Ed's bomb
I was warned beforehand
his hand had made something
with wires and batteries
it was on his table
could I go see
what I saw was a metaphor
with wires hanging out of it
though didn't want to doubt it
in front of him

Tulips, the untold truth of it
for a minute
I could think of no-thing
on gods green earth
which had a worse existence
than the chicken
then thought of the tulip
at least the chicken
has a quick turn of death
But the tulip is grown,
then harvested screaming,
thrown into to a bundle
then shiped on life support
sold in the mart
put in a vase
because they look so
fkn beautiful
while they die in pain

40 days 40 nights -where's my promised land-
Bobby ain't
gonna cry for you, pal
never whined once
when I took him
from from his family
so don't let his tears
deter you
gonna cry for you, pal
never whined once
when I took him
from from his family
so don't let his tears
deter you

Beside myself
not sure I like
her taste in mirror
or the depth
of wound last time
she held it up
her taste in mirror
or the depth
of wound last time
she held it up

Christmas morning 2021
We gathered when the sun was still too weak to punch through the grey sky.
Her children, the three of them, fussed around flowers, straightened the poetry and trinkets then raked the blue pebbles level with their fingers so when the sun broke through they shone like a calm blue sea
then we stood around in silence, our heads down each of us wrapped in our memories.
I poured her a drink, sucked the life from my cigarette, then spoke of mine, they theirs
some of us laughed, some of us cried, then we looked down again and...

It's not you
I don't know if I want her heart any more
mine is still cold, and I'm sure
it should have warmed
by now
mine is still cold, and I'm sure
it should have warmed
by now

So... what're we gonna call zebras and xylophones now
they've taken
the letter z
and stained it
like the Aryans stained
the swastika

and stained it
like the Aryans stained

An excerpt from a strange occurrence
you may not remember
back when we were one cell
wriggling round the ocean
and not a care or notion
of standing on dry land
I do
I remember much
later, when eyes overwhelmed us
with beauty and sadness
and where it took us
from there
and look at us now
look at you"
but, I don't think he knew
who he was talking to

Take the moo off the menu ?
who is going to tell the cows
their presence is detremetal
to the world at large
and I wonder, on hearing it
would they understand
the gravity of the situation
and cease
all
procreation
or will we
have to do it
for them 🤔

Long time running -The lost files-
-o-2-o-
I don’t know where last week went
or several before it,
or where my insides are gone
or how long it takes to smother
something
make it a fleeting thought
-o-1-o-
If they come
I’ll leave through the window
I know exactly where to go from there
it’ll be barefoot and hairy legged
but I’ll take the adrenaline
any day of a week

Son, My son
can say with conviction
and honesty, the journey
has been mostly easy
for me, anyway
cos this father’s love ain’t fussy.
all I really want you to be
is alive

ffs...
felt my heart sink down
then eat itself
would have eaten me too
only for the five pairs of eyes
in the room
seven hours have passed
and I think I’m over it
just wish
I’d have strangled her
when she tried to hug me
on the way out
..no I don’t
