no prisoners
dear god spin round
oh you have too many faces
made in the image of
unworthy
i fear for
both
please die my love
and keep us safe
i knew not
and did he ever
think
sometimes
the child drowns
and the witch floats
sometimes
the eyes smile
sometimes
they
fade
it is the city i fear
it is my home
it is my body i fear
it is the look in their eyes
it is the infectious
and o
abuses
of this ragged tongue
that...

Oh you try so hard
think fast
move slow
that’s the way the penny rolls
ding dong
witch is dead
forget me not
red dead Fred
hold tight
give it up shot
Sympathy is what you got
Read more
Listen less
(Listening will cause you stress)
Wake up
Settle down
Merrily merrily merry go round
New phone, who dis
Call out louder, I will miss
Wild nights and cheek slaps
The world may laugh
The world may clap
because you make them like you
oh, yeah you make them love it
tell you this right now ...

the red light on sheemore
the red light like a city bar’s open sign steady glowing through evening mist
sheemore sheemore she’s wanting more
more stones for her cairn
the red lighted cross, red for the blood
like a cinematic choice amongst untold horror
b-roll of red mist folding down the hill
power surges up to the hilltop
power lines to the cross; our lord jesus he needs more juice
sheemore she needs more blood more sweat
more salt more sorry sods to grow her moss
in the early morning the red filament bulb

the debt is on the land
the girl working the bar lost a child
only last week
i am learning how to pour a pint
and make a sex on the beach
i want to change my medication
i want to change my clothes
i want to move away from
my dad has had ankle surgery
only last week
i found his partner’s diary
and took photos of the spite inside
i am ignoring my tinder dates
i am ignoring my washing
i am ignoring the voices
we are all of us blameless
it is the blood thirsty land
who wants back what she gave

thoughts & prayers
read me a fortune
ley me a line
tie me a knot
in your handkerchief
cast me a circle
call my name to the sky
light me a candle
i may be gone away soon
for a while
ley me a line
tie me a knot
in your handkerchief
cast me a circle
call my name to the sky
light me a candle
i may be gone away soon

king me
and kill the spare: no, i am gracious in victory as defeat. why do we protect him? he is useless. give me a board with two queens. give me a lesbian love story across a battlefield but not with her. you trained her well; what i have can’t be taught like that. you have to be born into conflict. you have to have had your body and trust violated so much you get a headache and wake up someone else, someone with a hard heart, someone with a sixth sense, someone dead already. like the people who did this to you.
all that time i inched my way forward you thought i was just another...

white moves first
it’s unassailable;
and some moves
are unforgivable
but we forgive
just all the same
and when the board is empty
though we each may learn a lesson
it doesn’t matter who has won -
we set it up and play again
and some moves
are unforgivable
but we forgive
just all the same
and when the board is empty
though we each may learn a lesson
it doesn’t matter who has won -
we set it up and play again

bitter herbs
an old dirt-shadowed face lives in my mind
stuffing her mouth with medicine
and a young girl beating her belly with rocks
running laps until she falls down breathless
i see legs akimbo and a ladle thrust inside
i smell the sweat of fever-drugged fear
retching fills the cavern of my memory
and screaming too- and blood- and death
as i pinch a white pill and shove with my thumb
as close to my cervix as i am able
-
i press the call button until they come ...
stuffing her mouth with medicine
and a young girl beating her belly with rocks
running laps until she falls down breathless
i see legs akimbo and a ladle thrust inside

retching fills the cavern of my memory

dogwhistle
across the desolate green fields and valleys of Europe
we heard the sound
far louder than a tinnitus
ringing like an air raid siren
like the sound of a police car
an ambulance stuck in traffic
code red on the psych ward
it echoed back to Africa and split the ear bone that fuses underwater
but we are not domestic dogs.
we have the same canines as you
we can and will bite back
and as...
