FAITH ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH
Quilltippedinks broad and throat-like
spoke to the skin of papers
drafted in the monksssssleep of the Hague,
the careless meander of fingers
over bone shelves oily,
we palate a rapport from angel-fugs
rapturous in their delicate dischord,
splayed prayers woollenly deliver
sacrifice over the passive eyes
and lips
and chaps
and fashions of romance,
Parables of Mexican food
help us...

'Enchanted soliloquies
echo brilliant in
the lowing raptures
of twilight.'
I pointed out
the portrait your father drew on your wall
as you sewed the buttons to my coat,
laying
half awake half of the day,
eating the blues and drinking the whisky
my muscles remember
even if the deposits of time since don't.
I no longer live on the Northern Line,

DOWNTURN
Show creature's intent,
beckon taunt tannings
in the early throttles of sunrise,
dulcet groans in my quickening ear
stare down the parlour stars,
he wishes he knew if she had come
only to rattle
without a meep,
cold and outside on the downside
he sits
crouched sucking a cigarette
kicking vintage Cola bottles around the bins out back.
The freedom to obey holidays

I'm good, man. Off to New York City in a few hours, my last trip before she moves here.
Which is cool and a little bit of a bummer.
The account here just...lingers. They'll catch on soon, I'm sure.
Still writing, writing, writing.
How are you? Still seeing London with different eyes?

BLONDE
How hard it is to sit half hearted,
with a bottle of wine and glass open wide
we talked for a time,
eyes walking a line
as we laughed at the way we used to dance.
New Wave, an emboldening phrase
for the gutless and depraved,
more an enclave of the enslaved
than the better faith of a deadening smile
stroking across my face....

A day trip on the broken blue
slooping on a crest wave
in the imagination magazine glow of that woman next to me.
Funny how therapy makes me want to piss.
Births broken spokes and ragged hopes
finding fire in the ideas of an artless choir,
sung and hung by the funds of a viscount left in a funk
we cup her breasts as...

WAR WIDOW
Delightful guile illuminates the smile
in the graceful eyes of your body's most recent reveille,
Lighting the way to the trail
of the midday marches with the fairground trade,
smithy laid baskets of bread made
in wholewheat and pine wood nails.
The missed harvest of an angel's belief
divined in cottages amongst angular Snowden's contoured reliefs.
Aquiline water tethered in kicks of hair...

The Best Of Pride
The first of the pride sleeps,
always the first to lay down alms
at the end of the row.
Passing florets of Collette's
little blue flowers flowering just a little blue,
just a little too late.
Useful lips in a swaying clinch,
that last inch between the kiss
became the breath of breaking health seconds before relief.
Listening to the afternoon...

DISARMS
Resetting bones on a tiger's palm
we touch the flat edge of the mirrored sabre
upon the supple serpent,
the supine answer upon milk-ed skin.
The sacred prayer of legs parted
soothes dreams put to test
down crumpled bed sheets,
the rain running ruin over mid-May,
Plying wine into the fearful scopes
of a hunter,
brought to bare
on the sacrificial sights of a...

THE SINGULARITY
When I am running
the singularity
is all that matters,
my body tied in motion pounding the beat of the heart
into the tarmac underfoot.
the heat of the skin warmed by perspiration
glistens in the eye of the runner,
the course swept in light rain
and invective winds.
The knowing half smile exchanged with other furrowers.
Glimmered in the coincidental rotations of...

CUCINA CONTADINA
The young bride's lips hunch and curve
tears into the glass bowl memorial,
dead spouses
craving one last brush of the cheek,
embraces that make the day longer and the half-life shorter.
Come day,
come the peace of peals aloud,
manila pages scented
by bananas left out in the sun too long,
the charcoaled wood of the picnic bench
supping grazed lichen fallen...

DOWN THE MOUNTAIN
Of trees and shadows,
the tears of a brook curling through the curvatures of Ben Nevis.
So,
I sit,
I smoke,
I unbarrell the flask of stewed tea,
I take a shit.
The roots of grass underneath my belly
feel suited and soothed by a nip of scotch added to the brew
from the dusty bottle I nursed all through the winter....

Take me to the place
where you do the things you do to men.
True to form,
this time more tangled than the last.
Yet I'm still dampening in the breakers,
brushing each stone
to keep me busy here by the shore.
It was there I sat all silver eared
letting you talk over me,
in the mist of this fear I recognised these...
