Earthly Delights
proper poems are
imaginary gardens
chock full of real turds
disgusting imagery
sprayed on by skunkheads
fucked with by vandals
dripping like condoms
after april showers

Flesh Trade
That’s that out of the way for another
year, thank god, anything good on? Repeats.
Surprise, surprise. It’s a wonderful life.
Gone with the wind. The great escape.
Born free two. Follow the yellow brick road
Out of Africa…

Antiquarian Homesick Truths
Den in aftermath
wireless voices
reunion of disability warriors
talking glory days of yore
the last of the existentialists
recorded for posterity.

If so I misheard der noose today
yer hoody gnu in
sinuatin’ down the old berg
crow scrapin’ on a genome
prasin’ sodden cotton holly hocksters
streaking creamy curves suspensless in densedreek

On Jung’s Porch
everything comes to
those who can be bothered
to make the effort
crashed out on Jung’s Porch
gazing up at the upside down
welcome mat above the door
so you’ve got to think
upside down to make it out
Your visions will become clear
only when you can look
into your own heart.
Who looks outside, dreams;
who looks inside, awakes.
– Carl Jung

life is too short.
When books are too short,

Hairy Times
Walk and sit
in the sun thinking
it’s a year since my last haircut.
The garden is at the same stage:
Trees in blossom, primroses in flower
Walk back humming Déjà vu
Almost cut my lawn
More bloody repeats!
Hoe, Hoe! Groundhog Day
