micro emotional aberrations
about how i realised
fighting my mind
takes up too much time
better to let it all go by
desirelessness and now
better to let it all go by
microtic aberrations
do not deny them with eyes
lies i say said he with his
eyes and fore all he tries
missed his pager going off
the rails are ruined
its floating for us
suck
it
up
big hits
What did i fill the gap you left with
(jammed it full of crust)
Where did i go to see your shadow
(I closed my eyes at night)
How did i learn to breathe again
(i didn’t, i may have died already)
Then who is it who’s talking now
(a gestalt, so don’t you worry)
I got a hangover, woooOooooOoooh.

i
if you believe
and i believe
that makes two of us
and that makes it true
me and you
thats a big clue
you mean to say i’m with you
if thats the truth then wheres the proof
in two believers
a team of two
two beliefs that match up
make a truth with ample tooth
one thing you wont find here
a cache of 22 clauses
give no pauses
about what to do
when you hear truth
there must be causes
if two beliefs make one whole truth
the truth that we make’s no good aloof
ill sit here and you stay there
we make a circle anywhere
by going round and round each other
orbiting the space we covet
as little as it is
i love it
make a mash or make a mush
push a little kush or pop a top chop
cos the cusp is crisp and crimped
fragile frills to catch the spills
of one plus one, equals 2
but me and you are a kind of blue
the truth we found is only true
if i sit and you stay too
if you and me make up two
we become a single point of view
ii
and single file found a thorn
sharper than an electric form
charging through a razor wire
touch a leg and catching fire
mess with me you wont burn
but mess with us and you will learn
two is one only in belief
ask us first to find some relief
or when together the fist is clenched
the held hands wield melded clams
strength of ancestral sweat and whams
the clans blood feels blue ties but shines and rams
bam bam bam and then it clicked
the two of us are meant to prick
flicked a nick and caught a stick
tick tick tock clock locks stocks and picks (or pocks)
so two is one but only when true
so you me/me you we what few
ah-choo choo excuse me bids adieu
sigh oh boy oh girl say phew
careless caressing of the point
major meltdown harmony anoint
my fears are there if you care
like clicking joints they dare not be fair
tears bare awareness of leers
i cannot find a foothold here
you said it too do not forget
you me/me you in luck i mean (less regret)
iii
a bets a bet you said i heard
nightmares friends a dreamers curd
lurid drooling lurching fools
bobble and bounce flounce the stools
heavy got lighter in the moment
frame freeze flash better go foment
concomitant poster up beddy byes
lies lies eyes seen in actual size
the capital T in truth marks an end
how you and me came together to mend
stitch one with two to make it whole
a bowl of needles and string to roll
keep trying to find the golden egg
but miss it while looking at our leg
legs legged it lark lark lofty light
limited here by lions in flight
don’t worry you will find the answer
just call louder faster and on repeat
repurposed and bummed a chance
err’d the lance bummer then on your feet
meekly battled on into the night
mesmerised by external delight
summarily surmised submissions of sight
take all my effort not to legitimise my plight
happy to have made it this far on my own
but now i need help to remember the first stone
how do you start something again?
you told me just believe then showed me young pain
i feel it said the first tearing motion
sick so sick this hot love potion
green green aquamarine of the ocean
crying louder than seagulls profane devotion
the debut a fancy way to begin
lint in the belly dint dint in a min
coupled with fire lightning and brim
fuller than my ego on a roll on a whim
i bring it back to the details within
finally an end to this dawdling pin
if i believe and you believe
then wonder kin so stick it in.
the stars above me are the same ones above you / then try to play it cool but i still love you

of the tongue
the tongue is a slippery member
In so far as it is want to slip
A slither of dexterous deliberation
flicking faintly against the roof
Biding its time, held in a toothed chamber
Extending up and out from the depths of
degustation
The tongue wets its lips when
preparing
and writhes when gnawed
More mind than muscle
but not too unruly, as to not know
its place
slick-sided it lays in wait
its underbelly a painted viscera
The tongue sticks and wanders
licks the breathe
held by teeth
in braced determination
and if the tongue wants to stretch
it pokes the air and retracts
it pumps its salival lubricant
and strains it clean.
Banks’ Horned Peninsula
fuzzy frowned at the mess inside
like all really obvious corners
this one still managed to snag a few toes
In order to clear house
listen to the inner voice
inner choice
listen to the grainy feedback
squeel
fairly regular valley talk
about how sick and rad and words up
guess ill try a different phase
less solid, more gas
damn i think i broke my head last week
instead of peaks now stand down
in the rifts and crashes
crevasses cork pop and twist
talking to my ice cold heart
brother, sister, the rest who are
lovers
quickly for some reason they said
get up, get out of bed
you have to get!
im down here
i’ve been down here before
im stuck
i can crawl out tomorrow
two roofs
and two tunes
an infant go-between, listening to the love
dropping off if not packing up
ready to go as a state of rest
later an adolescent finds small freedoms
choosing where the body abodes
relishing the networking opportunities
unexpected additions to the family
appendages, like numb toes
slowly the feelings come back
Apparently adult, now it’s more about smiles
and travelling the miles to get them
good thing they’re too old to move too far away
the distance and detachment, limited connectivity
i forget the context to our likeability
catch up quick or loose big.
i still seek shelter now within three houses
three zones, but they’re only the heartbreakers
many more houses are temporary though
because i never had just one
instead comfortable in just my skin
not the space place im living in
now im grown, living in big love
well ill build my own and call it home
things you learn shape your journey
