Treading home
School now my work,
Jocular no more
Jocular no more
And if only I thought like this then
Make someone think I'm right.
Make a teacher maybe
Again I long for their ear
Draw parochially near.
In the same corridors. Still lime green and tights
Still gummed up desks
I am just embryo, glowing and foetal
A somehow indecipherable life
primed boyish, brimming
and precious
Turning slowly, rotating, muffled
Of little consequence
I am stretching for validation
So wanting to put distance between the old
To carve more new
I make it so in my mind
Flesh and circumstance limp in line, behind
Accusing stand the looming dammed
My very own Shelley
Burns bright on the vast beach of my imagination
Wolf and owl and tree and more
In the same corridors. Still lime green and tights
Still gummed up desks
I am just embryo, glowing and foetal
A somehow indecipherable life
primed boyish, brimming
and precious
Turning slowly, rotating, muffled
Of little consequence
I am stretching for validation
So wanting to put distance between the old
To carve more new
I make it so in my mind
Flesh and circumstance limp in line, behind
Accusing stand the looming dammed
My very own Shelley
Burns bright on the vast beach of my imagination
Wolf and owl and tree and more
Gone now
Fuck he was holy
And more elemental than even the romantics
Fuck he was holy
And more elemental than even the romantics
A skeleton in the chalk
I flounder in seas turned hard
Desperate in excavation
Digging everything up
Tentative on every boundary
Terminus threatens futility
There is lots to know
There is lots to be
Oh, let me last
Invisibly
Less of me, invincibly
Charting a spiral wind
Permanent in crisis, a hymn to reality
strained vision traces the silhouette of a solitary tree
The bigness in me is too there, so more, so very more,
Oh, let me last
Invisibly
Less of me, invincibly
Charting a spiral wind
Permanent in crisis, a hymn to reality
strained vision traces the silhouette of a solitary tree
The bigness in me is too there, so more, so very more,
Expletives shagged bare lay coiled amongst an amplified intensifier
This swelling largeness too much,
too temporal, too burgeoning,
too groan and call and howl and wish, too fickle too illusive
This swelling largeness too much,
too temporal, too burgeoning,
too groan and call and howl and wish, too fickle too illusive
Too Water
Drop a notch in a windy mind
Crash and boom
Toss air in tree, like the ocean
Tight jaw
loose for a moment
As demanding as a fire
Quench not
Satiate sorrow, fly
Some where else
Someone when
illusion and lie
Won't satisfy
Drop a notch in a windy mind
Crash and boom
Toss air in tree, like the ocean
Tight jaw
loose for a moment
As demanding as a fire
Quench not
Satiate sorrow, fly
Some where else
Someone when
illusion and lie
Won't satisfy
Treading home to not my
house
I don't generate. I think swell up
I sway and loaf, aloof
I pontificate
And earn little money
Sage to the grace of others
Sorely
Truly
I beg to hide or trick
Giddy in freedom my script
Laden with exception
Heart squirming, pulse heading all of me . Colour squeeze. Pressure reign and fidget non ending
Yearning blueish fervour
Tone and. Blue
Colour
Permeate, ignite me
Won't you
Permanently unite me
I don't generate. I think swell up
I sway and loaf, aloof
I pontificate
And earn little money
Sage to the grace of others
Sorely
Truly
I beg to hide or trick
Giddy in freedom my script
Laden with exception
Heart squirming, pulse heading all of me . Colour squeeze. Pressure reign and fidget non ending
Yearning blueish fervour
Tone and. Blue
Colour
Permeate, ignite me
Won't you
Permanently unite me
