You are a stroller, walker, wanderer, idle and dispassionate observer of the vulgar and sullen sceptre of human repair. You will back-up, swerve, curve, climb or descend to near or far, but never to go straight and rarely slow, to step outside the alien apathy of the freshly colonized collective hubris of modernity. You have […]

Ode To A Republic
Born of the release from ancient moorings So sweet the taste of an incorporate tether But for the mother’s abundant breast Came forth to renew a maternal test Soft was the joyous wake A rapture where only some would go The blood of marrow lined a fettered drape Cast beside a celestial glow A distant […]
Ode To An Assassin
From: Une Sparo Let not be the confusion of subtle minds Tis distaste for mine, not but for love May thee alter when such alliteration finds Or, risk sway the order of Zeus above? Venus gives rise a course of impertinent cheeks Bearing or bending the needle hath come Fate suffers not as it cravenly […]
Ode To Aubade
From “Aubade” By Philip Larkin The cru that brings the flickering light towards the soundless dark, a bitter stare Another night of your palsied fright – Another aube closer – to being There. Fear not friend a sudden wake Or the rapture where fools seek to go Neither song, nor flight will angels take – […]
Paris In Pros
Above – This is the third most densely populated city in Europe. The Haussmann buildings stand close. Miles – miles – miles and miles. The high ceiling ground floor “mezzanine” for shops. “Noble” second floor with balconies and rich window frames. Third and fourth floors with poor window frames. No balconies. The Fifth floor is […]
Ode To A Golden Mean
“I’ll kill him.”, he said hand on his hips Four-score and six a sobering sight It pursed the brow and quaked the lips – I summoned my best to be terse but polite. “The cheek is soft both left and the right” “Between his eyes, I hate this man.” “The still of the night serves […]
Patients
Your being that inverts such hallowed silence; Pure be the fluid shallows steep within the whole Set to arouse truth as a malleable form of transient Light; Ascend then towards your conscious allure; For pure are the precious gifts too procure Bring forth the quiet restraint of permanent sight Bring forth the quiet restraint of […]
Something Personal
Personal Man Seeking Woman I am lean, probing, “a child of Cancer” – Given to modest spirits; the sensorial fragrance of distant shag. You are slight, sassy, smart, sensuous. We will dance beneath the innocences of a dark moon; bathe in the essence of oleaceae; bond endlessly adorned by the lustful drift of sweet jasmine […]
Revolution
Liberté, égalité and fraternity. The inalienable rights of all men some said. But, They replaced the tripartite motto with Robespierre’s head, a forty square metre apartment, bright orange walls, a shower curtain in red with the faded image of Marilyn Monroe. Châz
Silence
Swift you be sensuous sweet silence. Will you come to dispose of your quiet repose. Oh, Oh, Oh the moments of quiet refrain, a timeless breach gives chance respite to Echo’s dins, or a Helios grin. Swift you be sensuous sweet silence. Come now to dispose of your quiet repose. Oh, Oh, Oh the moments […]
Sittin’ On your Tuffett
Inspired by: “Little Miss Muffett” Songs for the Nursery (1805) T’was a cuddled bare Buffett On the brittle brisé tuffett, Braced only with pledges of hay; Along came brash Chieder, A clever insider Who said all you need is some clay. Therefore bare buffett Wanting no longer to tough it, Set about to gather a pence; […]
Stasis
Running from the wind Chitter to remis Running from the wind – A fractured face Running from the wind – O’Man on pace Running from the wind – Hate let pass for fare Love bequest The haunt of Mère Running from the wind – Despair a cratic maze Hope a fool be crazed Running from […]
