Sample Text
A flowery
Discomfort
Analgesic
Dentures
We find the frequency
Pleasant elastics
Manufactured forwards
Elegant
Frightening
Moistened
Melanin balances slow
Minutes from a meeting
Examining character
Assassination
Or elevation
To retune this piano
Daintily magnify
Our magic tricks
Faint magnitude of
Eleven thousand
Lost postal items
Deleted
Clockwork Magpie Planetarium
I can sit
sold sacrosanct
making meals for myself
and the few orbiting
sent planes lifted
a seagull limping after
those natural moments
of anaesthetic
reclaimed food wrapper
how dumb is happy
with swollen feet
with carcinogenic lifestyle
choices
boiled down into
h or h
less the bus fare I feel free
craving tinted smiles
lent a lifetime of future proofing
blended for all the wrong reasons
a sentiment soldered
in a circuit board
sketched onto my closed palm
excused for fire forms
blanket tick boxes
appointed scrap heap
golden age of
un-established
zeppelin fire
the smell rolls right
across the street
where people walked before
they took their clothes off
leaning door ways of soft scent
inside a time of
devoting my unconscious
& craving a wild blood flow
bleeding from the tooth
tilted towards stature
soft as crows feet
swollen and unable to
open the door
dream panic
a litter decoration
on amnesia
were there a lone magpie
redemption service,
or so.
Specialists in Meat, Poultry and Game
Part I:
The sound of rain can be faked. This is tautology.
This is a velvet curtain faint. Tracing lips in windows in solitude.
Magic a mainstay in a deaf science, here a fragrance of tentativity, there a leaf.
We recreate the sound of that cry,
laminate pebbles and brick dust,
cross examine a mine field of critical questions.
The grass stains are not something I can explain, memory lapsed.
These records we identify by, so deja vu, so newspaper collection & delivery.
I'm not asking.
We don't amount to that much mass.
