So Sang The Swallow


Aggressive contemplation
A jar full of suspended grace
Don't believe in the garden locked
Here are the real men- waiting
Aware of the murder
The game has no ruler
Keep in mind the thoughtless
Destroy the neutral son
All alone within the setting
Pretending the ache can be swallowed
Fire it destroys the glove
And the car wilts the grass below
The horse watches the water
Bodies are the new numerals
Didn't the police enter through the gate?
No one will press the button
The glass reflects the electronics
So sang the swallow
Tribal rhythm strums the weeds
Alone beneath the sandy bank
Inherited expression left with flower and quartz
The photo will be folded and pressed
Not everyone will agree
Some are born in May
All are thieves
Wings make invaluable music
Clouds bark as boats burn
Electric cinema melts all romance
Grace is corroded by the good
Mud is worn on the faces of scholars
The violinist hanged himself
Spoiled with the ocean breeze in the night
No one believed in the radio waves
Alone the climax was unheard
Drought was garnered by the girl
The strum of the clock was played out twice
Danger
So sang the swallow
Death to the player of the shine
Its a return to the original conception
All doubt is given away for normality
Seeing as the razor is cold the face must be warm
Grey light begins to dance on the nest
Delay all telescope hope
The hearing is set for May
The joints start to hurt when the light is off
Bronze bracelets stolen from an idea
So sang the swallow

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
