Hand in Glove in Hand

BRICKS

 

 

Handless in daylight,

dumbed up,

heavy eyed,

slumped posturelessly:

Thinking crafting…

 

Dreams all smoke and needles.

Warm hot drink in the dark of dawn.

Pink blue grey shadow:

dark orange glow of cold red brick.

Opposite

 

Car crusted:

Sea salt white sand on metal green frozen kelp.

Neat work by near clear

night.

 

Tongue twisted morning garglers

dash the mirror. Cough &

splutter.

 

Showers follow borne

by

Wind from a cold place

 

 

 

Bird of Cowardice

The mob has gone.

Bob is making

rolls with sausages in them.

 

A thirty four is shut: northward bound.

Wish I was a Phoenix.

Certainly can: Can-can

Rain.

Poll & Nob been and gone.

Sloth sleeps so no shouts.

Me: wetsuit gloved, coffeed up, watched replays of yesterday and now:

what?

Dog just barked, commode getting wet by coalhole.

-Wannawork?

-Should really. Falling behind. Angsty.

Something about green gauze bugs me.

Cannot spell chrysanthemuns.

Can you? Smart, uh.

Miss call: med at four-thirty,

crying along to baby blue,

dead time.

 

Weeping real tears,

old voices of old friends in the messenger,

dead romans,

 

Nile vipers, alabaster elephant pups;

dimwit twisted garrets,

dimlit deep sea divers,

 

cement boots, aquarium skidlids.

Down the lane

at the hanged man’s house

wild beasts drive,

 

whistle in the woods,

absinthe oglers

naked ladies

paddle in Pull-in’s Pond.

 

Tears stream down cheeks,

bandanas lattice plaits of stars,

milky ways of cast off

unravelling cloth.

 

 

Acknowledge the bible

scribblers on the credits,

disappointed briefs

 

and wiseacres arrange things

good and proper…warm blooded nappies charm the sinews,

joints glow:

 

perhaps a cosy nap

before crisp morning

cracks the whip.

 

 

 

Dukkha

As if

 

 

 

people

 

 

 

have

 

 

 

nothing

Still Life

...the sun also rises

 

 

On her veranda

a landowner

Exhales

…a gust of codeine cloud

On Parrot Woods West

where buggy water

sits stale

on crowded crow dead flats

a sun limps homeward

wounded in windless

sheeting mist

Bards often write verses

For others in hearses

 

Snack Attack

There was a bulimic called Shirley,

Who lived in a folly in Purley,

Crept down late one night

Without a hall light

And got mugged by

a large Curly Wurly

A meticulous poet is Motion

Looked deeply at cheap suntan lotion

He rubbed it all in

O’erlooking his chin

Now shaving is fraught with emotion

POV

Pablo Picasso, Retrato de Dora Maar Sentada (1937)

Had a jar with Dora Maar

thought

She’s not like how she’s painted

A two-faced bitch’s a trifle rich

Still,

Her reputation’s tainted
