Long Fizzing Poems

Stood I there, that last day,
On an iron bridge...
An aqueduct by design,
Where, looking dreamily out over
The Ernes Lower Lough,
My compressed shadow 
Momentarily paused -
To contently recline:

And casting long its shadow, as the night gives way to day
This femur from an ancient beast that walked here long before
Perhaps an isolated find… most likely...

as the helicopter sided, meeting the concrete
in a road ripping, heart stopping flame.
A distant...

The Girl Who Cried “Death”

The most special woman
To ever walk this world, 
Well, she’s died quite young, 
This, I am told. 

For the ash in her breath
Echos screams, melts her death. 
And her lover screams...

I

I am disinfected, sanitised from touch and eyes
Do not hold me. I am Bakelite and you smolder
Sat solid, the wall cold against my spine. A back-rest

fizzing out of my charming muse's smile.
A bubbly butterfly that she is,

They were blinded by flashes, purple and green
A psychedelic flare shot up through the roof
Then crashed back down with a loud, smoky POOF!

As I age 
I hope to become increasingly difficult 

to extract from flow of Presence
apprehending EarthMother focus 
through holistic reflections
within Now

Without targeting Others 
over There
lacking CoPresence.

I hope ego-awareness shrinks 
within aging

It’s tortures fizzing within the human it bound

The Ruba’iyat of Créteil Lake – Part Twenty

Shrouding the pallid angular slabs of the Faithfuls outlet:
