a collection of short poems [8]

 

lonely country roads

winding recklessly
blackbutt and ironbark branches
flash like ghost lightning
ready to snap from the sky

impaling windshields
balloon twisting airbags into car-wrecks
shattered glass falls like stardust
breaking the deathly silence of country

prayers cut the air at a hundred klicks
widow makers whisper my name
in the wake of dead leaves



pigeon man

laugh at him overtaking
in a rush to break free

all you do is itch and think
shit for brains

remember tyson
pigeon man
pinpoint passion took you by surprise

the sound of beating wings
flying fists whooping the air

humble prayers
simply summons speed
agility and home



a macabre zombie romance

spliced with poison ivy
hellfire sexy
narcissistic and dangerous
screwing loose cannons
on the smouldering hood in the rain

interrogating her lovers
to the convulsive chorus of nick cave

do you love me
like i love you

her voice a razor blade
to cut
imaginations loose



the scent of a memory - one

my piss smelt like wet cigarettes
a reminder
to layoff the smoked ham
next christmas

perfume flushed from my senses
instilled into depositories of my mind
