My Guardian Angel Hates Me

The arch of the world arched inwards
Silent sunshine
Like some unbalanced wood house
Construed to be meaningless...
Stop!
I say,
Jazzy temperature of nuclear lightbulb mojo lights up,
Working hours a day aches feet arching forward over
These lips haunt me plain milk
These eyes fringed love of eyes of silk,
Why she hates me is another reason.

Up the alleyway rains for teeming doused
Roads jumper sodding jumper hair and head
Totally wet.
Okay. What black world sky!

What milky bland glass
Plain tabula does she think she’s writing on?
She disappeared for months vanished
And then comes back
Just like that.
What? Just made of milk? Or what?
Cider. A fringe of happiness. A pout.
What a fucking waste, half-misconstrued
Half wasted; what a waste of time with my
Guardian angel,
Green, grassy green...
Red, blood red...
Blue, ice
Bad
Stoic
Unpleased.

Her hair is cut over her eyes
Her tongue behind her lips.

Fast

Things go fast:
Not eating.
Starving shrivelled stars;
Skinny sky in stars,
Moon the world the verse
The song the worst the best.


Quick.
Like swallow a clump of food.
Or like
Nothing but air
Like who’s got nothing but air.

Every Time She Turns

She passes her weather shelter
Fr evry suave young man
n evry young young man
Wnts 2 meet her
In evry way they can.

Bt she pays the world 2 turn
Away n board the walls,
n she smells o’ rose n apple
n alcohol on ‘er breath
n evry time they close in on ‘er
She turns away evry way she cn.

Read About A Cat

Read about a cat
With four ears
For years handled about bars,
Now hangs around bars for kicks,

He hangs around most places
Like outside my place,
Nine tails flow flow flow in the wind,
Smiling smelling of metal and burn.

When I turn my head 9:00 evry night
5 evry morning,
Cat kisses fleas vermin on their backs
Cat scratch fever covered in rats.

Hats off to the catch of the day,
Thank you, disease, ill o’nine,
All mine unclean All mine,
Not yours not the captain’s daughter’s not anyone’s.

Outside

Living for warm layered bodies
Seeing friends disappear,
Reappear, death and love,
Becoming themselves slow & bashful taste,
Becoming mindless & musicians searching for a future,
Mindful washcloth;
Showers scalding,
Blisters bathed and nursed in white
Plastic rooms
Unnatural foliage, unreal people,
Crawling and dragging
Our bodies over hollow grounds,
Waxy moping dump, showing ourselves
Hiding ourselves selling ourselves hinting
At nothing that exists between concrete scarcely speaking,
Books, pens, paper unlimited writing,
Fingers bandaged shoes soiled
On water-soaked floors
Glistening too much
Sweat washed with rain
The smell of half of my life
No money standing
Smoking calling the girls,
Frightened rabbits at every
Slammed door at dawn bearded sunlight
Does not even echo
Poetry to die for, to kill for,
To keel over without eating for hours on end,
Ribs showing muscles still there soft
Atrophied shrivelled tongues
Being put
In the most natural of places
In Hell with everyone else.

Streets

On some dark street stronger than I
We practically gathered enough sense
To mark the drizzle between us;
We drizzled between streets at eleven.
We met half-faced sometimes half-human.
The sweet echo of return,
And to the same spot again
Noting the sour gong of bronze
Under the eyebrow of the brutish conqueror
Of nights – the psychotic clack clack
Of a stick against concrete pavement,
Our reflection truly does not exist,
Nor even the song of the denizen.

Our upheaval sings itself awake
Between bus stops the ink blots through clouds,
Looking at self: the eyes are lost at sea,
Grey/green, slit-winded the sand weathers me down;
And cheek-to-cheek not dissimilar to the iron face,
A surface cast like rusted bronze, as hard as a peach stone.
Delicate mousey eyes like caviar,
We bolt for the door the rain begs for touch,
We hear noises in a twilight Mexican standoff
Makes me love desertion – let me burst!

You carry your eyesight wherever you go,
Giving til now to carry God on your back.
Your shoulders perch and ache arching forward
The bicentennial peace talk with its enemies.
You use the bathroom to escape the desert,
Such moments you hold in your shoes.
Such Kodak moments never hide the moments
Of the diazepam or sloppy vegetable grins.

I awake at 5 am, under sick-pale sky
Weaving through the birds, the sparrow at its prime,
Each scattered pubescent landscape at their own
Herbal scream; the petal echoes
It’s hardly guessed work.

Ma Boheme

I walked hands in pockets,
Suitcase in car driving home,
Travelled from ideal star-wrinkled sky
Away from sick ugly egos
Their hands in their pockets.

At home no job; a big ache whole
Great memory stole my life from me.
And the young-aged sun shelved spoke:
“You've got venom. I need a smoke.”

And unless peace a war with peace
Shall fix calm again and again,
Then unstoppable wild motions
Untame me like mad ugly egos

Ma bohéme the rested the bare-feet
Chalky skin concrete smelling in stains of grass lavander and mint,
So no where to walk now
I will travel again with my ego somehow.

Baby

Love heart tramp thanks alot
For lift I’ll walk the rest of the way
Red heat dormant evil street
Women heavy brooding loving singing
Songs of sixpence each with their own itch
Each buries their own
Love hate reality black/silver universe talking
Nobody said
A word says: Baby,
Parental advisory, we like to take the town lazy
Language between sexes maybe heavy,
Red sixpence loves brooding alot,
Black/silver reality universe, hyper real,
Karma quick advisory, baby,
Each buries their own itch,
Thanks walk rest loving evil street dormant,
Lift up love itch hate dormant evil a word:
Baby.

To The Perfect

To the perfect
Who perfected everything down
To the very littlest detail of the cockroaches’ shaved hair
The jungle crossroads of all the millionths of cotton,
The wink of the flea who bit me on the arm.

This perfect
Chinese letter I cannot read,
These cluttered bookshelves with my books,
My hungry pockets wires and the blue L shape
Of my inhaler.

The smell of food: is that potato?
The smell in the shape of steam wavers
Into the room,
What is perfect in clarity?

The divorce of rooms and bare toes
And unshowered bodies; and the music deconstructs the sounds
Of air and central heating.

A great roaring cough scratches my throat,
The limping cat in the garden,
In the hair of grass, wishes like chinese letters,
And disinfected love smells bleachy,
Almost hindu-dotted forever,
Ca a l'air de rimer.

Experience Reincarnation

Sick dog sitting coughing, guitar struck glottal meaning,
Cut skin limp in foot no nasal breath
Wrist pain, drowsy,
By lamplight this place is dusty,
Coughing thru night: headaches
Wheezing shadows behind TV,
Must the dust beg you, says I?


Cloaked man, unblamed and free
Skinny xylophone chest the stomach
Dipthong
the Karma
Jimmy is in the courthouse
Riding his drink to Hell.


I come back to my
Voice kamikaze singer
Having experienced
The great laughter in the first semester.
Tissues banked up,
Lamp dims orange light slim feminine eyes
distanced
The yellow sun spikes
Cemented chest, the heavy –


The avenue's bright photogenic citric death
Just as fruity indoors – gratzi governo ....
Just as the lamp empties the room
This empties the world outdoors.
Too exhausted
to dream of the powerless
Marvellous windowless hops on wets rocks
By the lake with deep impressions
of
balance.

Now one world pining for life, the other pining
Yama running around
Narayana
black clouds part blue sky storms
half-dead drenched experience
Becomes your meeting place.

Sacrifice

This time we are still
As silent as ever;
Unmoving spoon,
Sock uneaten sweat immobile
Stomach empty

Sacrifice –

The easy-freedom
The ever-so-quiet mouth
made bland the newspaper
job listings

Give up quit let go
Honestly the free go slow
lying down

The poverty of
Stolen hands rest
Rotting skin boat and armies;

Pretending my jacket's convenience
In Summer
Is convenient for nothing?

This Machine

We described each other with invisible bodies of imagination,
Lying down 3 hours a rhythmic beating
A good solemn witchcraft by ourselves – sounds good
Off to bed still like my guardian angel –
Too Late! She said. The damage has been done
Like a broken doll describing her features touching her smooth
Porcelain face – hard/cold nothing could touch.
The heavy not-so-glorious-now clouds my horizons,
Wet grass smells like shampoo, newly washed hair,
The glorious monument to our bodies – To Drink!
All artistic radio and the small microscopic antennae of the masses –
The mesmerising backsteps of anxious children,
Sing into a lightbulb the light comes from my mouth,
Heavy rain grazes the garden
Fades away a leaf floats in black puddle.
This machine kills
Kills you all,
You shouldn't be talkin' to me, I make you drunk,
Buy your own kitten – I will and I'll name him
Mikey.
I should stop drinking – you think?
I said what do kittens drink?
Milk.
I want one,
She said they're horrible,
I'm a kitten in disguise.
The warm cake smell of thunder bars my mortality,
I am Immortal!
For as long as I can remember,
I see brown misted pools winked exhausted
Breathless shattering the heavens about possibilities of beating God.
If I humped my physical gait to the highest light-surpassed
Mountain I would let the hard-nothing hard-summer
Half-light and unreal diamond my un-immortal mists of imagined life;
More real than the never-silent background, always like cranes.
Sunlight! As if someone is waking up,
And shade as if someone is tired
And this tarmac, crossroad black sky mixed light so
Frighteningly different,
Electric as my body –
Purple pink black – the sky changes,
And we are all in the sky, mourning the lost sexual
Angels, taking the world by the hand.

Cubism

Everything is a shape, cone lampshade, the cylindrical arteries Earth the sphere
The moon shines like a torch mesmerised by little dots of dust hairs and flakes
Falling and settled to soft bone, the subtleties by the North are everything by
Nothing – Suspiciously eyeing the paradise, Blowing away the wind –
Forever the insect, the whisper fleeting whisper almost hum almost exhale,
A mind explodes and sees EVERYTHING, like this head has eyes behind eyes,
A baby sitting between my ears, on the leaf-shaped brain, Do you feel a little bit sick?
The moon shines like a torch and water in a glass held over a lamp
Trying to pass away (Not really succeeding in that all we cry is Hallelujah!)
As a person I wasn't really worth looking at, but as I play it was,
It goes like this the fourth and fifth, A revelation a miracle, a violin made easy,
Brick laying on your mind forward motion and foggy Chinese bicycles,
Palm mapped the grandiose, the avaricious, the move in you until holy,
Everyday sent back the words: We are humans the most evil of species,
Or the female more deadly – The ripple in the waters; the water ripples when I drink,
HOW MANY ROADS, the nouveau never reaches itself, the poets studying
And studying, The hand writing and writing and occasionally waxing on and off,
A steady white/brown atmosphere landscape-still hums invisibly like insects,
Bleached clouds, white-washed the walls the wallpaper music, the nail-polish
Smell of paint smudged over the windowsill and the city behind the tourism –
If you're lucky your food will make you dream, Yeah, dream of girl I can't dream
Enough of, Remember she said You're a clown and laughed,
A place filled with Laughter (said with an American accent),
Mesmerised by clock ticking I wouldn't sacrifice my life for anyone else's life,
Ma bohéme the rested, the bare feet, I am a horse on acid,
Je sais d'ancien et de nouveau, Without caring much for my friends,
Without for loving for one, for daring to live, Give me your drink my friend,
I'll drink it for you as a favour, your window-framed eyes could adore either
Me or the world, trust me that I wouldn't spit in your face nor hide
From bodies bare the cramps, hot/cold turns hungry unable to breathe,
I love none and the sonnet is dead – Shelved and old chains
Wrapped in a girls singing voice, forever talking to me between the ears,
The baby who listens remembers like elephants,
Hiding from her sight body wants another,
Not trapped but relaxed – Or not relaxed but replaced?
And here I am before you, not so sensible now after schooling, A frightful acidic
Bare foot nostalgic man knows too much of death; forever talking
Too good to be true, Dragonfly-styled too fast to sit down, The room
Smells like half your life – Do you feel a little bit sick?
Hair is greasy feels a bit heavy, tongue tastes of spit and sour milk,
Mind explodes and settles in wind, rain never ends like dreams –
Dreams never end; Dog in the bath, stupid mutt,
A life squirming like amphibious creatures, the NHS plans cost of life is £30,000
The mise en scene Leibovitz photee, Beckett lying in bed,
Life is to rest until we die, the moon shines like a torch – white/grey wind blows,
All these shapes, exploded with the mind, taken away by the dragonfly.

Minimalist

Death is behind blind window
Heat rises
Unseen in shadow

All thoughts run to my armpit
Cupped by palm
Asleep.

The Stillness

The days say to go away
You say no things you are not here
With your songs,
There are no movements, no effort
No one gives a crap anymore
For your dreams and slow-like skyscraper presence

A slow woman like a whore,
Just like the day to give up on trying,

NO WORK has been done,

Not even my shoes are warm
The laces are loose rounded and fallen
Down hair in long striding walks
Around the old cities I despise
With no poems to read or write,

NO LAUNDRY has been done,

The walls are empty
Give me a glass and shrink

Ask Baudelaire what to think,
Of their roomy little hallway envy
Of gunshot-sounding thunder lovely headache
Of their closing windows tears in their eyes
From staring hard at the wind
Staring and staring at three in the morning past
Pornographic angels and lights in ceilings far off
In someone else's bedroom;

And I have nothing to do,
And I am down there a rough-edged no-sleep thinker,
Down there a clown without its make-up
A coffee cup imaginary

A boy with no shoes on

Who hasn't touched anyone
In a million years
Or slept
In a million years

Like some heavy-eyed turtle with too much weight on its shell

The Future

Another day
a great big X

It goes across
Great big future
Lead by lonely empty
Courtyard stomachs
Continual metallic whirr
Simply because again
The sun is setting without reason
Again.

Her mouth looked at me
Great big O
Staring un-wrong pagoda steps
For a long time,
LAARNNG laarnng TAHYM
Sounds almost wrong
(White sky pushes)

looking to future
like window reflection ...
(... until fall out window)
– toward earth.

Outcome

Tempting fate
To change the world
As all four walls speak
Uttering Who are you?

Everyone shouting
My ugly ones

Weeds kiss motes of dust
The sleek winds cry out for change
The changed socks are just lying down.

– We imagine places
Places turning different colours
And then difrent clrs etc.
& dfrnt ppl etc.
& dfrnt plces etc.

And smoking and lighting
Up and
Down
And allowing certain
Freedoms

And when fate comes back
Like cold walls

I'll go to bed,
And I still won't have it all
And I adore you for saying so,
And now you can settle in the darkness
And knock your knees together
My ugly ones.

Heat

Glass and playing fields in
Ancient civilisations
Glass civilisations a playing tree
With no ego, we go from one to the other


HEAT;
And so much heat
Heat

The hum gasp fan
Given off all kitchen drawl,
Small the evil sandwich rots to green dust,
Television viscious ripped out our guts –

Protruding hunger
Dry spit tongue numb flesh
Empty;
Easy slick soft sweat
Pulls matted the dead moustache,

Who is not married at this point?
It doesn't matter,
The whole of Europe high on heat,
Coca Cola cans, hot melted chocolate sticky bodily fluids
Ray Charles singing Hit the Road Jack,
No more hot road beedy eyes sticky glass fingers touching
So damn hot;
Warm wind music thru blinds;
Not Hit Married hot,

Fat heart,
Girl thin sinned world's soul
Means less;
Earth's crash means less;
Hunger means less.

Blue

Blue
Chained to things

Waking up late
Like bleu raincoats of blue jay

Blue striped jumper
On each torso
Streams of blue lines
Living writing
Working advice
Of spiritual impossible
Friend self-begotten
Slow voice stars the blue – the sad intellect
Smoke-blue,
Icy showers and bruises,
Blau and always
Blue
Cold
Feet walking forever

We can all join hands
And hate life as one
And be blue, biru
A blue cat will neel with you

The love for lonely blue
Blue cheese in cold fridges
Bored blue eyes in need of love
Blue of little sexy birds, with their blue chests
Blue of clean magazine water
Blue of dirty plastic slides in hazy summers
Of wonderful static and bright dust
That makes you sneeze like communist lovers.

The blue chained to things
It changes us all.
