Tim’s Home

as I write tim is
re-entering mother earth’s
outer atmospheres
wave a nice hello

Wes Montgomery
brings out the lounge lizard in me
it is late summer
overlooking Miami beach
thunderbirds crawl curbs
cruising palm lined palisades
we prefer Kent to Winston
all the colour footage lost
its integrity
over exposure they reckoned
just these few black & white negs
to recapture the smell of hope
we knew it could not last long
deep down in our heart of hearts
just glad this survived
Dog keen to bursting
Movement yields results
Night gives way to day
Outside it is unraining non stop.
Grabbed about five for Lethe.
Dreams go west with light.
Stop reading everything straight
away with a view to a kill;
always at fives & sevens.
There are other numbers.

…Paranoid Android, Foo Fighters,
Karl Marx & Loop News –
What did you dream of?
Media blackout for three hours –
death pronounced at one-fifty:
death announced at five-fifteen
Quite a little woman Jo Cox
Pick on someone your own size
Open the curtains tv flickers
optical illusion on shrubs
dawn chorus stops to nourish
two more motherless children

Another four in
the morning get up & grope
about for my face
lost before society
to rampaging pacoderms
during mama’s confinement

man elephant man
elephant ma elephant
me elephant ma
the weight of my head kills me
sleep propped up or snap your neck
