autumn infestation
house spiders
fucking shower spiders
everywhere
look like
hallucinations
fight like wrestlers
run like cowards
jump like street kids
squash like innocents
why have you got to make me
so guilty
i only wanted to kill you
why did you
run away from me
so
fucking speedily
before i could get the jam jar
& a postcard
because i had a fucking
change of fucking heart
fucking shower spiders
everywhere
look like
hallucinations
fight like wrestlers
run like cowards
jump like street kids
squash like innocents
why have you got to make me
so guilty
i only wanted to kill you
why did you
run away from me
so
fucking speedily
before i could get the jam jar
& a postcard
because i had a fucking
change of fucking heart

catharsis
told you
I'd written you a poem
knew you wouldn't like it
I read it aloud
each word
like a slash across
your cheekbones
the hurt from your eyes
punching needles
into my veins
lord knows I
needed this.
thanks,
cunt
for everything

[citizenship]
old ladies
I love 'em
& their medicine cabinets
(guy down the road
with cancer
won't be needing
all them pills
surely)
car parks
I love 'em
& the opportunities for
mindless crime
they offer
(fuck you and your
fucking mini)
most of all what I love
what I love best in the world
is irony
(or is it cognitive dissonance)
either way I remembered
to give the shot CCTV
a two finger salute
laughing with a slack jaw
keeping my feet
on the turntable

[you still have options]
I am such a child.
touch, & run away
I am comprised of loose-fitting
ledge-sitting eyeballs, Peter Pan
knees that wish for wings to fly
Pendulum heels knocking
back & forth
treading water where there is none.
My elbows shake with laughter
at the funnybone joke of it
I know armbands of the brand I wear
cannot hope to keep me afloat
but are they heavy enough
to drag me
kicking & screaming
all the way down?
Tonight I will pray to empty space
& call it God
telling him I don't want to...

Sandal's Lament
oh, no honey
& if it were possible
I sunk even further
feeling the soft touch of
cotton lycra
on my thin summer sole
(Show your Sole competition entry)

They Are In Love.
still
nothing can escape the fact
his new wife
looks a lot like his dead one
it eats at his stomach
& his children & he
both see ghosts in their whiskey

I Never Wanted to be a Poet
(quick draft)
I'd rather have been
a muse
I'd rather be the bloodred
love full stroke on the canvas
than a plain old painter;
do you see
I'd prefer to be a shining
selfdestructing inside burning
drop in the sky
than a stargazer-
do you understand?
That I wanted to be the fire & the ice at the same time
and burn myself into a puddle
snow woman suicide heart

therapy
....& what then?
do I settle into
work
friends
family
lovers?
do you think I will have children one day?
(I consider it cruel enough
That I carry my genes)
No-- no,
not for the likes of us
was life invented
we shun it completely, & for such length of time
as we can bear
we write poems

HELP
-this is a cry for help.
so long since I felt the edge of a blood-slicked razor's tongue
cutting me like a critic
so long since the deeper hues of forgotten gasped their way to the surface & choked
gills flapping in the crosswind
washed up
on the shitty shore of reality
my puppet strings are slackening
so if I'm short of thought because
the ink I used to write in has run dry
what harm can it do to dip my fingertips in the River Styx
just one more time ...
