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
his hand had made something

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

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

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

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

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

i remember
how simplicity
turned around
asking me
do you wish
to see skin
or bones?

the alphabet mafia
there may
be differences
in our age
gaps
it can still
tell you a lot
about living,
perhaps
it's the way
some are
hailed &
raised
or allowing
your thoughts
to be moulded
by others,
don't be
fooled by
kind spirits
some of us
just want quiet;
to return home
without a face
busted up &
red grapes
for eyes,
(i've been there)
so to me
it is clear
as glass
how you
avoid me ...

you don't
get manuals
for hearts
that beat
faster
than
trains.
