Sketches

I’m so tired,
quit talking so I can
close my eyes and see
an orchard on the membrane,
passionate fruits of the mind.
Hats off to exotic dancers,
a neutered franchise that
bleeds ink and stains bed sheets
with a memory;
Baby,
promise me you’ll never forget.
Baby,
I’m glad you can’t see me now,
wiping the crust from junkie eyes
and watching the sun rise
like a dictator.
Stupid, stupid sunrise,
I swear you’ll be the death of me –
isn’t it enough
to bring sobriety to a desperate man?
Now you mean to tease me
with the promise of a new dawn,
tomorrow today but never now
because we live six seconds at a time,
sketches in a picture book
that no-one ever opens.

We Need to Come Together (With Rombi & Joshua Gifford)

 

Electric Dreams

harsh mesh messed hard hair

have seen bad dreams

in hat red red hat

black star parked car on

driven drove of white

light quite bright white light

second sight white light

third reich almost not quite

black cherry two long loose lines

more alive than large cards

crowbars barred crows he crowed

to the bar, to the bar, too far

blue billiards’ battered balls

chalked choked checked

churched change to old hobo
