the great contrast between everything and nothing:
lamppost lights reflect rushing streams
like mountains made of concrete
where the grass is wet and green
and mushroom fields replace the wheat
monster house:
knock and your own voice will echo
i drew a kind face on the front door
an untitled work under art deco tiles
enter but do not tell what you found
i float to the feeling
where melodies repeat and morph
above the fumes, on the ceiling
beneath the tiles we unearthed
dirty fingernails and nothing else
I'm last to know that Ive been stealing
rhymes from shadows I observe
I'm real when I thirst for
the bodies of dead poets
under stained oak floorboards
ouch! :
on my way, I cracked my jaw on the curb
to see if it would hurt
I like to play, to feel my heart reverb
But not to disturb the birds
I want them to feel okay,
to enjoy their wee day
:
believe we can be who we want to be
understand the silence
over the crunch of the leaves
I'm not sure where you'll find us
between you and me,
foggy English countrysides
breed a feeling I see
so easily, so clearly.
Today, I went fishing in the North Sea
Cold visions in bones, I only hunt alone
To return them, I enter the salty foam
I adapt, I'm leather, my hair is wet only
God knows if down here, I'll be alone
If rocks bruise my head, tell me, what could unfold
Go lie down, I'll take it, let crashes rehome me
and carve symbols about the stories untold
in the dark, no responses
i have conversations
with moths and monsters
and all of god's creations
who take my shorts
through thread I'm eaten
but tired i'm not
they relinquish my blood
it doesn't hurt
metal tastes like luck
smell sweet, attract bugs
a piece of meat with sharp lungs
a hole has been dug
i fall so easy
colonies of bugs
drink blood so needy
moths, light, blind luck
through clothes they wont hear me
///////////////////////////
rolling on gothic appetites
sweet juiced labour
a soft stone embrace
artery walls shimmer
bone hands, a sacrifice
no play or sticky fingers
eyes feel no light
warm bodies must linger

Rough translation:
The days in the dew Your months in the deadly heat Do you remember the nights There was a real white moon And a sky as dark as a sky can be Even when I was tumbling through a cave I could feel your wisdom in front of me Maybe I heard your voice Or a stone kicking a rock It wouldnt make any difference to me
