HelioTrope

cum in do cumin
did just i not pat space 
there-there here next moi?
yes yes yes i did-- 
i did so so sit
hear by me we can soon touch 
no do not turn away just now
we can play swim weak knee seas
make dry eyes water please turn
surface tension needs strokes
after all is said-- 
cum in do cumin please do



 

Chance Encounter

Grave Achilles sat
blissfully darning bed socks for victims of his mood swings—
a timely encounter downunder thus helped them
forge great shapes of things
shrewd Ulysses’ war eyes looked perplexed·
on seeing this Achilles carped the diem & told this glum mucker that life beats death hands
down no worries huh

Tummy warming stuff
on this wet day in Maida Vale inside a humming bird
whalebone bisque before aboriginal public—
noble stuff indeedy poohs·
however mud sticks regardless take the point
on board & suck on it extract epic sangine juices lick lips breathe a deep sigh without
ever knowing it

What came next was pain
inexplicable—how many times can you leave home
without your keys till they finally write you off?
Too many cheeseburgers
(one a day for eleven years) takes its toll
of a demi-god let alone the rest even though they have a voice best ignore it all now
thanks for dropping by

 

Come Hilarus

scatter lucky beryl cellophane gaily around cutlass island go make marina pretty pristine regatta according to will and epilogue eleven years we lived harmonious-like then whoosh sister big wind Marcia blew up some tempest like see you never did

so it seems dangling over  parchment stone bones & ashes once impudent amusements were delicately nurtured doctrines by glum Python beyond farewell all hope of fortune for I was not. I was. I was not. I don’t care now leave traveller’s checks cheat others as you did yourselves

so you see these days not even toddlers except those young enough to get free baths value spirits underground valleys and rivers or our mate Sharon’s face full of black frogs or tall tales of hundreds of dead souls on one boat

rest assured ills end when you snuff it no dark underworld tosh no judgement seats all baloney borne by hairbrain herms…

The Pushchair

sillhouetees

By candle.

Mind’s eye flix…instead I stalk

awkward, push his wheelchair, crossing,

three-point-turning,

tricornering, crossing back,

leant on bedstead,

with free limb, revolve said chair, repeat.

Repeat.

Repeat.

Sit and sweat and look

and realize why he smells off.

The do it again.

And again. Again.

Waiting for…forgot.

Flighty Aphrodite

Letters found under a Sea Shell,
perhaps — cockle, hermit, conch,
periwinkle…lists of ships nefarious
Whose that over reacting  there?
Iffy light bulbs wax & wane
Mistook Ajax for Johnson’s Baby
No bloody wonder is it?
Are we not merely the Star’s Tennis Balls?
No we are the playthings of the Gods
All ends up at the heel of the hunt
Yes, suppose it does
How we tittered!

Just keep bobbing up and bobbing down
Watch sardonic heads barking braying constant
hanging over crowded parapets orchestra below jumpy
chuckles brassy rubber necking knowing how it always ends ie:
hit the deck and spill the beans that run out feely
heralds send forth some seventh cavalry or other yokes
cut off at the pass up some otiose defile
laters Daulis is full of knuckleheads
spoiling for a knees up decided time to do
my turn & quit wrestling lions naked bringing down
posh funhouse in Naples at the very thought snapped out
a very whimsical rice paper boatman shrank rippled vague
sun up vanished leaving dead slow women & children & you
burst out laughing for no apparent reason: the very idea
of pulchritude we regret over red mullet…

Pomes is

Commoditties

Vacuum packed starshells

Beside the brassica

Liquid cheese fajitas

Above the pistachios

Something for the weekend

The Poet

A mere commode…

So go to

work on a leg,

or,

better still,

two.

Plumb

the crumbliest,

Flakiest

confection

in the world

it does what

it says

on the tin:

Authentic

Teak

Finish

Go on,

Try it!

Yes, you can

If you like

Back at Sea

Icky

Primrose promised me

evasion and avoidance

Get down to brass tax

after easter jamborees

lazy  anniversaries

~

Father, son, and down the face

Pigsty disgrace ful

wish it away with fresh air

citrus freshener

~

That’s a bit better

focus on and gather up what was

and is to be done,

bundle them all up,

watch them fall into

ephemeral dystopias

~

gothic slab caked alabaster

slip slop slap on thick as pitch

regard the sporting complex

perusing motley queue of:

whats, whens, and how to do’s

~

put your best foot forward,

promptly fall face flat

relapsed catholic tastes stale

yellow river reds

run under beds of roses

beneath your contempt

bedding clothes smell suspect

~

Open up your eyes!

Use the can opener in

your plague ship head box

shore leave is over

set a course and go…

Achtung! Bad Language

Sterne

 

 

Few bards & flunkies did once
tell of an old frying pan worked for London transport
till european mind held up his stagecoach…
We drove as if we had a puncture;
Dad trying not to blink, that man’s eyes
stuck in my head, which is where the story clunks ,
and any attempt to energize this fable
with something aromatic whiff of the nature
of articulacy and inheritance,
since he can well eulogize his own
excuses, you your own accommodation.
As it stands now if you still insist on resonance –
I’d swing for him, and every other cunt
happy to let my Django know his station,
which probably includes yourself. To be blunt.
