Psyche

Eternal prisoners

Far wandering souls

Glowing phosphor essences

Cheap tricks of the light

Shadows of evening

Ever receding

Memories of you

Bony Joni Genius

Cantankerous harridan

scultpted neolithic jaw

face  plentifully overstuffed

angel voiced choir

sings:

‘never judge a cover by it’s book

we all stand alone together’

Zak Mould

Still farting around

unsettled, fidgety,

detached, remote?

Then go take Dump!

Tick the Box!

Sign out!

*

Hazy murk soon spreads,

dampens the daylight,

giant hogweed encroach

harbouring malicious intent

*

You to blister, to paralyse,

to analyse stragglers,

scantily clad day-trippers,

pale gormless nudists,

innocent blithe minors,

demented wayward majors.

 

*

Normality is resumed at last.

The regular service

The bland repast.

A strict diet of worms and woodlice.

The occasional festive

peppering of capers.

Stuffed Olives if you’re lucky.

*

So, go Squawk

Scrabble and squabble

for scraps cooped up in your hovel.

Grovel for a drop to drink

acknowledging your unworthiness

with ingratitude and contempt.

Break Out Day

Vibrant dawn dazzles

Pitch bone slate lamp nightdreamers

Eyeblink shadows flit

Earlybirds dart brisk alert

Incanted day arrives

Perfect golden light

Rakes tree leaf and bark

Hope springs all prisoners

Mother Worth

See her swinging

Her stark agenda

Brenda the Bonzai

Smoothing lamb

Whistling avocado dips

through Aubergine lips

Punk pastel smoke grey light

Gives cover to vultures

Stuffing pitta pockets

Full to bursting

With faberge nosegays

Others grab shawls for

Obscene daughters

But Brenda

Agenda bender

Mate of Zenda

Stands firm

Gives no truck

Not a tuppenny fuck

To the down by luck

The money lender

Runs begging to Brenda

 

Larkin’

They’ll bite your bum, the posh, the scum

& leave you blistered, black and brown

seeking out asylum

*

killing smiles say voodoo child, say wait a while

redacting files the crocodile smiles

mumbling quick ‘I’m sorries’

*

to what? to whom? the empty cell

the vacant room, closer to the tomb than womb

gazing at the morning

Snooze

Afternoon sister

Leaning dogs snore gentle tunes

Whispers shudder warm

A Busy Schedule

Today I shall drink nettlejuice

Lick and kiss dock wine flutes

Hiss sharp bliss, chew thumper bap, ooze Lollard grunge

Make steady progress to embrace

A beggar never sacked just

Falsely accused

A trumped up gluepot of chimera

Indeed

Perfidy dishonours advertising

Four dour horsemen get bushwhacked

By renegade chimps in titfers

Another perfect virtuous circle

Dodo

Enough is enough

Sad facts are to be faced up

Like stained cracked mirrors

as when sun subsides

or when

all days are none

 

 

Take Funf

joyce

 

On a stick

An ashplant

We all rest a while

With a smile

And some guile

‘bout the road before

Think a while

For a while

When our mind

Has gone

Faraway

Countrymile

We may smile
