Long Eno Poems

“The Splice of Life”



When colour 
was to be 
washed out
of the world 

the evil ones 
didn’t care

the Actor led 
with his 
Dementors 
either side of him

Laundry, 

they resolved 
to be the best 
pristine method

The gleam from the fire made my eyes squint
and gave me a sub version of her face.

With a violent voice echoed by saturated bleeding sunlight

surrendering 
the clear point of morning

of cockatoos, galahs and magpies

"Nyx Twixt"




Blown

A long kiss,
he’s so Marshmallow
pretending to be

“Fan Dance”



golden winged creature
formed from flames
phoenix uncaged 
burning up 
the pusillanimous past
fans, the screaming jets

the dancing serpents

Lion constellation 
moving into 
celestial Pegasus
