The Dilettante Diaries: Avian Notes on the Sensate Slip Stream : The Silent War in 3 Acts
(Part 2)
What beats in their hearts,
what have they seen?
Avians murmurating stories
on the Sensate Slip Stream
Invisible golden chords?
Pulled this way and then that
Strung on silk
or barbed-wire
Pearls in a Harbour
Hawaii 41 then f*** off 45
Silent Hiroshima
forgotten
broken church spires
Hokulani Oahu
Hawaiian Hibiscus Leis
floating on clear untouched
crystal ocean
Geisha Quiet Divas
Stoic Men in Top Hats
black cherry blossom
burnt bitter sweet
lackadaisical treats for
the calculus Monster’s
hibernating heart beat
haiku written
simple dulcet lines spun
on cotton candy clouds
blown like bubbles
from the soap pipes
of winsome War Hawks
whore-kissed by
platitudinous
big guns blowing
putrid seeds over
their wondering winds
deadly opium
smoked in war-room
no thought on the run
stand behind blinds
while moving plastic models
pretending nothing is better
than playing with
their big fat water-guns
smoking peace pipes
for synchronicity
of minds, they become
lost in the glory
the winning, the fun
cash burning petrol
territorial takes lives
Headlines in The Times?
Avian flies high
spirals pirouetting
blood pumping
pulls in memories
in another dimension
6000 reduced to 41
Dresden ‘33 - ‘45
Trains, gas, stacked as rats
stacked as 1
What Avian blood has seen
and transcribed through
the memories of birds
and the stories they fly
gas sucked through a pipe
showering over innocent
bald heads, naked as babies
the children with mothers and fathers
and innocent minds
lampshades of skin
fat into soap
nightmare is this scene
gas worse than a rope
“A world forgotten by now…”,
the Past cries,
“Never again to be seen!”
Borders are crossed
different colour
their skin
Big Blue Swallowing Vacuum
Burnt Sky
Put up a wall in between
The Past was just a bad dream
Roll Action Film
cut to new Scene
Magnetic hearts
Memories should never die
