Hurricanoes
Canoes & kayaks hurry past
buffeted by cataracts
in search of sweet asylum
way beyond a joke
a trope
a paradigm
nature’s cracking up
so it would appear
is everything else

Scary Old Sketchbook
Pallid wan shrouded
Lucid nacreous calico
Cauled mirrored fetch
Spectral living ghosts emerge
Perusing your back pages

Jellyroll
I smoked some grave ass
Damaged the thick glass
Of my cartoon eye lash
So did Gunter Grass
He was good, dontya thinks?
knifing slivery eelsguts
in a Kitchen Sink

Direction of Travel
Private versus public grief.
Rolling home
in the dark alone
slagging of my footwear

Archibald
‘He showered
he shaved,
he came back from the grave.
Lazarus…
Lazarus…’
~
The daily drudge is on.
Walk away, walk away.
Up and down the garden path
fetch your underwear.
Walk away, walk away
One step, two step…
collapse on the prickly pear.
Walkaway, walkaway
~
‘Sea above us,
sky below,
we’re upside down,
head to toe!’

Dock of the Bay
Ate cake before bed,
coffee found congealed
intact, redeemable: stirred,
revived, microwaved.
Stay of execution granted
Just three hours before deadline –
brutal brinkmanship
orders from the DA
reprieved to death row
there’s no place like home
green, green grass
to touch, taste, smell
Each dawn I live.

Dub
Russet bricks, light fey blue cuck egg skies
Oriflamme sunrise through filthy back window
Faucet drips, wight torched grip Stilson prize
washer wither bold teardrops cease back window
Cannibalised urchins make best of bad deal
Promiscuous disposal dub scum back window
Gorged cheese door step warm ale Pied Pig
Wards and watchers hoist petards by back window
‘We bury them at sea to stop grave hoppers’
Called a spade choice digging ornate back window
St. Giles, Drury Lane, Houndsditch, Liberties
Uber links death carts rollick rumble back window
Linen footpads pilfer sundry freebies
Despatch covert trunks to hell in handcart past back window
