too

 too


words from minds

by lips bestow

one mind to another mind 

let it be known 

that other lips repeat it too

and then 

you are a minded to listen too

for each of them is listening to you 

without the shadow of a doubt

 without the shadow of a doubt 


the sun just ate the shadow of the wall

which ate the shadows of the tree dangling on the wall

where the lantern was eaten by the dawn

and a lone star in the tree left abruptly 

a child concentrates on painting

 a child concentrates on painting

sometimes
in an instant 
the future stretches out
in new ways in new colours
who was is will be
here before you
in an instant
you know how they know
that an instant is everything
through a tear
a kaleidoscope spins
that resistance to hug perfection
just in case

fuck king and cuntry

 fuck king and cuntry


dear subjects

as a reward for all your stupidity

i hereby award you a king

wear it out with pride

for it is wearing out

it is wearing thin

the skin of our forbearance 


from the ashes of our country

a phoenix refuses to be born

while a peacock rules 

the waves

goodbye

rough sea in the harbour at tenby

 rough sea in the harbour at tenby 


and it asks again

and again we say no

no!

stay where you are

look at the lights

call to the roosting gulls

sooth sooth your restless mind

oh tide my love you are so contrary

harbour in my harbour arms

are not your thoughts unnecessarily 

rough tongued tonight again

sush now sush

on reading "Growing Up Polack" by John Guzlowski

 on reading "Growing Up Polack" by John Guzlowski


hardened by annealing in

the quenching of the heat of anger

all the weight of an anvil

is but a feather on the wind of freedom

the transfer in complete

now you are in two minds

at once you have second sight

look you say in reflection 

you are all a mirror

of mine infinitum
