Last night’s feast for lunch instead, postponed due

to pork pies. A Quiche! Bless you. Shrove

next Tuesday. Easter April Five. Another

forty days & forty nights wilderness.

Invert and live in lushious luxury!

The Jolly Messiah, rollicking cove

frolicsome, flatulent, Fallstaffian

Game for a laugh. Fat cross bum. Floozies seep

with laughter. Knickerpissing! Raus, Raus.

Crucifixion riot. Festival of the oppressed.

Why waste carnival on the cold months?

Turn the world upside down in Spring.

Wrecking Ball

After the ball bounce

Ricochets back between eyes

Reeling in the ears

Stumbling, rumbling, thundering

Tenements lack confidence

Disorientated

 

Blitzed, razed,

Untenable

Ruins

Sigh out Loud

 

The urge to destroy is a

Creative Fiction

Born of turbulence

&

Friction

 

Dereliction of solemn

Duty.

Developers pursuing

Booty

 

 

Meat is Murderous

Goat’s eye moon subsides

Something for the weekend

 

The Poet

A mere commode…

 

So go to

work on a leg,

or,

better still,

two.

 

Plumb

the crumbliest,

Flakiest

confection

in the world

 

it does what

it says

on the tin:

 

Authentic

Teak

Go on,

Try it!

 

Yes, you can

‘All the best poets are in advertising’

i heard a flanneur say

so i put him in the compost

and I’ll bury him in May

 

Jaded Phalange

Four in the morning;

radio off.

Silent sleep till…

Listful, churning daybreak

 

Nina ticks the boxes: arms,

Legs, eyes, souls all present

Incorrect but nonetheless…

 

Moon waiting, peeved, tapping

On the hollow roof, leaning on stack

And ridge tiles like a lazy bailiff

 

Time for mass critical

Time to bind leviathan

With mistletoe and

Gossamer cupidity

Opening Contraband to Steam Radio

Icky

scatty playful stuff

re-upholstered  Chesterfield

smell of damp camphor

we gathered round to listen

to desert island dusk’s waves
