Thistle and Vine

Im found turned up on the couch
Next to you while you watch Bond
I have the land of Oz under my tongue
There is no where for this day to run
Except out
I can touch my own sense of daily pattern
And I know this town like I know my own information
I can hear the music I want to hear
And I feel myself grow bigger
In every way
Sulky countries aren't too far away
One tin plane and one dead month
I can hear the moments and I don't know if you will get the postcard
I know where the sun is
I know where it will set
There is every chance I will wish at least one wish tonight
And with all those horses waiting for their riders
It makes me wonder
It makes me think of what is best
And the drummer shouldn't worry
Like the blue eyed that scan the page looking for the saved soul
We can find it
Planes fly a long way
We walk along dirt paths
And the crescent eyes are guided by words that are said to the hills
I can think of the sun I can think of the speakers
Spanish flowers and sexual errors
A great trumpet that will be blasted to the stars
Im here but I'm looking through the dark room
I am 'Jamming my fingers in the back door'
Running my hand over thistle and vine
There isn't enough time for the patterns of this art
And as you kick the air I see the countryside open
The peaking moment passes
We are all just hear now
Bearing each others passing genius
I know that you are the man in the park
The child on the carpet
The person turned up on the couch
Wondering on the city he never liked
It is a fresh moment that exists on the brow
Long and cool
The institution and the gallery
Where I will hold you in installation
Until sold at auction

THE RIDDLE, THE FLAW, AND THE PUNISHMENT

If I am beautiful am I real? Like the boys on the 24th floor They are beautiful I don't know how to reach them I don't know how they got there Are they real? Are they the small book of poems Left beneath Sebastian's tree A page for each face A sonnet for each precious, beautiful, life of the boys on the 24th floor Each pulling at the others clothes baring chests and thighs some smooth like stone Some coarse with hair like velvet If I am beautiful Do I exist Do these boys on the 24th floor exist? Are they merely the temperature, the weather? The blush across my cheeks? How do I find this hidden floor? Where the bed is a sacred alter Holding those Beautiful fellows Are the words of the bible A book for each? Or merely strains of Liliaceae Showing their holy strength in the force of their stalk and colour They are the beautiful Those boys on the 24th We artist and poets we search for ever And what of us? Are we not beautiful? Are we not real? Why is it we never find the 24th...

The Moon is a Transvestite

The Moon is the greatest of Transvestites She holds the bruises of school bullies Her makeup is better than any lady you will meet Better than my bullish sister Better than the painted prostitutes of media Better than the young men of music The Moon she gets up on stage once a month Puts on her sequinned show Parading and dancing and showing us the theatre or romance and space And then she will slowly draw her blinds Closes her door Allows herself to rest Sitting on her favourite lounge Wearing her favourite satin gown Watching reruns of an old detective show I love The Moon

An Ode To Pain

You just drink to get drunk to dance And you just dance to have a brief taste of myth You don't shave sometimes to feel criminal And when you do you feel exceptionally last century The music you listen to was written by a man with woolly hair His cock was large and his genius was broad He found he could run fast when the rock fences were falling As you found were decidedly slow But the punches and the kicks felt alright Something to write to Frederico about An ode to pain perhaps, an ode to Sadism And where will the return address be? What land, city, bridge? Are you to dwell in the orchard all your life Pissing against the same trees as the other artists? Sleeping on top of the shadows, trying to slow the light Did you ever hear the myth of the Frenchman and the sailor? The Sailor fucked the Frenchman upon a ship that was carrying peaches From America to the port of Lamoux The more they fucked the more peaches were destroyed Until by the time they were hit b...
