Carnage

 

2262504830_4348cb10ea_n

 

Slice up bloody oranges

two four six eight sanguine smiles…

 

aluminum aluminium

lapis lazuli corpus

tinctured

sink top

lays down cool pedestrian

altar piece groove

sacrifice limbs & digits

 

deafly unwielding rustic

ludic breadknife

to serrate jagged

bedraggled Sevillians

 

garish gumshield

quartered segments

skin & pith intact

snaffled up cutish

tense borne by bent paw

over chasmic chasm

 

The sure chariot passes

Imperious, regal, sublime

above vile

sundry understuffs

Abysmal  unmentionables,

Microbial, teeming tootsies

strewn obscenely

About the titan grey floor

 

swaddled one of my heads in

bindweed, strangulating

taut lime shoelace gristle,

heat seeking drowsy

missile, destination

compost

 

amygdala sun spot

erupts in symmetry

down in dingly dell

WaTerfEll

330px-Riesenfenchel

 

Six (eventide in I trust)
Grapewater bombs burst
Shaking densest undergrowth
—olive dark gloss blubs
Green lilac preens, cushioned bramble
Shakes it off like sorrow
Enlivened torso swells
Deuterium showers gel
From a dry spot running water
Fills an aluminium basin
Drain clogged up by scraps
Dirty spoon spadework

Want! What do I want?
Came as a shock clean out of
Pretty much nothing
Like an asteroid
Fairly blew me away though
In the blink of an eye
Shadow of what was
No not a shadow
There is no sunlight

Write about something
What…& there’s food
Food sighs lists mean choices
Think imagine remember
Something nice on offer
Stock answers ten years
As if I can remember
After that deluge

The Surgical Spirit of Joy

piles

More murky murk

Mufti wades through grey

Morning Match of Day

No blocked beds

Must scrub up

Ready for Theatre

Trumpy McTrumpface

Trumpy McTrumpface stood on a wall
Trumpy McTrumpface sped to a fall
All the Thing’s Horses
& All the Thing’s Men
Will not put Trumpy
Together again…

No witness

was made available

To participate

in the witness protection

Programme.

Fish fled for the coast

Mendacity stalked the land

Never criticise

what you don’t understand

Pull the other one

Britain should leave Britain

Candle on, rain shrewd,

meat pie and two veg,

suppress urge to chew,

black and white movie:

Séance on a Wet Afternoon

Winzerschla(R)fenziet…(proLonged)

unnamed

 

(Ger) splat! punk severn zum eleven
(neiLs BoRe)…& so on & so forth all long legrooM
Punctuated sous: bouts of mictuRition,  coffee de foi’ graze
atom puff & gripe water, sucks on sparse menthol vape, meandering
through cruel channel & guides in search of?
Something beyond my control—I am not
Who I was & am what I am·(?)
Winzerschlafenziet they call it sometimes
In obscurantist circles:
Crimson sheets barely tell untruth
blue tip of the icebreaker snides
Crashing through pack mice whinging
& all night teleshopping seeing the sea breaking up…

Most Peculiar Twelvemonth

Midnight Lamp

grimbeau's avatarGrimbeau

Barney wags its tail

Immediately aware

Good dog got bad name

Chance of snowfall further south

Undercarriage dandruff fleets

Breezily past window

Blowin all away

In the windy wind

The Mork & Mindy wind

Most peculiar twelvemonth

Churching the Fish

grimbeau's avatarGrimbeau

It’s quarter past four…

The last machine is

Nearly done spinning

‘Beware of the hums’

The Ice-cream man Comet

Some shit by Mozart

The day’s getting grey

A white cabbage patch

Butterfly avoids

An insistent barrage

‘The hums are dumb, son’

Parched Earth Policy

Midday at the oasis
Watched civilisation end
No milk came today
Eleven o’clock onslaught
Autonomous movement
Of the non-living
Equestrian statuettes
Prance macabre pirouettes
Strung out on redeye
Monday teatime debacle
Pollutes dusk’s tranquility
High time for a shower
Contribute to drought

Glee!

33

 

 

Bravado, bravura, gusto, pesto, Monte Bisto…
Playthings of the Western World
Cocky. That’s the word—
Cocky.
Panache & aplomb
I grant you, rarely palatable
in very small doses.
~
Turn off, drop in, chill out…
Clive James back on the acid
Tongue-lashing vitriol
Not a pretty sight!
I’m late, I’m late; for
a very important date
sea change in self-esteemery
clinging onto flimsy scenery.

~
Sprinkle of
nacreous sky soot,
scant exotic powdering,
brisk flurry of snow
more like dusting or sprinkle
alpine dandruff—
air pollution probably
(thine first exchange of the day—
four hours just being in time,
pottering, sitting, staring,
listening, scribbling, smoking,
stretching, worrying, sighing
catching myself on

Doing me incidentals
mindful after the fashion—
boring ‘ere innit?

What you got?
Coffee
&?
Home entertainments
To pass away
Spend time with
Total abandon…
Preoccupation:
Snow, Snow, Snow…
Silhouette lighthouse strobes
Quick, quick slow flashes
Edward Schismhands
Working double quick, quick slow
The Sabre Dance delivers me
Into lofty ruminations
Shaggy dog stories
Fake Jews, Sheiks & Soundbites

Is you fit for public consumption? Yes
Would you pay to read it? No
So why mention it?
Kills time I suppose
Inbetween pressing engagements
With banality, frippery, frivolity
Vive la Brac-a-Bric!
