Tut

He wants to take me, bring me to the time of the Great Pyramids
I'll be dressed in gold
and we'll both go down, down, down
life's everchanging corridor
We are invincible
We are amazing
We are a fantastic couple
destined for greatness
We are the stuff of ancient civilisation
the stuff of dreams
We tunnel back through time
Clay falls from the walls
the earth doesn't settle
Can't see in front of us
bits flying
and where'll he take me in these wrteched helicopter flights of my imagination
To be honest,
I'm all about the bits
He's more abot the bite
I want the propellers to Stop chopping in my head
Let me go forward
Let me have my dream

Hush, hold my hand

Banker Puppets Nowhere to Hide


One of the many images and placards seen on the streets of Dublin at yesterday's protest march where 100,000+ attended despite the snow.

Bath time dearest

For fun
I wash him
Rub him
Giggle drizzle water down his back

Then I pour half a bottle of white spirits over his head

Screams of horror
Panic, fear of blindness, general ding aling alarm

I didn't mean it
I swear
I'm sorry
Oh God
Oh God
Oh God

I sit back, wet handed
confused
It was a mistake
It was
Or?

Later, quite a bit later
Calm arrives
We dry his eyes
and he trusts again

My turpentine valentine
I'm dizzy, greedy for his flesh

I feel treacherous
Because I really do want him dead

Beastly love

Segismundo
is too good a name,
gives depth and nobility where it's lacking,
I need to conjure a real beast who commits beast-like acts,
such as love

such was love
such was the not love love
the beastly love
the black bottom of a barrel love

pressurise
inhabit
subsume
imprison

shatter the glass

hard luck, cowboy....
there is unfathomable safety inside this wall of words

Otter on a bicycle













Smiling, sweating, singing
I glide southwards
yearning
Sniffing Sea

There,
about me bodies undress
walk, wade, paddle
I pant

Park, peel, plunge
into
Ocean
dive deep, bob up
Feast on sky

Twirling
Otter like
Flipping with the waves

Home: home with the fishes
