In Rhythm
Of cockroaches and men
I have lived with more cockroaches than men This city, emerald beacon that it is It seems to reel them in.
Spills
I am an ossuary For the skulls and bones Who’ve seen my insides raw I can envelop and expand To hold imprints of loved ones past For unloved familiar faces For warm strangers It is now baggage of my own Imprints of film and life That I feel I’ve lived But now these imprints cause […]
Madeleine
They burst apart when we’re asleep These unexamined inconsistencies Memories, a fibrous mass Weigh something on a pair of scales Energy When you ask, you change The order of things and The things in the order Elegy Write it down and spurn Contrarian words I would have said On the street two ships of Thesius […]
Indifferent
You started out, looking just like me And when we split off at the fork in that other mother It had somehow turned into another world Just another path, a routine substitution Extrusion is a superficial game Bone, bile, skin and muscle And nothing more As at the end We end the same When at […]
In the Middle
There’s someone standing guard In the center tower Watch your hands, don’t point your fingers Your neighbor’s behaving better It’s a competition In dark pipes underwater, you are connected together Throw another stone at their glass ceiling No fist can bring back creditation Each punch more power for evil’s impregnation They are chosen, you are […]
Wearing Hides
Down at the fork in the road you are damned Internalize or break law in symmetry, Follow fate safe along these parallel scars, of past in present Inflammation lingers longer, it will linger tightly, a reminding message It’s predictable on you Be the better man, girl Retribution, it bears broken teeth Your mother told you […]
The Mountain
Floods the river, caves the mountain Dragging out these fantasies of disappointment Follow me out by border’s way Passive, marching by my side Cracking strata clears a stage for two Guilt is green, as I am clear You’re colour blind and I can’t hear Ignorance is bliss War is familial Hands will tear At those, […]
Atomic Man
Stepping stones appear in muddy waters Step by step with limited vision Step half-man and walk obtund Breathe in through your iron lungs Between the eyes of jury duty Chosen ones of convenient suiting Bound possibilities by book read of recessions In the dirt His brain is losing its last depressions He walks, he runs […]
Next
Yank my chain down to a Path further down the flowchart As we look over our shoulders Wondering what could’ve been if we had Acted accordingly to tradition not Fragmentation of the backwards tracking mind What if What if What if Pathology of action is a pathology inside An obsession by impressions caused by Fragmentation […]
Tools
Pigment indigo can’t clear the way for your blue child Fuck your genes, your pretty consciousness We’ve got something for everyone Greasy 48 ladder steps ain’t much of a climb Fantasy of heavens fog over your eyes JC or CGJ in death still waste your time Redundancy determined, stocked nuts for winter Time only will […]
The Family
In the shadow of yesterday’s man is one side of us A binary game of snakes and ladders tempting fate Murder business mid-wives, freed from agency at one incision Stretched skin tanning, splayed upon a rash decision Through burnt lips we have drunk the broth Through eroded teeth we’ve lost control Chew what’s left that’s […]
A story without REM sleep
If you could only see what I can see Black mirror mind, if you could taste the air I breathe A sight photograph, artefacted lost moment in time If seen through the heart of an Iris, inversion The price is increased as it flees, eye of mine Through this abstraction layer you too can see […]
The Black Box
Birds fall out of the sky all the time They might love and they might cry Seasons change, it doesn’t matter Birdies never say goodbye When Kodamas mourn inside Free of mental ties that bind Going backwards not in numbers Debriding holes inside your mind Birdies fly and birdies talk Prisoners chained to their yolk […]
The Door
As I sped down the hallways I am terrified, terrified Two more stories ’til you see the door Running terrified, terrified Are we part of the system Birthing us to our doom Smoking mirrors they show us Brothers and sisters Reeling in chaos Running back to our tombs As we sped down the hallways We […]
Yellow pavers
Autumn leaves trickle down like bile Bloody bandages on trees Yellow pavers line the pathways Where we learnt to practise our disease As we are tearing through the rubble Wiping off the dust of shame The mob has found a perpetrator But only dead are here to blame Potholes fill the barren roads Where toy […]
421
Of the Eros and Ego, an urge for construction The defective goes by his own hands The superior prototype fears death As weak of strong will, plead for destruction Short tooth cuts itself on long days His darkened skin’s been burning for years Illusory desire flickers fluorescent He sits on the corner of bed, undressed […]
From near as from far
The first photon seen in life Made of love born of violence And sheep clothing of determination Zoom out, it’s like a fractal Even a virgin’s teeth Still live between the lips She is beclawed By inheritance, hips mortal When the first half of us Swam to a new home The unlucky drowned headfirst Burned […]
Tunnels
The light at the end of the tunnel will be a train At which point you will wake up a second last time If you trust your eyes You’ll live If you trust the Logos You’ll prosper If you trust Logic Blindness and Hope will both perish Salome came of some 205 pages in a […]
Obtund
Touch your skin to cold my child Point your eyes toward the sun And keep your finger in the blue flame As did Ual and Ory, twins named Perception Remembered as loss and victory In a game where hierarchy has no place Forget discomfort, take on one real sensation Rearranging merely flour of the bread […]
Chondriac
This gentle friction can strip off thin skin clean Like a medicine bottle’s label soaking in warm water Once he touched down, my chest started to burn Fear of that too small to see, every man is flawed An apple a day is a drip of poison as another face gets pale Pavlovian fear of […]
Satellites
For beauty’s found inside abandoned sheds Filled by strange tools for romantic future use We are sitting on the silent ledge, no winds The past is partial, fragmented Tainted by the moment’s colour For nostalgia is wonder Stripped down, purified and unattainable Instinctive learning, sending searchlights for signs Excited by the unknown, that’s still familiar […]
Puss in Boots
Black lace over the lampshade creates haze It is hard work to climb up To a mound so smooth and steep A landscape for sore eyes and long days In absence leads poor men to weep Then she will hover As naive lambs, they start off sober Her piercing stare adds to the fuel Burning […]
Cream and Milk
With wells for eyes And skin that’s silk We homogenize together like cream and milk Running my fingers through blond hairs in the morning Translucent in the sunlight, soft to the touch If I was an explorer, I have been sent to launch If I was an alien I have touched down my craft On […]
Lime Chicken Kiev
I looked outside to see The lawns were covered in broken baubles Took a walk towards the bees For the honey, not because it’s noble The stench of rain was in the air I ran amuck to see myself In the reflection of a skip’s lid A nihilistic head under unruly hair Street dogs were […]
