The Shaping Forecast

…& more sleep.

 

Got stuck in slough slow bowls,

a stray sky blue smurf sought my company;

fleeting scalpel sunshaft burst

fairly snapped me out.

 

Make decisions for soul provisions – finance pimples as ever.

Monday’s food is Sunday’s mood.

Trying to loosen, and keep loose,

neck and shoulders.

 

Right arm troubled.

Go with the pain, pleads the pain.

No dreams just fleeting night moods, wafts,

misted fiats coloured

greyblue, greenish, mushy.

 

Sea White

see-through shadows

Ectofilmstars;

uncast off, harboured beyond sleep,

half-waked.

Bay low voices mumble, whisper:

Get up and water the source

Scraped enough

 

together

for a pipe.

 

Skin wild.

Must shower & cream.

Day goes grey

 

Skin mild.

Did shower & cream.

Day goes by.

 

Forgot that my mornings

are now free of idiots,

especially Sunday idiots

like me

 

Test Match: Sunday Start Shock!

  • Sin against nature, I say…What, what?

Wrinkled Member explodes

in Long Room

Dull thud in Norwood

Nearly wakes the dead

& the living dead.

Sid crows, demi-dawn, cool night breeze folds,

falls from fan.

Remnants remain: crusted, polythene grass;

stale tobacco;

grand damned poems;

the truce is over, the murder is resumed.

Back to where it all began, square one squared,

one more dance, duplicated dalliance.

So the day is done. The same old same old

Step out hand in hand in

Vellum gloves

Quashed Tomato

Unreal night

blood damp black

on sun-drenched  grass.

No buttercups grow in

Iguana hours: stone dead cicadas

Pop! One more skin shed.

For sale:

A cider press;

Zealous owner.

 

Time thwitels away,

stops some clocks,

breaks all rocks.

Under moon

The garden blooms.

Thwarts & All.

A Beast

Goya_y_Lucientes_Francisco_de-Black_Paintings_Saturn_Devouring_One_of_his_Chidren

Starving

savaged anchovy,

ravaged dry

baguette,

tore off a sockful,

wrapped up shredded limb

 

A bloodless coup d’ pan complete…

till later:

 

Part-sated, basking in its modest cranny,

the predator lowers, rests ruminant,

still wanting, just waiting, inhaling, whittling.

…it ain’t no sin

The Poor Poet by Carl Spitzweg

 

The deep, odd, shock of it hit me in the sun

On the shed path, marooned on a concrete crack

Freed up took in the scene, shocked, turned;

Trundled, older, balder, back up the ramp

Freewheeled, calmer, silent, down the ramp

Came to rest beside the stable table,

Tossed my hair (singular) in the blue breeze

And wiped the puss from Barney’s weeping souls.

The moo-cows are gone home to roast

No more mutinous idiots barge in

Decide to play this game of life to win

Freaks out,

Cauli’s out early

too,

much ado

about garden,

inside

Chopin mazurks

On a croissant

Something lurks above

A dove with a glove

A weasel with an easel

In the murk…

Find a strange land,

concrete, not a fancy,

Not a nation,

 

Nor a state or both,

where confusion breeds

dissemblance and misery.

 

A realm glimpsed,

enjoyed only without torment,

or opposing the beast.

 

Secure and safe, warm and dry,

without fear or favour.

Impossible! That can never be.

Makes the sticks

The brickburner supplies the bricks.

a tin, eerie

bacolite mantle,

Syncopated Agatha;

Anglepoise, equipose,

Lachrymose quaques.

 

Crackle and ivory,

drum brush, Dapper Dan,

tuxedo, savoy, suave, class, pure class, lush…

 

rubber corsets on flaccid flappers,

inner tube condoms,

PJ Perelman, art deco, echo chamber

commemorations, abdications, league of nations,

pylon poets, silver screens, Teruel,

Abyssinia, King Zog, King Kong,

concierge, demi-urge, debutantes, ants-in-pants…

 

Popular Fronts, Fascist Cunts, Micky Mouse,

The uniformed doorman at the Picture House

Primo Carnero, Bonnie, Clyde, Lassie

Armstrong Siddeley, broken chassis

Spikes, louses, blouses, dames in trousers

 

Pathe  Newsreels, nudists, sandalled Buddhists,

Caddying for Tony Locke, spats, Schneider Trophy

No nightingales in Berkeley Square, just martingales,

 

 

 

 

 

Swamp Song

 

Untitled

 

…hear road spray surge

Saturday morning shipping

muggy, sticky, sweaty,

laurel oil shining

 

yellow, yellow flower,

slug and nomad,

fennel sags and drips,

splashing,

 

plushing the petrichor,

boney, stony, earthly delight

sigh and swoon

Sun and Moon
