The Landing
The Landing

The aliens arrived and they read our DNA just like a book. They had no interest in our words. They sampled the oceans and its diseases, a pathology specimen from the self-destructive damsel of this solar system, an off-smelling primordial soup that has sat on the counter for too long, infested with small creatures who […]

Split up into little duos Two against the world Into atomic kin Don’t have too much fun Or think Because unstable orbits Might give people ideas

Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall

It’s all shadows on the wall ’til their legs stop to shake Pocket contents falling Breaking, lemon wedge unbitten This didn’t match the brief When we emerged from the sea The pupa unwraps Cicada crawls Disappointment sets Imagine how this feels for them No sheets, no ropes No umbilical cord No tie on the door […]

All American divorce

Retarded orange shepherd’s golden toilet Has seen more secrets than it keeps Black-hatted white sheep milked for his green sheets Black-eyed, Tweets: Whatever happens, we have got the spaceships, and they do not

Rani, rana ranitsa
Rani, rana ranitsa

Рани, рана, раница Зима идва бързо Но лято ще е студно също В тоз прокълнат мръз Сняг ще пада Само в младост Сурвакари, сурва, сурват Зима идва бързо С багажа, който нося От студен вятър се обръщам

Ghosts of the machine

I’ll give you a key To every room Roam where you like Except the one In which everything you touch Will look bloodstained In a certain light Won’t shine like gold Like the rest of these halls Certain things where “Let me explain” is not enough It must fit in a soundbite The survivors are […]

You see, it’s in the compression Word girdles shape the story The terminus of sentences Keep it short and sweet Because now it’s all quite dull And even boring But when we’ve perfected yesterday You can make your mind up faster It takes too long To explain Wait to see The final product It’s still […]

Wood

Darlin’ I’m a many-ringed tree Divorced, but not from life I wear Santal 33 and you, Something with a ship on the bottle But in your face I see A wise smile and innocence Because you get to elect your corruption When mine was a mandatory subject

The sarcophagus

It was a problem of semiotics really Couldn’t read the sign But the instrument sung like cicadas in summer As dusty fireflies touched my skin It was like the expeditions to the pyramids Where the curse of the king punishes us Because we shouldn’t have been there After the last atomic priest has died
