The machine grinds its teeth
Abrading old fears into new hopes
Trading yesterday's dreams for
Tomorrow's blank page
Yesterdays rage for a wet and
Shapeless mass
Ink bleached, meaning fading
Nothing into nothing wading
A joke-What do you get when
You combine every conceivable
Storyline?
Pulp

Sometimes in the wood you'll cross
A well rotted chunk of what used
To be a tree
Decked in mossen verdigris
And ok it's not an Angel
But it might as well be
Nothing could be gentler or more refined
Is that faith?
To sublimate the soul to soil
And toil away
Hoping to join the Angels someday

The grave diggers spade
Plays a soft, a sonorous song
Gently dirt hits the dirt
As the work carries on
And in symphony sometime
The blade bites a stone
Makes a gong of our spade
Plays a musical tone
Sets the dust motes to shiver
Then, quivering, fades
As a subtler music
Falls over the grave

See how their ghosts pirouette
Suggesting the vast and abetting caprice
The tense and release
The spring and recover
The fall and the rise
See them turn and pretend
Blending beginnings for ends
And by chance, in the dance
See them catching your eyes
Now and again and again

#idolatry
Once or twice or edelweiss
I've idolised the skies, it's true
And fell as snow is want to do
To rest upon the mountain too

And in that failing light, that cold
I glimpsed the whole world
rendered gold
And melting felt it would suffice

To feed your roots
my edelweiss

#Savant
Fenchurch
Turgidity
Luminescence
Serendipity
Whispers
Eurythmia
Undulation
Or maybe, a small moth
Hardly more than dust
Drowning in a drop
Of water
See, if I had a violin
I'd let it sing the refrain
While it's bow suggested
That thing
Once a wing
Now a stain

#skirmish

Would it comfort you
Oh soldier, to know
Your ghost has teeth
And stands behind
Your standard now
Stark naked as the
Dark and wreathed
In prayers for blood
And cruelty, would it
Come as some relief
To know your soul
Is smiling as you grind
Betwixt it's teeth

#Rook

Feather light on castle
Walls she glides across
The land to stand alone
And at the edge of all
Watching the old king
Fall

#cummerbund
She writhes as snakes
Or silk about my waist
As wet, as holy
Breathless asks me who
I love, I pray
This moment only
Then pull her tight
On flesh, in flesh
In sodden light
Inthralled we thrash
And thunder as the
Symbols crash
Lets loose our
Lonely
Ghosts

Powdered my invalid culture
Micro plastic and tat, a melange
Turns on the blade of the blender
Wont you feed it the corpse of your home
Don't be somber oh soulful, surrender
Let the spice mix your palette invade
Come feast on the chemical splendor
Of this bitter masala we've made

There is a hand
That will not take
Control

Unmoved it lays
In much the way
The sunlight rays
Do not

Might the sleeper yet
Awake, from dreams
Of blood and nation
States, to fall and on
A prism break
Revealing our self
To our soul

Then let us fall
To rainbows
Till
We're
Whole
