home, knowing that I am forever tithed to the townlands of our shared ancestry. I thank you. May your words stay alive as song as Ireland still has its beauty and may their illumination still shine on us all.

Mød mig på de rene linjer Dans på de mørke gulve Skab ro hvor uroen hvisker Mal mine tanker hvide For de er så sorte Dans med tanken om lykke Til de ulykkelige toner Kron de ukronede Og tal til de fremmede lyde Vogt dig for de forbandede Og fri dig fra noget andet Hvisk til mig, fortæl at alt er okay Tys på mine fordomme og alt der Høre med Fortæl mig at livet er farligt Og at jeg skal tage den med ro Mød mig hætteklædt Og klæd mig på Til livets omstændigheder Og uheldigheder Mød mig på linen hvor de danser Selvom der ik er plads til flere end to
