When I was written
In a galaxy other/older than poetry
I was carved by stone masons
chiseled canvas speaks
Idibera
did you know
not ever
would
my name
be forgotten?
Idibera
my face grew
into waves
washed
in these tides
I heard horizons
pledge
poesy older than
galaxies

DIGGING TIDES
Toil of sun smeared spade,
Forking limbs horizontal to
The hardening earth:
As a gravedigger reluctant, to
Leave further space for the dead.
The old man’s back buckles like
An old iron bridge bearing
Exhaust thrust of lorry pile up.
Age stoops into shed
Struggle to draw cigarette, to
Gates of his putrefied mouth.
Eyes blacker than crow feathers
Butterfly cadaver mascara.
Death at his elbow, vertebra
Valediction ropes
Memory to burnt bridges.
The old man feels fern & roots

Deck Of Cards
During the North African campaign,
A group of soldier boys had been on a long hike.
They came to a town called Cassino.
The next day, being, Sunday, some of the boys went to church,
And after the Chaplin had read the prayer, the text was taken up next.
Those of the boys who had a prayer books took them out, but, this one boy only had a deck of cards,
And so he spread them out.
The Sargent saw the cards and said
"Soldier, put away those cards."
After the services were over, the boy was taken prisoner,
And brought before...

Eternal sunset and lakes of fury
Brightly she shines in our night sky;
her name the goddess of love.
Once Earth's twin –
similar in size and structure –
her hellish heat
and sulphuric sky
have rendered her an evil monster.
Cloaked in a carbon dioxide blanket,
her acid rain, violent volcanoes
and lakes of lava run rampant;
their heat unable to escape
the scorching surface.
No seasons serve to cool or calm.
Even the night
offers little respite
from the soaring heat
and you could be...

My Culture Fix - 06/07/22
The book I'm reading
A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G Summers, a debut by a Victorian literature PhD about a New York restaurant critic and "female psychopath", a psychological phenomenon which she discusses in the first-person narrative, stylised as a sort of prison diary. She's a cannibalistic serial killer, in her early 50s. The book, therefore, is comparable to both American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and Hannibal by Thomas Harris, though in my opinion more interesting/funnier than the former and less pulpy than the latter.

Through the mire..
Fresh from the drawn curtains of a pastel dawn
The sun hides behind the massing clouds of day
Water lapsed legs are rubbed in the velvet of silt
Giving way to the fray and territory of notion
In a sense a dressed devotion;
The now is where we stand before
This time, this here, is all we have..
The past behind the futures advance
That fucking met-a-phorical door..
It’s frame is barred in the intern of an open floor
As we set what rises in its wrapping
The present is the moments gift
A man, his dog, wet boots, and...

Freedom from a corrupted Chief
(are we there yet...?)
letters borne on silver winged birds
logos and flags, with stars and stripes
all hail the descending royalties
smug fat faces shiny and smiling
like petrified Buddhas
oh how they exude benevolence
bend the knees, forehead to palms
deities from the skies, all hail
never a step missed
never a frozen face frowned
words of welcome murmured
never above the safe decible
they are gourmand and gourmandisers
deny them not their food and drinks
born of the peasants...
