Snitch
Up at the crack of doom and so it pours,
acrid quicklime, gregarious sash window,
drone buzz, sable confetti, nasal toot,
sootfall, gasp, volume, mass. What folly, what
pulchritude, what bafflement. Life was a
giant veiny nose, a red herring, a
wanton flop. So be it. Que Sera, Sera.
Horace Day, Matt Busby, James `The Fact` Durante…
pock dugout, dabbed down and dusted copious
cloud of potassium permanganate,
spotlighted by Lazarus, light reveals
white head and lost tribe of Erin: Quilty’s Pals.

Celeste regressed…
Stop making scents,
tincture your sphincter with
perfidious salve,
snort pulverised juniper,
sweat quinine ampules…
another one soon
stifled in shallow,
lifeless cant.
Too late for love,
like the vestibule
catastrophe nook.
A broken swan
negotiating
burning boats,
safe in a synthesized,
furless chrysalis.

jute fruit (polka)
To dotage an
antidote:
threat & hope
weave and knit
a knot
night of dark
sun
measly done
think if you
fit in to fit
pre-shrunk
siege modality,
a beige mentality
the new banality –
Temporality

Nip
chill,
wet first frost
rest thin little
finger on a pin,
four wet angels
shimmer
in
salt
spill

Seeing Things
kept from the saddle by sleep and cider,
nestled in this cluttered room, this dimlit
hibernation station, wallow fallow in
the gathered gloom, the afternoon moon
this is the time for those who dream in daytime,
those who gather and hunt, those who like me
watch from windows, making shade from shadow,
form from substance, the things that dreams are made on.

Scrumpled
Food and sleeep…plenty sheep,
mission creep, wake in heap,
hot as hades, full of faeces,
dogs got scabies, I got rabies,
woke up screaming,
toxic dreaming,
brutal creaming,
search for meaning,
diagnosis,
clear neurosis

for her
She got seen like
Clytemnestra
a knowing smile
a complex gesture

Damasque
spherical conical cubicles, glass
rubric creatures, wanton quantum climber
guttersnipes, elide chandelier longroom
crystalline, horse-long gazes, old rotters
frilled and crimped, clacking tutting ruddy rouged
snotters grope fey wan dull ruff pomander gals
guillotinable beaus prance too-polished
honey chestnut rink slick oblong cakewalk shute
snooped by crack silk crimped black witch dowager
madames as boozy, & gout-struck porcine slobs
burping wallow in the whorehouse stable slops

Sophist
The Vulture Man’s
a shallow fellow,
his words well said,
his thoughts chrome yellow
