i think of creaky floorboards and dust risen
and piano echoing gooey notes
and pairs of footsteps
swaying in time
hands raised to meet the other
somewhere below the buttery lamplight
the first moments of rest of lives
begun in each others eyes

40 40 i free all
dominant 7th changed to something needy
half laid upon by a scraped red waterfall on the pasta plate
tapping my nails sounds like plastic
base reflux trampoline diaphragm
bouncy chalk powder pash
autumn in the wind blowing the year by

my mind pushed through the cheese
of those sandwiched days
maybe i am all the things i hoped i was not
instead in shorts in the wet wind
throwing a ball to a big and little cat
a sky roars high above
who am i alone to whoever in company
or separate by circumstance
to myself a togetherness as tight but dense as carpet
my eyes want to roll as far back to look inward
but they only get as...

apathy slapping me up and down the wall
dont leave a message dont even call
ignore my applause
dont break the fourth wall
we see crystal clear but the glare is in our eyeballs
held back by fears
paralysed by jeers
sniggers and sneers
dont clap just slap your paws together
the letter of the law spellbinding like wizards
cut through the tether with your own pair of scissors

the wind was blue
the sky blew
clouds foamy as shampoo
and though they spoke
in gusts of vowels
it was in riddles without clues
sometimes the gusts would howl
and when the sleeping fogs awoke
they left the ground and flew
silent as an owl
drenched in smoke

im staying up late
to roll on a plateau of yawns
and shiver through old thoughts
watching the moon hum its way
through the vinyl of the night sky
like most nights that are mine
even on new moons
or crescents that dip behind sheds
on songless nights
hushing out from the cadence of day
the drone of silence tunes itself

Rivalry
i spelled out new words
walking in circles around the kitchen floor
the first prize would be a pack of maltesers
lobbed through the air to either of our desks
it would come down to words like
dodecahedron rhinoceros or luminescent
words i walked through and chanted
as if they were as simple as om
when friday came i kept chanting
the bell rang out before either of us faltered
then as...

Strumming
in the plumbing of pipe dreams
something drumming rhythm to rhyming
a sun beam beaming bright light through prism
but a dumbing down turns words of wisdom to blind dithering
a mind withering
like bite from bitter lime and lemon zing
division bell knell rung down from high ceiling
the hard sell of heaven and hell indecison between two schisms
seems difficult to tell a tale without tripping...

La Mer
at swim in sea of delirium
diving into endolphins
a slip jig sluicing into white waves
birds overhead dove down
and plucked notes from a tremolo of splashes
fulmar violin seagull viola albatross cello
a flying flotilla of sound awoke
as the sun yawned through clouds
and stretched across the blue gas of sky

The Railway Bridge
he was going to bring me fishing
on the railway bridge
i had never fished before
but he said he would make some rods
from sticks and rope in the shed
she wouldnt let me go
barely able to stand and walk let alone on those tracks
hed let me fall and drown in the river
she would keep saying
he made his way back downtown for the night

live long and prosper
but i heard it as a chinese whisper
got it wrong or miscon-
strudeled the words
dough re mi fa so longevity
cut short by the breadknife of brevity
grief and strife a blessing from hell
or a curse from the heavenly
whats worse i cant tell if theres a difference
in the end we all mow down the flower beds
in this garden of rememberance

as sand shivered beneath rose clouds
as waters green and blue mixed in my eyes
tomorrow today and forever all at once
took the breathing mind breath away
in liquid waves a movement painted ink
upon my rolling cubes of vision
a climbing sound loosened into
the swoop of notes elasticated downwards
and slowed into a steady coo
as petals fell from flowerbed of sky
and landed on the laughing...

Quiet Out
ennui tough and chewy
so hard to digest
all sinewy and fibrous
and rough around the edges
i try to dip it in this brew of restlessness
but its like drinking too much coffee
thoughts are going nowhere
but go there energetically
in encores of no-shows
that one note stuck
in stagnant staccato
that low hum from a fat cello
or that bereft bellow
from a bass drum
that nothing of...

two swans fly fast overhead
towards the red sun
wide wings drumming the warm air

i saw the clouds sneak up
and gorge on the moon
digesting it down to coffee colours
as cats argued along the alley
by the gardens of rhubarb
one footstep walked away from the other
where am i on a late night of billows?
but going nowhere lightly singing
a whisper wired to a voice
settling on the dry orangelit ground behind me
the cats ran away together

i spoke in avocados
nerves and heat combined
and all the world sewn into breezeblocks
wet light slapping windows
a past that orbited future
and came and went from me
with doppler farewells
that stretched to fabric and tapestry
to wrap me up
within my own story

below creamy winter clouds
jitters in minute key
translated back to a long wavelength
a hum inside of my head
counted in by a pulse
counted out by the rolled carpet of breathing
not to attempt a jump fortitude
of either outcome a banquet thought between
as rain pours in citrus
plashing the seesaw of my step

door swung open to a wooden yawn
taking sitting room wind in behind it
to sigh through walls and windows
ablaze thickly crayoned
sweet pink evening a sky unspun
sunset hoovering a warm night
twelve cheap chocolate bars on the table
my toes grasped into the give of the lino floor
as thoughts coughed and sneezed
amid badminton of laughter

car tyres glazed over wet roads
velcro sounds and applauding leaves
sunlight bouncing everywhere
when i saw you on the other path
in relaxed footsteps
hair singing each note the wind blew through it
i saw every moment distill itself
as if air hardened to ethanol
it was a cold morning
you still knew me by my jacket
our waves blended to tai-chi smoothness
your gas flame eyes

Lidling
throwing lids
uncle ben and dolmio lids
like small frisbees
or shuriken
the park hill from the very top
thrown with a snap of fingers and thumb
a wicked spin that sang in the air
we would stretch like gymnasts to try and catch
each hovering twirl overhead
kids and dogs watched on
mothers squinted
one throw went away too far
and landed in a rattle
by the feet of a small old couple

all my words fall flat
like the writings on the wall
but falling down or vandalised
watch it succumb to the gravfiti
of the leaden white paint lies
watch close and you can see it splat on the floor
like someone sat on a toilet
or made a squat and shat all over it
but thats just shite talk right ?
aint but a bit of bread and butter
or a bad loaf of brown bread scutter

Poem: Flight
this time a year ago
sitting
my mind slow dancing
with the lateness of the night
silent
watching the airshow
of two moths
high in the sky of my room
headbutting the naked bulb

Poem: Bog Work
there were only the sounds
of my breath in the morning air
falling upon steep sides of damp peat
like miniature cliffs
hanging over deep water
the colour of cognac
i stood in front of the sun
warming and stretching
donning yellow gloves
as the hoarse cackle
of tractor and trailer
came from far down
the mohawk road

Poem: And This Like Any Other
and this like any other
sat in the air of a cold
crow’s morning
this set of eyes
wide as a long yawn
blinking on settled sights
a sounded smile to myself
talks a tapestry
but a flat feeling
mosses the words

POEM
raindrops mumbling down glass
some flare up from far away streetlight
others join together as if it were love
i used to be a lake
where old men sat on blue boats
i used to be a river
that got angry at times
i used to be a puddle
i lost my brothers and sisters
as they soaked into the shoelaces of a kid
who wasn’t looking where he was going

signets swimming in river
with mother
ducks and seagulls
surrounding and fussing
over these babies
and father in fighting stance
one signet
hops on mothers back
and pokes his fuzz head
through her feathers
to make
a two headed swan
the others get jealous

Think of Me In Dim Light
think of me in dim light
when the dark of night
confuses me with him
think of me in times of mystery
as if i were a whim
think of me should you let go
of everything you hold
think of me as hanging on
to something that is old
think of me the way you did
as if right now is gone
think of me then and now
think of me on and on
i think of you in dim light
when the dark of night
