D1. Annotated Peoples Make Connections: if they walked around in love/for love/by love with SFX labels to their chests
Different hands reach for the same neck
of a bottle, jerk back in dwindling bounds
as a ball dribbles away without its human.
Of all the places to relax into, holding
ones breath for language. We turn
into vases, nose to nose. The background
shutters like a party trick. Figures milling as noise;
a fleet on the horizon- fading
to the roundness of the earth, an elevator
carrying the Gestalt principle.
Foreground forebrain timpani! Avocado
center, our circadian rhythm-
dense and brown.
I cast shells and...

Poetry Is....
Poetry is water; ever gentle and still
Timid and shapeless, yet as vast as its will
The home of all life cursed with death’s chill
Calm as a lamb but ruthless to kill
Poetry is fire; scorching through hearts of men
An unattainable desire to release ones Zen
A raging candle with an unextinguishable pen
Yin and yang, drilling wisdom since the first den
Poetry is life; raw energy that breathes
A spirit of creation, ceremonial wreathes
Inspiration and motivation it needs
The purest of hearts is what makes it succeed
...

Water
I was up last night with my own thoughts as company
Is that a wise thing to do in this state of insanity
I have not lost my mind if that is what you thought
I sit here looking at the water that has to be bought.
What was once free
we have to pay
steamed
sparkling
purified
distilled
from a glade
The taste is off
I have to laugh
It should have no taste at all
inside my glass
We pay for the bottle
We pay for the glass
We pay for the wrapper
We pay out our ass
What have we...

Breathe a Breath
Breathe to me a breath I can share
Breath a breath that saves the earth
Climate will hurt us
if we are ignorant to the land
that burns us and quakes us and spins tornadoes
We should all agree living not dying
Is better than not existing even a little bit
So temperatures rise and we can’t lie
Bacon is burning breakfast on asphalt
Breathe a breathe that saves all of us
Plant a tree give oxygen to peoplekind
As fires burn the west 80 foot flames in Greece
No...

BE SOME PLACE ELSE
If you could just be able to go somewhere else, to escape for a righteous blessing. AS you become so invisible. TO the insanity from the negativity, and drama, and confusion of the world. 🌎 Where would you rather be, here amongst the deepness, of your own sanity. Feeling your spiritual pain leave your thoughts to find thyself, yet sometimes feeling still alone me myself and I. Yet you have a connection, to the outer limits of your own thoughts. ☺️ TO experience a good vibration within, this place far away from society. THAT only you can see and feel the inner vibes. Which...

Irish Eamond
An old Irish man once told me......
A sweet spot is a place.
Where fairies pass over unseen.
Magic passes over too.
He looked like a sweet old fella. But!
Standing behind you, he'd cast spells.
Full of Jiggery pokery & clownish too.
A fan of Crowley & other bunkum.
Even now I miss the old fella,
Wish I'd been more relaxed, back then.
Listened to his tales of leprechauns.
Fairies pixies & puffs n stuff.
If someone asked him, so what do you do?
I'm a...

Depth is Deep
Depth is deep
Depth is so deep
In the black water of my soul
Fathoming searching
Come up for air
Hold my breath
Deep in the black water of my soul
Bubbles reach the surface
My soul is underwater
Try to catch my breath
In the black water of my soul
Fight the demons
That hold me under
There is a kink in the
Black water of my soul
Forces pulling me under
In the black water of my soul
Spirit wants to break free
From the black water of my soul
...

Assistant to Power
Assistant to Power
You go to school and dig into law principles
I go to school I’m an Apprentice to a Master Plumber
We see each other in social situations
Blacked out pledging the fraternity of yourfamily
So I see you in the library but you’re reading the comics
I’m on the stone looking to master Plumbing
As time passes you’re clerking for the Supreme Court
I worked for all of this I Mastered Plumbing
You were drunk and sleeping, pulling down your pants now you’re on the Supreme Court ...

Spy among Us
Tentacle stretches across the sea floor
With some suckers on his arm gripping onto his prey
When he’s with a friend wraps his arm around
And hugs him up
As a hermit crab searches for a new home
So they line up size by size to find a new apartment
With a camera on his shell so I can see
What’s going on in the land of the hermits
They proceed to move into their new shell
Some happy some not so much
A pigs day begins in the Caribbean
Swimming in the ocean
They swim like Michael...
With some suckers on his arm gripping onto his prey
When he’s with a friend wraps his arm around
And hugs him up
As a hermit crab searches for a new home
So they line up size by size to find a new apartment
With a camera on his shell so I can see
What’s going on in the land of the hermits
They proceed to move into their new shell
Some happy some not so much
A pigs day begins in the Caribbean
Swimming in the ocean

I love my morning cuppa
It's always tea, no milk, no sugar
Always hot
It pulls me back to reality
Out of the morning fog
Fog so thick I can barely see life
But there it is a lovely cup of tea
Or magic, or whatever
Fogs lifting I can see now
Another shitty day in paradise begins
With me and a cup of tea.
N.B ....never coffee.
It's always tea, no milk, no sugar

Brine Song
Priest kissed those cold clay lips
Form mutilated on battle between ships
A gift given back from grey seas
Fish and brine ate up everything below the knee
Once a man of honor, strong and bold
A warrior forged in fire and mold
He sailed beneath both storm and star
To find his fate in realms afar
A tale of powder’s burn and sabres’ flash
Of cannon’s roar and timbers’ crash
Where mortal form on reefs was dashed
And hope, like sails, to tatters lashed
The waves bore witness, fierce and grim
As bloodied waters...
Form mutilated on battle between ships
A gift given back from grey seas
Fish and brine ate up everything below the knee
Once a man of honor, strong and bold
A warrior forged in fire and mold
He sailed beneath both storm and star
To find his fate in realms afar
A tale of powder’s burn and sabres’ flash
Of cannon’s roar and timbers’ crash
Where mortal form on reefs was dashed
And hope, like sails, to tatters lashed
The waves bore witness, fierce and grim
As bloodied waters...
