PILOTS :::
We have become / Palm Pilots //
Vanquishing ourselves / through thumbs //
To greet our / sweet destiny //
Pass me your finger-tips //
To trace / a face / that could never /
sheen like a screen ///
& wouldn’t want to /
*All is Illuminated by itself
O
All is Illuminated by Itself
O
All is Illuminated by itself

Touch Touch / Touch Touch
Touch Touch - Health
Rhododendron garden ///
We have stolen /
With our fingers / entwined /
& our soul’s / emboldened /
We greet / each other //
On our journey’s
& watch //
As they match / & clash /
In patterns / of paint-patterned calm //
Oh your eyes / disarm //
Your eyes / disarm //
Your eyes // disarm //
This has got / its hooks / in me
& so I rest / because it’s true ////
No one / likes / being / hooked / alone
Oh / the hook’s / not / cold / when you’re / hooked too
Astride myself /
I striding see //
& striving / this much / makes it stark ////
That in our showing /
We do tell //
Of how to / snub / the flame / of a heart /
With a shout / too loud for help
All this / pushing forth to share ////
All this / screaming to be heard ////
When all the handshakes //
All the hugs //
Exist / between the words /
Haven’t you heard?
Haven’t you heard?

BOW NOW WOW :::
It feels like /
Unknitting // My Problems //
My Whole Light Of Beams ///
Joyed solace / begot Solstice /
Now My Days / Are / Dreams ///
Cut veil // with time-laugh-knife
See/Sea How The I/Eye It Teams ///
Spiral up through death by fire
Now Sit / Class / At / Streams ///
*& somehow /
Oooooohhh
Shakes The Stagnant // Cleanses Lungs
& just now /
Ooooooohh
Sharpens Teeth / & Wets My Tongue
Ribs howl /// Oooooooohhh
Feet Wake Up / Re-plant Down
Ooooooohhh Bow / Now / Wow
Ooooooohhh Bow Now Wow
She / He / They / It
Is an epic / cosmic / dominatrix
They break you down / to build you up ///
They say / “Unpick This” ////
& you blush / & say “Yes, anything for you” //
But it’s all just an internal kink game /
with an aspect of your higher self ////
& even when it’s hard ///
So hard ///
& you weep / at all of it //
It is still /
Truly ///
A bit fit
You /// can relax here ////
Up & Through ///
To who / you really are //
Gold / Upon Gold / Upon Gold /
Upon Gold / Is Golden Still ////
Someone should water these plants /
Someone should water these plants //
Someone should water these plants ///
We Will ////

YLYWYF (You Love You Want You Fall) :::
Saw a flatbed / lorry // that said “Recovery” ////
So I jumped up on / & lay / me / down ///
So I take / me to / a place // in myself ////
Where I’m resting // as though / resting // was / all / else
There are things / I cannot say / right now
But even / if I did ////
Would I be buying / into / a mindset
Or / telling like it is ////
*Fuck / ownership //
But I want this / on my wall ////
How art / creates conflict ////
You Love // You Want // You Fall ///
The River Of Flow ///
Is serrated in The Deep End //
So if you’re not / Truly Afloat ////
& cling / to Past / Fret ///
You are struck ////
To scratch a record ////
of regret ////
not dropped just yet //
Your arms / will be cut / to ribbons //
by / the finish lines you rush ////
Skinny dipping // is / a / prison ///
if you / haven’t // learnt to trust /
If there’s not a mark on ya
who’s to say / it’s not / a dream
I’ve been searching / out / the bruises
& I’m far too squeaky clean ////
Assumption / Is The Death // Of Safety ///
Be Clear / What You Are To Me ///
Be Clear / What You Are To Me
I Can Feel / Your Light So / Sweetly ////
I Can // & Cannot / See ////
Assumption / Is The Death // Of Safety /////
Be Clear / What You Are To Me ///
*
Fuck / ownership //
But I want you / on my wall ////
How art / creates conflict //
You Love // You Want // You Fall ////

If you plan on coming home /
Find me ///
I’ll be looking for you /
In everyone else //.
Open the mind /
Through the skull //
It’s only a flesh wound ///
The bone swooned /
& opened of its own accord //
//. Accord Accord Accord //.

Thwarted By Incident //
I make the world /
The world makes me /
Unfurling fabulous designer //
The edge has been cut so sharp it sees ///
The crimes we have committed /
Picking / Picking /
Always pulling / grabbing / choosing //.
Convincing ourselves /
There is a clear path //
Just Beneath
Just After
This last dance with torment /.
This next dance with torment //.
This last dance with torment ///.

Community Lives :::
I left my / door / unlocked / for a / strong minute
& now it feels like community lives
My neighbour left / plants for free / on the pavement
& now it feels like community lives
Oh my / sister gave me / a plastic dinosaur
& now it feels like community lives
I’ve stopped / telling myself / I’m incapable
& now it feels like community lives
*We / screamed / through / stage //
& / kind / of / agreed
That we’ll break / down / walls / until // everyone’s free ////
Felt like shit / but smiled at a stranger
& now it feels like community lives
I’ve stopped / just / seeing the danger
& now it feels like community lives
Had a proper coffee / instead of instant
& now it feels like community lives
We topple / status // to mark our ascent
& now it feels like community lives
*
You / squeezed my shoulder // when my fingers / said tension //
& now it feels like community lives
I’ve / got a love / too hot / to mention
& now it feels like community lives
We’ve / hated each other / so we meet like strangers
& now it feels like community lives
Babe / listen to the forest // to quiet the papers //
& now it feels like community lives
*
& now it feels like community lives

HORSE :::
My body is horse & you don’t even know ////
My body is a car outside the window ////
You don’t know my body / ‘till I tell you so
My body is a horse & you don’t even know ////
*Oh my body is a magic mystical tool
I love my body cos it lets me move
My body is flesh moving through the flames ////
My body is a vessel moving all around space ///
My body is a shell / My body is a liar
My body isn’t me / I am higher ////

From the mirrors // we’re shown //
Pick up bag /
Mood shoes //

To let it all go
& hold close /
to the gift //
of changing forms ////
Seasonal souls / touch roots //
To grow
