The Lie of the Land

Eight_Bells

 

Half man: half musket

Was not was

Noisome

Stroke me branches crest the lawn,

Attracting glances beside

the splendiferous alpine experience.

A dog cocks its leg on the ugly plastic herb cover.

The  tiger glows under the daffodil.

Aphids pester gannets

Thrashing in mild dark.

Slow is what it is.

The cream is questionable,

but I have no fear

cautiously prizing the lid

finding caramel and semen.

The red rubber band

on the pastry

turned blue in the freezer.

I leave the door open

to help it find room temperature.

Old Bar Stewards

 

Albert Einstein sticks his tongue out to photographers in 1951

Music soothes the savage breast.

Death Metal springs to mind.

Put on your rusty chain mail vest.

Go find an axe to grind.

Roaring to the chemist

On your zimmer frame

The traffic cops then did you

For pissing in a drain

Fined or sent to prison

Condemned to spend your time

Moaning at the bus stop

It never leaves on time.

Treasonable Doubt

Amyl

 

Here comes the sun to have a laugh,

a snigger, a check it out, a gloat at

little lives playing themselves out in safe,

unhappy scripts:

polishing, dusting, painting crypts.

Rolling tiffs, thinking cliffs, wind blowing quiffs,

In skipper’s beards, fucking weird.

And I sit in judgement. How fucking weird is that?

 

 

Faulk

faulk

 

all that water

under the bridge

avoiding

the swim

you cannot

bathe in

the same river

once

 

Feed the Head

In the sugar hole

prized out last remaining twix

hopeful of some oomph

 

The Obtuse Circumstance

800px-France_in_XXI_Century._Whale_bus

 

Pickled punchy

Monday morning sot

K2 ascension

trudge and huff.

 

Wind blusters, gusting away

remnants of claggy, stubborn night.

Wolf pack rampant roadmap

eyeballs throb in misty mirrror.

 

Brain damage limitation.

Fromage  marshmallow ganglia.

Camembert opaque frosted

Yellow day.

 

Insurgent tree surgeons

gather storm broken

eucalyptus limbs.

Big cavernous rumbles.

 

Apple tree crumbles.

Head waiter fumbles,

stumbles, tumbles.

The tray vibrates

 

gawky albatross libations

part company with host,

comic crash slapstick pratfall

radical payload scatters

 

huddled throng,

babbling surprise looks on aghast,

desultory fat barman

fetches bucket and mop,

 

mumbling vacuous

‘Sorriesirs, Moddoms…’

glaring doom on prone

crone squirming,

 

yelping victim

plaintive noises,

just made jobless

in gin and debris.

Panacea

 

plague jar

 

 

Morphine notches up another brother,

Another sister, father, mother as I sleep

The sleep of the dead

They still feel pain

All we feel is betrayal and loss

sad small children

Eating messy candyfloss

 

 

Scriptic

basquiat-bird-of-paradise

 

chilling on a Friday night,

leaning,

preening

running down an empty street,

blindfold,

screaming

waiting by a waterfall,

fearless,

dreaming

standing in the summer sun,

precious,

beaming

Roadhouse Chic

Midnight:

The Noasis Lounge

Steel water side

Mercury safe

Clandestine

Legumes

Smoke

 

Slow vermillion

endoplasm

Indigo

moonlit spook

glides homeless

rest rooms

weeping

stones

Flummery Murl

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

Curfew run

Live lung livelong play:

In a light brown rugger ball

brute jute ugly fruit persiflage

Blistering, heinous, fun

On the third stone from

A bluer sun we call

The True Sun
