No More Snow, No More Weeds



Did you have your memory covered
In a hundred white layers of snow?
Would you be buried by an avalanche
If I ran away to you
If I ran back to you?
I let my memory go to weeds
The flowers died and blossoms withered
I forgot about the bulbs
I forgot about the summer
I walked beneath the sweet cool elm
Like one in which we climbed and kissed
And my heart shuddered- grew warm again
And those bulbs they grew
They shot from the ground
The weeds they withdrew and the flowers of your memory blossomed
And I wanted to run away to you
Back to you

Are you who you used to be?
Do you daydream about the closeness?
About the Heroes and the Myths?
About the centre of the world
In which we stand
O! have you changed?
These memories haven't, tho numbed they've been
I've missed you boy
I've missed you
And all I ask is think of me and let the avalanche fall
Be crushed, be smothered!
I will come and melt it all, I will find you
I will warm you in my garden
Amongst the bulbs
Amongst the trees
Amongst the elms
And we will climb one and kiss
No more snow and no more weeds
Just two boys in a tree kissing in the sun

Lake Daff-Dilly

Fish on the water Scales floating back and forth Grey clouds hanging high White clouds beneath A naked man asleep Drowsy with whiskey Strange sunlight on his calves His chest slowly rising, slowly falling The smell of wild herbs Smoke from the kitchen fire Sex on old blankets Lost on Lake Daff-Dilly Old myths talk of death The women think of birth Some wish they could leave The men pray on boats Trout stumble in their wake Drunk on the water's cold The flies were made by old hands The rod belonged to a dead uncle God I hope there is more whiskey The fire is still going I want you on old blankets Lost on Lake Daff-Dilly

Blind Me And Guide Me

What is it you want me to believe in? Is it the flock of birds flying like joined roses floating The peak of sensual age? I turn Twenty Nine and the climax is mine The plea of a generation held together by torture? The torture of the prophets- Whitman, he nurses us Is it the course touch of a hand roughened by sand and rock? The path that applauses every step to Sodom The generous buddhist- bearded with eyes closed? In bed with the russian before dawn, We Let Him Down! The cold winter warmed by cynicism and a centuries irony? You can warm my arse with your country charm The poets lining their pockets with fools gold? Lining up to be shot by the artists- a war with out generals The skeleton with eyes to the stars? Awake and noticing how the apple never rots Is it the shop keeper that keeps everything shaded? The man who keeps a statue of Apollo at the bottom of his pool The mongrel God of Egypt and Babylon? So large his nose was singed by the sun Is it the song of hope written in the s

Whose Language Will I Speak?

Allow me a little time to rest the clamour Upon the contours of your form The mirror gaze within your reply Will flash and fall and rise and build response Verbal shouts and gutteral groans In my room we both are right In hotels we are wrong Where will we die? Where will we scatter? Face down, lovers bodies, Russian grasses, Russian ice Before that I will paint you I will bury you in colour, on canvas While you tell me of your youth Of chasing birds and pretending you could fly The clamour is merely collection of one stands A collection of songs Trapped within my head, resting on your form And the guardian angles are sculpted into the architecture And I can see beautiful shade below your stomach As your leg is raised and it is an arch One to hold and make prayers from As I bow down and taste the flesh of man What will happen to us? Where will you die? You who was born to the poet and the siren Where will I go? Me, the hunter who has yet to return from the hi
