could be any night
opening up your arms
maybe not to like
how they access you
evaluation medication
car keys on the lawn
forget your yellow peppers
sliced thick and raw
someone's cut them for
you overcame it all
going out any time you
please

journeys high
windows curtains
drifting nesting
busy pigeons
channel switching
bright red gunfire on the street
doors undone
you make a hundred
calculations in place of one
at times need to race

of a vision alike
my cheekbone
wants to feel another
who would love,
I'm only a profile
of me,
just once
a rose blush
it shall be enough

to be flawless
and in order
to find that little
love of self
one need
wrong
in so many words
but you come a long way
not noticing

a hundred times
the mind returns
to the scene of crime
remembering
nothing bar its gut
until becoming
permanent a
fixture that believes
it will never die
all this blue is sky
to be seen through

hot from the country
look for love find
the adulation game
guns cars and fried jelly
with white-hot pebbles they
consumed you half done

the point where we stop
beyond glass stands
on an outer edge,
our spectrum
no longer holds us by the sun
and what we wait for
through time's mist,
a giant wave

there is little in the air
to remind me of
actions pending
i know some cogs
turn elsewhere
like butterflies
i am a microcosm of design

were you outside in
the garden
searching early hours
abloom among the
roses thirsting
an ache
beneath the stars
in the chill of lost
neon-white and
magic

two silhouettes
tested times
harsh jazz and
corner stood
in early red
earthy storm clouds
whipping over
gone to feather beds
a curlicued street lamp
hung from the sky

It's all made up of something
even if someone says
you're wrong
everything belongs
there are parts to space
and each window has another
not knowing where it ends

did this come after
the beautiful fall
fanciful creations
from crisp leavings
and i,
maybe abandoned
forever here without
my love in a world
of whimsy, wistfulness

time exists within all that space
outside has no minute
background
for your convenience given
some context only
memory overwhelms
it's not there

i return with dusk
darkening an image
nights that prey alone
a need unwanted
perhaps to weep
a tenuous sense
of existence there
in its silence sounds

over a new horizon
heat beats down
mind rotating
old song
He never learns
speaking on repeat
the same two words
obsolete his notions
incomplete how
you see grey feathered
non blue dull moons
passive lakes He hates
He'll never learn
#SciFanSat

for touch from some other
through barrenness citrus
frigid blue seeking contact
she had travelled longer
than anyone could remember
finding only magentas heated
fires of flaming roga a lyrical
lily dead on the river bed

and when you free
its ties that old time
nestled uneasy
fruitless hawthorn
almost still
bare enough
blue sky patch
you hear the cuts
tearing as you rouse
while she sings her song
inside the bole

trying to put
your head in theirs
to where it belongs
bring you back snap the stick
fingers twiddling
while agitation burns
they are messing with minds
stones litter my pathways

ice mellows by its wall
lapping my lips like glass
run red swallows the floor
with slow emotion
do you ever get the words
i send beyond a grave
side picking white flowers
to the mill of night
#poem

to find oneself in the power
of gleaming eye
the gains or misfortune
routes by which you arrive
it looks like a question
not fully formed
memories lost to a darkened place
where talking through your mind
was easy somehow
connected
#inpoems
#poetry
#poem
So we eventually
arrive at that part
there is little
more to achieve
not much left for us to do
only a last
minor cut
and you can slough
everything off
still be
alive as a tree

wild bird sky
cold like the day
invention of new comforts
frontiers
perennial chatter
in a corner of an old room

i don't remember
where i was
a tiny frame a small
glow
muffled light
the sunless low
Jamaica Inn
perhaps a clutch
of pirates smuggle
animated world within
those many moons ago

i don't open
presents
when they come
but two years on
over my shoulders
warming me
now that i'm older
a big scarf
and cool cream for
my hands

he can see earliest morn
blood grasses pale and bright
and fallen in dewy fruit,
jelly plum trees,
skin's febrile eye of distant language,
caressing, peeling,
handling his flood
#inpoems

Out of dark exile we never reveal
our small voice finding its way
through dimensions unresolved
what is thought and why
in the solidity of now do i rumble over
two voices in the depths

barley wine smiled your face paid with

dreary morning would he make good

you say many a word
tell me what to sing
each before sure
in its own rightness
but how can I rely
on my vengeful face
love who loves us
wild unlearned beneath

on my forehead
you
the devising
of secret minds
living as if
maybe one day life
will mimic a dream and
fall into arms that
never held such
singular affections
your softening eyes
this is what love
feels like
#poem
#poetry
#micropoetry
it is fake
no understanding
has been that good
without a nonbinary
neural access
(i imagine owl eyes
flying corridors of my
innermost secrets)
a hoax from highest orders
(through the disloyal night
a freezing rain)

Day train night train homeless
unprotected hands this need
of beginning strings along to
a song gone the band cracks on

dusk chills
the bright wet
grasses growing
between the dead
a bitter night in the offing
tide taking back
what belongs
to empty green sea
that glints somewhere she rose

all right give or take
dying on a scooter
mimicking love
behind the window
to the pain in my stomach,
industrious ant
compelling

how long it has been
silent and yet
here we are
surviving just
fears for us beyond this
existential path
cutting our fuse to
protect you is all i have

there are times
you feel it
in the tender of your soul
an open window
that doesn't belong
dwindling hill-light
soaking winds
scudding through

hostility's a face
affronting existence
turn away but i dream
my island of mist
music risk affirms
a fragility in what
i do with aplomb

the sun drinks you dry
and I do not know
why or which
word is most important
how birth set me up to shrivel
in this gritty place for what
could I take from this
complacent earth
#inpoems

#poetry
blending into
nondescript
disintegrating
about your ears
growing wild
somewhere to live
each tiny wing
and all it takes
miraculously clear
undisturbed eyes
