I see a snout

I see a snout in partial filth
A trading route established for
Emotional funding
I put on my boots,
Then my coat
And like a clot I stand
With my back to the door
Gripping the irresistible urge
To stay at home
To remain alone

This is who I am not me or may be as the lofty head that's bowed in self regard belies an icon free for futures in our sallow skins, night seeking eyes work deep inside the caverns of a mind where destiny has sought and found and left us free from thought like creatures who now know who or what they are and settle and no longer seek, they mate and rear and fertilize the land with what remains - the blood of prey.

What kind of communication is it that doesn't have a like button?

I am walking through the streets, cradling a cardboard box that contains three cats. One has stuck its head out of a hole in the front, another has stuck its tail out of a hole in the back and the last one has stuck its legs out of the holes in the bottom and this is somehow a dog. Sure enough, I am now walking around with a cat box dog, clutching the pair of handles that have sprouted from its spine, in lieu of a leash.

I have breathed seven hundred and four times this week. One hundred times a day, and some. I have punctuated each breath with a hic or a cup, and in each cup I have deposited a stone. I have invited soldiers to dine here

BUT DO WE EVER GET THROUGH?
.... √\/\/\ ....
On horseback I desperately rode for five days, clutching a shit encrusted bat in each hand. They chirruped like crickets.

I am riding the dung line. I've not slept for days. Those pathetic buffoons, the Tomlin brothers, are over there among the greens, spitting out their vile invective, and I wish they were dead; that I could throw them overboard and be done with them, but I cannot. They are stuck there, as I am stuck here. There have never been fears that you could deny or pass away as only

Some of us would cry
Because the earth we see
Is not the blossom we
Would hold between our teeth
And dance

You run to water
Tears of wanting
To the step free
Unzip your curses

There is a dark knife, inserted in a wooden place
There is a soft, folding knife, inserted in the leaves of awe
There are knives of green, like kidneys, stirred by your song
Your welcome love to kindle
Love your gone mouth
And trouble
Long as round life

Rubble turned
From passenger
To passenger
Upset the long view

In hands as dry as day
What I see
Guides no
Heaving ruins
To the kerb
Where I write:

Interested in politics and husbands
On the floor is dirty
Would like to meet a bird
To shake hands
In the bin a mouse gland
A fruited will
Ingested lines

If I could raise to life the world I seek
I would not need for wings

Phoenix Quixote

Plates of quills and fruit that doubt the flight of green
Have called for authors from the castle joy to
Offer up these naked flames disguised as words
Enveloping a universe of laughter
Neither knight nor damson sighs can douse without
Intoxicating waters, energised by
Xanthus vines' and madder jewels' enchanted mouths

Questing beards and capacious smiles raise the day
Upon the devil of a shepherd's shoulders
Ill-defended windmills battle with the mind's
Xenogenetic fruit of wings unfolding
Orchestrated by the science of a muse
These salutations quest for ceremony
End with love in this refreshing xenium

You heard that

The power of the crush

"I am gripped by the needs of barbarous hands, am spun around, until blood has formed my new skin".

There’s a cat who lives in fuzzy whispers
Hucker down, Hucker down
A cat that eats just mushroom fritters
In the lo∪ong grass

"I rue the barbed and narrow minded gesture whose conclusion leads me to believe I don't belong".

Fire out of the eardrums. Fire out of the heart. Fire out of the nostrils. What kind of beast inhabits these dreams? I'll give you solitaire. I'm being bullied into shape, by god knows what? Outside, I see limping horses, a shadow ranging over land. A shadow in the shape of a bow tie, upon a crisp white shirt that lends the eyes a seal of governance. I have been awoken before by this bellowing. The whole house groans. I've waited for sieges of rats to enter this pantry and tear from the tips of the fingers the light that is used to ensnare the people of Main. A light called money.

Here is a lake. The water is quite still. I must lay here and breathe.

"I have a polite request."
"You do, what's that?"
"Poop."
"That's not polite."
"I said it politely."
"I can't."
"Why not? You know that when you poop your words smell like butter jam."
"Only the long ones."
"The long words are the last words."
"You are the exit."

Under the microscope I would be gone.

Singing brings Ecclesiastes to blister

Singing brings Ecclesiastes to blister
Wonder why
The mouth is open
Anna forms a muscular sky
Intoxicated
Drumroll please
For reason read
Distortion lock out bones ride
A Summer water wrung from
Optics ocean-side retains
A kind of potency
Reserved
A throwback door
To feelings brave inert suspension

You lift your rock
You feel its weight
You set it down
You weep
Submit a stream
A backwind claw
To tear your childhood glances
Into shapes you recognise
As friends

A strangled word
Takes mirrors
To invoke
Unconscious conscious outlines
For collapsing hands
Some drawn from ignorance
And others drawn from style

Beat the monkey smooth
Resume a texting game
Surprise is like an anxious sleep
Ergo, a bitch brave taboo

Social Document for the Restoration of Tantrums

There's nothing to be gained from liking me
I'll cut out flowers
I'll set them free
I'll give them
Context

Life is a challenge
That's what it is
You heard it said
In some old song
Life is a dream
That's what it is

In my dream I am happy
Happy to be on the winning side
Happy to love like this
And all the people of the world
Are cheering

As my hero fits
Into his podium
He says what I hear
And I laugh inside
I know I need this
It makes me real
Because you know
I could never succeed
It wasn't my place
To do so
Loved ones left behind
Could not buoy me
Between the poles
Of brightly coloured futures
Stripped of comprehension
See, if you'll allow me to indulge myself
For a moment
Here we have Walter
He's five foot six eight
And has a squint
He is short and furry
A child is weeping
Weave brain restore
It is a jolly life
Is this one
It needs your blood to burn
It isn't my fault
I don't do
The things I shouldn't do
Did you see the news?
My normalising programme
I'm sure you didn't
It wasn't on
What you saw was
Mainline rushes
Now don't try to prove
You're wrong
You haven't dreamed enough
Your dreams a poison

But I'm not sad
I'm just an idiot
Sad is dull, a daily wheel
That's lubricated by
The misery of others

It's What I Mean Is

Sometimes the sky

Sometimes the sky is as light as a wafer and floats upward. I don't dream of anything and more. Inspiration wears the armature of errant soldiers. I am here. I am gone. My love coils glassed and silvered abstracts. I am lost both inside and out. When the dull footsteps are done the patterned leaves design an other road. It screams. The washers' chorus lends the boats that gently rock the river's ways a chord to ring the neck wrong waves astounding. I leave the mouth of the sky to straddle rocks and wear them away but slowly. Inside, beneath the polished glands of time are crabs, whose irritated mouths I wipe free of worries with a finger, gentle as rain.
