There is a rational truth – there is a poetic truth.
The poetic, which by its very nature is inherently erotic, has no need of the rational for its justification
Thus:
I sucked honey from your breast while you slept
I was the water you swam in
I was the wavelet that rippled over your thighs to enter your sex like a hungry explorer where I remained
Until
The white foam that fell on the white strand you slept on
Was all of my glittering seed

Oxford Road Station, Manchester
A wino with a yellow-grey beard
Sits on platform 3 reading Heine.
He smiles to himself in his difference
Like the man who touched the wires
And lit up the evening with flames.
Following Bukowski
Sitting here alone gulping finite beer
I listen again to New York City Serenade
And write poem after poem like Bukowski
Though he liked Mahler not Springsteen
And didn’t have to try and follow himself

swallow the pips and a tree will grow inside my belly
confidence being a commodity
bought not with cash-exchange but pounds of flesh
to a new brighter happier more positive you
like a fucking washer-drier or some such shit
worrying all night about the content of an email
a rotten and oozing core lies at the heart of me
congregating in corridors / planning an assassination

those Leeds streets and that shopping list
we go up and down the supermarket aisles
ticking off ingredients on Saturday morning

a worm is shitting out its disease
I think I have diabetes

An Anabranch With Slug
Robotic Pastoral in honour of Raymond Roussel
metal hands are weak pastoral produce
pleasure of insects rich them insects
night falls at the feet of the emperor
beneath my warped jacket i the prize
pleasure of insects rich them insects
modified his humble other staged stag
beneath my warped jacket i the prize
a little singing naturally violent and abrupt
modified his humble other staged stag
the man horse oz was so tender so he was
a little singing naturally violent and abrupt
towards that sponge beard men - advance
the man-horse oz was so tender so he was
sick girl compressed inside her shoulders
towards the sponge beard men - advance
grape counts on exiting delightful basket
