Tomato Skin
Tomato skin, my skin
Hesitant, lets you in
Your thumbprint- a soft imprint
Staying, pulsating bravely
While my pain sang.
My chest, a drum to play a song on.
My heart hums along.
My body a clever blade of grass,
Still swaying and sweet.
Eyes starry in the trees.
Staring up at twinkling
Infinite forever whispering.
Harvest moon of twilight
Rolls over, naked with delight.
Your arms around my trunk
Pulling music from my blood
Solstice kiss my lips
Gentle stumbling fingertips
Love,...
Hesitant, lets you in
Your thumbprint- a soft imprint
Staying, pulsating bravely
While my pain sang.
My chest, a drum to play a song on.
My heart hums along.
My body a clever blade of grass,
Still swaying and sweet.
Eyes starry in the trees.
Staring up at twinkling
Infinite forever whispering.
Harvest moon of twilight
Rolls over, naked with delight.
Your arms around my trunk
Pulling music from my blood
Solstice kiss my lips
Gentle stumbling fingertips

Forever Breathes The Lonely Word
From my Father this strong heart
From Mother the fear
From the soil the rage
From the afternoon storm
(Into which I entered, Stage Left)
The humility, before and after,
Actors circle the backdrop of a new play.
The day’s final breath bathes in
Industrial fumes, diesel, space hubris
Sky dust falls unheralded -
Its regal silence answers the question:
“How can you write poetry in a place like this?”
Are we merely trying to read
The braille of the years between
With stumped fingers?

Actors circle the backdrop of a new play.

Bountiful bullshit, big brother bourgeoisifying.
Radiation risk rising, riot rebels revolutionising.
Obtuse observations opaquely, one-siding.
Karma Kaleidoscope, knowledge karyotyping.
Earth elected emissary, enigmatic, enlightening.
Nobility nervous , numbed now neutralising
Power play pandemic! People photosynthesising,
Oxygenated, oppose occult overcommercializing.
Emanating energy, earths electrifying,
Terraforming thought, third-eye temporalizing!

Wondering NaPo 2/30
I've been wondering,
Learning,
Asking,
Do leprechauns have leprosy?
What if there never was coffee?
What if there had never been scurvy?
Is Minecraft anti-communist?
What would have happened if Brad Dourif, instead of actor, pursued the carrer of florist?
Do fish itch?
What if they really sold the TF2 Sandvich?
Why are there so many songs about singing songs and/or identifying with a song, instead of having a message?
Why do so many people rush into marriage?
Do androids dream of electric sheep?

Epiphany @ The Village Massala, North Wales, 19/02/19
In the restaurant, alone
An island skirted by cruising waiters
Foot stepping down their personal Nullarbor.
A sense of waste in their walk, but somehow vital
To the passing existence I owe them.
Alone in the restaurant,
Fingers of my folded arms
Strapped, prayed in-perpetuity.
Cutlery, plates, wine bottle
Assembled for (s)played chess.
In the restaurant, alone
The Three Wise Men are framed
By aubergine, spice & solitary thoughts.
Arc of sun shapes o’er ceiling, reminds me
Of Piss Christ, quenching...

Taste The Shades Of A Long, Hot Summer
Metaphor hanging from my front door
Knuckled knocking fist builds gallows.
Moon and wind fill the garden, with
Darkened leaves torn from their home.
Veins in my hands are
Shaped as a felled tree.
Lost the ease of being in my own skin.
From frosting window
Shoeless child ties knots in laces.
In window frost a written vision, perhaps -
Her map will be a mirror
On her lap, she will paint it black -
Nail varnish from Mother’s
Bedside medicine cabinet.
A stolen C Minor crushes
Piano rib cages, ...
Knuckled knocking fist builds gallows.
Moon and wind fill the garden, with
Darkened leaves torn from their home.

Shaped as a felled tree.

Shoeless child ties knots in laces.

Nature calls
Birds will fly
Mountains high
Bright blue sky
Tell me why
Plants will grow
Water flows
Wind will blow
Life it goes
Rain it falls
Nature's calls
Hidden walls
Nature's laws
Simple dreams
Sunlight beams
Water streams
All a team
Birds will fly
Mountains high
Bright blue sky
Tell me why
Plants will grow
Water flows
Wind will blow
Life it goes
Rain it falls

Stars
We stood on the beach
In that twilight hour
And the stars
They gave us a sign
We laughed at your jokes
And mine were borrowed
From you and every other time
When we were always lost
Running from something
We were both born into
Rarely said but
Always knowing
When we fell out
Over someone else
We lived in regret for an eternity
Only to stand on the beach again
Where we always wanted
To be
But held back
From the clean air
The stars still...
In that twilight hour
And the stars
They gave us a sign
We laughed at your jokes
And mine were borrowed
From you and every other time
When we were always lost
Running from something
We were both born into
Rarely said but
Always knowing
When we fell out
Over someone else
We lived in regret for an eternity
Only to stand on the beach again
Where we always wanted
To be
But held back
From the clean air

Development
1) To find my way through space, hurtling like a comet...
Aimless in my endeavors
I try to make meaning, setting course
Destinations unknown
I embark on a journey to nowhere
But to live
Am I making something of life
Or is life making something of me
Moving forward, breaking through barriers
I find my pull in the dictates of this gravity
2) You've fallen on your dreams, they're running like a river and sounding like a stream...
Catching wind of ideas
Waiting for the world behind my eyes to materialize
Finding...
