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 […]
Push
These marionette fibres In your tortured muscles Push pull Heavy front A weakness of back Too tight jaws Excess slack Certain parts are special Because they get you closer to god? A magic man can’t create life On his own But push push push push Surely by now It’s a problem resolved Get off your […]
Millennium bug
As your eyes widen It’s nature and nurture Coddled and encapsulated Do you remember when this is how The future used to sound Your eyes or maybe my shoes Lift me up off the ground But I’ll be okay Once I come down I feel I’ve caught a Millennium bug Tug at my heartstrings Make […]
Biscuit Princess
There’s now too much I need to learn Too many islands left And shores to link Fire together Wire together Eyes dilated Thoughts disabled Senses drawn Assembled on the Last train home
Reddit Guru
I see you’ve read the dumb man’s Smart man’s runes online They ruin everything that’s built An empty conserve, a hollow shrine Stuff yourself with anything From his bony little fingers As his wrist goes in It can only go so deep You know there’s a pill For everything there is No condition too poor […]
Age of discovery
In his arrested development This lone ascetic Wakes with dirty hands Sheets float away But his shame remains On dry land in my Drowned World It’s just our new old nature Let me guide your hand With mine Draw maps And join mankind In the New World Valleys and troughs Drag the stylus through This […]

You ain’t got a split dioptre To place two things into focus When you’re making Synthetic mirror life On the other side of silvered glass Left-handed version Of the right hand path You ain’t got a split dioptre
Cotard’s Summer
This idea inside you It is viral Anti-vital It slowly suffocates you Like a python Well, what’s next Mademoiselle X? It’s a part of you Your own supply You say no need to spare Food for thought or body A little red bag Your yellow raincoat Pockets full of heavy grey slag It is your […]
Test of humanity
You are beautiful And you are needing But I am a little too empty And can’t make your ceiling Careful of how deeply you stick that hand Inside the cookie jar Fear is the mind killer Most men don’t get too far We bring only what we have Not much can fit inside At any […]
Garblified
I tried hard To dress like I won’t steal My tips worn at diagonal My socks thin I’m not a thief I’m not a thief I belong here My pockets have holes I’m not wholly here Mouth noises Blobs, gestalts Oh, you can help? There’s no time Mouth noises I just stare Garblified
Somnistanbul
I got home and removed my claws In the waiting room are different laws Of what you can carry And what you can do When the distance is altered This place will fit two Because you should feel safe And you should feel larger Let me lay down first None of that ol’ “How’s your […]
Numbers Station
I’ve read kilometres of letters Of scrolls and things, that’ve never been I’ve had dreams of dying While waiting for words On number stations Waiting in the attic Sitting through the noise It isn’t free will, nor a choice 20 8 5 18 5 9 19 14 15 2 15 4 25 8 5 18 […]
Dimmesdale
It was his black swan No-one would have thought That empty feeling When a nice girl’s fallen But the icon of her name’s still pure All it took was a gander Obtuse, thoughts intrusive She has different faces, not moons In her eyes, no stars Only one’s surprise there’s No weeknight left to fallow Now […]
