the skeleton

new flesh,
opened eyes
out of
curiosity,
her lover's
life
breathed back
into her,
a crowd
of people
wandering
inside
of her,
debating,
discussing
how they
can continue
to keep
her alive
from
now on.

Open cast Mining
This earth moving machinery
rattles and clangs through its rude day,
scraping away ancient scenery
and my childhood along the way
exposing coal under the clay.
The drone behind this high pitched whine
indifferent to the changes wrought
worms and casts aside my past times
for preciousness its master sought,
which drifts like smoke away to nought.
This droning drags on through the years
the desolation is complete
and fruitless now the ground sprouts tears
watching the spread of new concrete
to hide the black that...

Some Light Relief by Nature
It shone on pyramids it shone on comets too
it shone on Neanderthaler hid from things not in our zoos
It shone on glaciers it really made 'em run
and what was this shiny thing?
It was, it is
our Sun!

Please
I can taste the breeze
As i feel the essence
And sweet scents
Of other trees
They speak to me
With a myriad tongues
Ancient underground roots
Of a varied view
All sweep the skies
Of an azure blue
Here i stand
The gnarly old me
I am a friendly gregarious
Funny looking tree
Oft in the shape of a pyramid
My arms reaching out
Across the undulating landscape
As i view entities
With a critical eye
Carrying razor teeth
Distant friends, soon to die
as their sap like blood
Bleeds dry
And...

Off Your Head
To the decision makers
And morality breakers
Pretend your head
Is planet Earth
And imagine
If some of your inhabitants
Of your planet head
Be they internal, or external
Start uprooting bits of you
Digging, and drilling
Tipping noxious chemicals
All over
Cutting arteries
And changing their natural flow
And generally
Messing around with your head
Then come the wars
And bombs
And blood
Your planet head
Would soon be dead.......

Rocket
Run to the
Church hall
His baptism with grace
My mechanical
Prayer
Will put the beast to
Rest
As the countdown
Calls for
The launch to begin
In the desert
It's unknown
This rocket
Will begin
Identity vaccine
For all
To try
And vote on time
Beneath its rawring
The rocket orbits on time
The countdown will start now

Being Human(e)
I was talking
To Gaia
The other day
(You may know her better
As Mother Earth)
Anyway
She suddenly said
"You know that saying?"
"Mad
Bad
And dangerous to know!"
I said " Yes"
She said
"That's you lot,
Humanity!"

Pest Control
To rid a dwelling of bed bugs
one overheats the home
in Texas they've disovered,
to the utter delight of some,
if you heat the state, for months,
to one hundred and ten plus
you stand to rid a goodly portion
of the invasive Californicus

Exhausted
I can hear the wind
Whistling quietly
Through my lightly opened window
As the cool breeze sweeps through
And gently cools my legs
Also reminding me
That it is time
To close my window
And pull down the blinds
Closing out the cold
And the outside world
Such as the sounds
Of early evening traffic
I am now left alone
In my silence
And my solitude
I switch on the radio
Not really listening
But appreciate the company
Then my ears pick up the words
'Climate change'
(The planet is tired)

Vast
I look into the vast pale blue sky
With travelling cloud giants passing by.
How small am I?
Crows squawk a foreboding language.
At the often absurdity of simply being human.
Trying to fit large ego's into tiny toned bodies.
Our problems pale as to the fate of the earth.
Denial never felt so good to the masses.
Climb out of your box.
And look around, wide eyed
At beauty's enormity in every species of life.
Give up your false theory
that the world revolves around you.
The world is vast, let's ensure it lasts.

It Doesn't End Even When It Ends
The concrete's hard
No doubt about it
We sharpen our stones
And then forget about it
I've been drained of my blood
But what about it
Sustain our own will
And don't think twice about it
It's a cutthroat world
And rope's the fashion
We're all the same
No matter how you wear it
And I'm not saying
That waste's the passion
I just think
We've not thought hard enough about it
My pitchers empty
I'm not going to worry about it
There is nothing else to pour
So let's not talk about it
I...
