Poems
Assorted, a small sample, may be read, sang, digested, printed off and used as a fan etc. Best performed really. I do that from time to time.
Welcome to the papoose
Where earth tones are flesh tones
Welcome to the papoose
Where we eat dirt and swell
Welcome to the papoose
Where rotting is giving
Welcome to the papoose
Where we play in our sleep.
Welcome to the papoose
Where nipples are communal
Welcome to the papoose
and lichen spreads across your belly
Welcome to the papoose
Where who are you is me
Welcome to the papoose
Where their clatter can’t reach
Welcome to the papoose
Welcome welcome us we
Welcome to the papoose
Let’s play in our sleep
A lot of wall enthusiasts kicking about
Lot of door enthusiasts too Less in the way of floor lovers
But the cornicing appreciators help make up the numbers
Stick
if i write a love
poem to a stick
they will laugh
if i simply love a stick
they will laugh
but feel weird about it
if i dedicate my whole
self to a stick
they will begin to
question their
sense of humour
making eye contact
with a shitting sheep
i begin to questions
our collective conspiracy
to shit in private
i long to
see a loved one
strain and squat
winking out waste
i long to listen
for their colon sigh
a splash plod or thud
an intimacy heard, smelt
and savoured
Revolting
the pigeons are revolting
i want to go
the snails are revolting
i want to go
the forecasts are revolting
i want to go
their smiles are revolting
i want to revolt
