when the going gets cold
When the going gets cold
I was going down the lane
when I saw an ice front coming up the hill
I let go of the dog.
Ran home and burnt old poetry books
to keep the cold at bay.
Sagacity went up in flames keeping me warm
cold ashes and regrets.
The dog, with its thick fur and disregard
of reading
survived in the hollow of an old oak.

The dog, with its thick fur and disregard

the fall of the west
The fall of the west
Easy, abortion worrying, call for an appointment at five.
A well-educated woman has a career to consider
this is her right to pursue her dream. (Work before pleasure.)
a mother is hard work and the pay is lousy
Birth rates in Europe are sinking, upsetting the balance of the future.
A less educated woman has to work also one pay packet is not thanks
to our capitalist system called hard graft
In Portugal, the birth rate is low, from one generation to a distressing fall.
Old people die out there are not enough people to...

The world
What's happening to the world today, why are we so greedy?
While we sit and squander in our palaces not bothering about the needy,
They have no riches, they have no homes, they have nothing, they stand alone.
So while we are eating and stuffing our faces faces, people are starving in other places.
While we sit and squander in our palaces not bothering about the needy,
They have no riches, they have no homes, they have nothing, they stand alone.
So while we are eating and stuffing our faces faces, people are starving in other places.

An Accidental Asterisk Mark
Sign of the cross
With X overlaid
It redirects thought
Academics look for a footnote
Hoping for something they know
To reinforce their smarts
Memory their house-boys
Servants to an insipid trade
Science over religion
Hydrogen bombs over God
Sodom and Gomorrah
Sydney and the Gold Coast
Whores at the casinos
Losers placing their bets
All you can drink
All you can eat
Glitzy bars and cheap buffets
The morons come in all sizes
No matter the price of their suits

lava-like daydreams
I am
dayglow
Radiating outward
Pulsing pure molten ore
Scorched heated
life itself
Kiln hot—
I instinctually
burn
from just
the

No-one’s coming to Save You
It’s all very transactional
I’ll give you sex
If you give me security
No mention of love
And there are some who might say
It’s all about power
And historical imbalances
No mention of pillow talk
And they speak of money
Of opportunities and pay gaps
And who gets the house
And who gets the kids
And trades are made through lawyers
Who always get paid their share?
One way or another
And it’s all very quid pro quo
And it’s all so terribly transactional
Like the labour market

Soft And Sweet...
Sweeter Than Honey
A poetess makes love
with her alluring words
and lays them down
upon a dreamscape
silken bed as a covering
for fixated eyes
to slide under them
and softy enjoy
the honeyed enticements
The color of my faith
The color of my faith
Seen in the Heaven of blue
Unlocking
The true potential of my soul
In the stratosphere
In the stratosphere
High above the moon
I hear your spiritual teaching ...

Powerless
How did people write?
By candlelight
Got four candles
Or fork handles
On the go
It's so dark
I don't really know
That emit
A very pleasant glow
But not enough
To easily see
Without elec tricity
Got some classical
On Radio Three
On my wind-up radio
With no battery
Arms ache
For goodness sake!

I Confessed
Auditors have power
A bit like critics
Everyone’s scared of them
And pretend more than usual

The War of Molecules
The whirling world is war.
In the darkness the star -
Fights against strenuous gravity
To hold itself together
and not fall into event horizons
that loom - across spaces like black lights of doom.
Even within the star -
there is war -
as molecules move about in frenzies
and furore -
shifting into themselves and transforming
into new forms with new functions...
And still at war -
bursting forth – in nameless anonymities
criss crossing and drawing strange symbols
seen only by...
In the darkness the star -

shifting into themselves and transforming
into new forms with new functions...
And still at war -

No Information
No information is information.
A heavy piece.
What is NOT there, but should be.
The search that will never cease.
A pleasurable dynamic.
Like filling in the blanks and rounding out the form.
Control of information.
The struggle since we were born.
Science or Art?
You tell me.
Which will liberate you?
And set you free?
Information Theory!
But then how do you encode for uncertainty?
And with such limited degree.
Aren't we facing eternity?
Thus, who shall it be who...
