river - storm - the moon
the spring tide - the mounting waves -
ginger hair - spiral

journey in the dark
leaving behind memory's
phosphorescent wake

the herringbone mind
the natural dyes of tweed
the croft by the sea

naked in silence
standing in the dark and rain -
a fine mist falling

my head full of rain
the dark moon lost behind clouds
the bridge is washed clean

Luna seas of dust
a hope beyond my lifetime
sailing companion

my own bile chokes me
I suffocate in hatred -
still learning to love

i wish i was kind
deep down i call you a cunt
I poison myself

I hear the drumming
it's just the sound of the rain -
wash away the moon

the stagnant river
the smell of your love for him.
Be happy for you?

I eat the gravel
and smell the scent of grey paint
moon dust is my soap

the planet in space
my bubble of consciousness
air molecules drift

the smoke, the metal,
the charcoal, the forge, the sword,
yaki-modoshi

thawing out with jazz
cranberry juice and orange
the floating darkness

paper in water
soft pulp sunlight made lignin
a new element

maggots and bad milk
electrical flex noose - break -
mogadon escape

Fruit tea and clean boots
Tortellini and chicken
the simple touches

fill my arteries
with sausage fat, soured cream
and cheese - life is short

little by little
despite the nargles biting
progress is achieved

hand print on the wall
period mixed with semen
we danced together

the diamonds, the silk
the chocolate, the shadows
the darkness and hope

sing to me of rain
and the girl just out of reach -
daylight hidden stars

blinkered and frantic
there's a riot in my head -
a focus then peace

the social contract
broken by the feckless poor,
or the government,
where's hope for the underclass?
Divided society

a bottle of wine
some chicken in the oven
a film on TV

I want to be washed
clean of all the darkness which
paralyses me

I swim in the rain
you dance on the beach naked -
rainbow between us

the only escape
when the anxiety dreams come
is insomnia

I drift in shadows
muttering jangles and scraps,
in search of a fix

I died and became
a dispersing atom crowd
like ink in the sea

slip under water
mingle with the light - fine points
of supplicant rain

shower of fragments
melody and razor blades
catharsis silver

dissolve the salt blood
drain the blue memory pool
free the green river

the summer heat rings
silent bell washing waves - notes -
air resonating

measure the pain of
the broken bones of silence -
mute howl flooded nerves
