Slips into the subconscious realm and trips a few fuses in slumber
Adapts and clears clutter and narrates and alters the story in kind

NeanderthalNEANDERTHAL
In times gone by, now recondite,

that wearing furs will warm the nights,
just why the rolling wheel excites,

slumber and wakefulness
I reach a subconscious of wonder
it seems that my house was built
too close to the ocean
foundations and perimeter walls
supported by reason and books
now washed away by the water

Black Fruits - In French -Fruits noirs
Sans qu’on y prenne garde,
Le ciel se tisse du grillage
Sombre des branches.
Elles s’étendent chaque année,
Et chaque année,
Grignotent un peu plus d’espace,
Au point de parfaire une voûte
Et d’arriver à se rejoindre,
En confisquant le...

The Secret of Total Gentleness and AggressionWhy people somewhere so kind and gentle

Why people in Saint-Petersburg ,

Giving You Coal FlowersWait for the shutters to be closed,
we will enter an enclosure
in complete silence,
like a deep cave
which I don't know the way.
My eyes will ignore all of the lights;
there will be no more words
just the presence...

Twas a lovely day in May.
A red-haired Grandmother, with her daughter and
grandchild strolled the soft, still grass.
Under a large pine tree, she unwrapped a beautiful pot of flowers.
In the center~ a flag waved softly...

The SnugThe taproom is a crush.
You slide between heaving shoulders,
squeeze between pockets
of overheated laughter
to a small room set aside,
a place closeted in smoky isolation.
Here the barmaid appears on the half hour or...

eclipsed broken pencils and crayons moulded together

SeethingThe still water of the northern swamp
shone like anthracite coal
lending a rainbow hue to the
mirrored reflections of maiden hair fern
and skunk cabbage.
Strangely grotesque maples
rooted wearily beneath in the hidden depths
of blue-blackness.

Hills of HomeThe heather caresses leather
As across these hills I tread
The boggy ground it squelches
Moving like a water bed
Don’t stop or soon the eyeholes
With bog water they will fill
Put pace in step and move on

From Earth's BowelsFrom Earth's bowels win coal and oil,
Foul fossil fuel from toil and spoil.
Primordial stone and devil's blood.
Crack coalface cobs and pump the crude.
Burn anthracite and distillate,
Vent foul fumes to dissipate.
Our carbon fuels creating hell.

Steam TrainHere comes the train, chugging its way,
time after time, each working day.
Squeal of the wheel, scraping the rail.
In worst weathers, blizzard and hail.
Serpentine twist, tortuous turns.
Hissing of steam, anthracite burns.
Onto the points, clickety clack,
over cross-hatch,...
