The Man In The Mirror
I was on my way from the city where I studied to my hometown. In Augsburg I got off the train. There was still an hour left until the departure of the connecting bus. So I decided to visit the station restaurant.
After enjoying a cup of cappuccino and reading a newspaper, I went to the public toilet to freshen up. Washing my hands, I raised my head and looked into the mirror. To my surprise I spotted a man standing behind me. I was confused. Did I accidentally enter the men's restroom?
The leering grin that appeared on the man's face taught me better. Slowly I turned around and...

First Date
Off the vine ; very appealing.
She does not come apart.
Her wit is biting.
My wine spills.
Kisses my cheek, trying not to laugh.
That was twenty years ago.
It's only grapes.
She does not come apart.
Her wit is biting.
My wine spills.
Kisses my cheek, trying not to laugh.
That was twenty years ago.
It's only grapes.

Death Race
and they’ll say
haven’t you had enough?
(death and destruction)
(death and destruction)
to which I’d reply
not till they all reach the sky
so sit down
as we go for a hell of a ride
when I was alive
I tried to be the nice guy
was picked on
until I slicked my hair back
started wearing a leather coat
bought a ride the girls drooled over
was challenged to a drag race
couldn’t look week
so I said let’s ride
was head to head
until I went off a cliff and died

the future has stars in it
I see his indigo silhouette
a lonely astronaut
untethered
reaching for the man in the moon
Sometimes I wonder
if I just imagined him
treading dawn
as the electric dark
gives way to unholy sunshine
I'm learning to see
through the fire
and over the walls
but I'm numb to the inferno
that rages around us
heralding a future
we can't set right
I think he's got the right idea
my indigo astronaut
dialling off world in the hopes
the stars hold something more
for...

The Elfin Way
(A song by Poppy, accompanied on her fairy lute)
Beneath the trek to
Heaven and the highway to
Hell there is
The elfin way
Where no path leads
Catch it
Before dawn pales into light
Hold it
Where dusk snakes into dark
Follow no path
Where fairies dance and goblins grow their gold
We slither through wyld tangles
We vanish in wyrd mist
But you must
Feel wonder
Smell the sweet musk of awe
Taste enchantment on the tip
Of your tongue you must
For fear you will hear ...
Beneath the trek to
Heaven and the highway to
Hell there is
The elfin way
Where no path leads
Catch it
Before dawn pales into light
Hold it
Where dusk snakes into dark
Follow no path
Where fairies dance and goblins grow their gold
We slither through wyld tangles
We vanish in wyrd mist
But you must
Feel wonder
Smell the sweet musk of awe
Taste enchantment on the tip
Of your tongue you must
For fear you will hear ...

Latent Slip
I encouraged myself, and stuffed down my humility,
Venturing down the royal road.
I cannot say, and truth I swear,
Recall the forms and manifestations enough to profile.
I coined myself sheltered and, though modest I was in countering,
Transference became the most blinding against the dark.
The presentation was magnificent, but independent of the politics,
Desires bludgeoned the angel on my right.
The crystal top hat, of bridge resting width on my face,
Molded over the she-giant’s brow in lieu of shattering.
She welcomed me onto her ass’s...

Longing
A sleepless night begins, and, much like another
I crawl through the darkness as the mind sunders
Words are gone, horror a newfound companion
Until the dawn, it's a quest for a new oblivion
Silence is everywhere, a sight ever so solemn
In these times that oh so wish to be forgotten
Shaking, moving, quickly twisting, hastily breathing
Moans and begging, asking for a reply: but nothing.
Suddenly, a faint light. New odour. Invisible sight.
Rattling at the door of the spirit, with such might!
Transported to another land, I smile, and...

Deciduous
The jigsaw puzzle leaves
proves each tree believes
in this joyful game of life
the mystery of all things
An Impressionistic scene
of a watercolor so serene
the day is now painted
in its vibrant perfection
Still a mere blur to the eye
beneath a sapphire sky
these living days may pass
without a thought
Relentless hours ticking down
without making a sound
while calendars turn the page
the cycle reaches it repetition
Until each...

Pelion
Where once the proud towers stood
There stood at length and at last
Only ruin
Here and there remained somewhat
Stone on stone
Weathered more than worn
Turned dark and green by moss and stain
And damp
As if memory still sorrowed here
Alone
When all else lay forgot
Yet
So elemental
The stillness itself was imbued
With the power to evoke
That which words could not put to name
And feelings alone disclose
What piercing eye can glance to see
What lies beyond all distance
Indeed ...
There stood at length and at last
Only ruin

So elemental

Found Scrawled Across an Instrument of Occultic Practice
This astrolabe has measured out
My days in damned astrology
The turning of its golden hands
Riposte to pure theology

In The Depths Of The British Museum
in the depths of the British Museum,
in a small basement, largely neglected,
lie bronze, papyrus and bacteria,
packed in crates, unopened, undetected...
there is one, beneath the rest, wherein lies
a corpse, bequeathed in 1893...
it is forgotten and unclassified,
donated, it seems, anonymously...
****************
he was a keen butterfly collector,
he grew lavender and came from Provence...
and why he was left to the museum
had all to do with these sunflowers, once...
