Ashes to Ashes
Ongoing natter
random chronic gibberish
still work in progress
virgin walnut oil
unhurried lapping
waters flow uphill
Ongoing natter
random chronic gibberish
still work in progress
virgin walnut oil
unhurried lapping
waters flow uphill
Pinnate shadows cast
fingers monochrome gloveless
casablanca mornings
under pergola
down the hangover market
unquenchable thirst fat man
intelligence like marble
solid cold & hard
Now
you are
getting into it
shit it went again
in the blink of a blink of
a blink of a blink
the blink
of an
I
ornery sniper
phlox magenta fingernails
telescopic sites
hatless in Brussels
some neutralised citizen
dragged away limp
Gethsemane, Gethsamane
One fore you and one for me
Somewhere near the River Lee
First thing in the morning
Scrunching tinnies in a bush
Fishers fishing without luck
Throw your face down in the muck
First thing in the morning
Gethsemane, Gethsemane
Is there honey still for tea
First thing in the morning

Too cold to shower just yet—
perhaps later, eh?
For what purpose do
we owe this visit?
Warmth & ambiguity?
Sorry, we are busy now
Improving our mindfulness
Down in A & E
Listening to Monsters of Uselessness
Sharing what helps them sleep nights
Practising no more than what
the heavenly hour permits
Weasel words spill out the chine
Mickey-taking sophists whisper
Sour nothings in the ear.
When water walks and sunshine showers
Blossom on sad earth
The chastised winter will concede
Ground to spring hastening
Blue dismembered times of mirth
