The Village On the Water Iv
Thump-thump of stiffening fish contorting
In the bilge beneath the gunwale;
Lidless, bulging, reddened eyes, swivelling upwards,
Protruding horribly from the straining sockets,
Express stupefied amazement at inconceivable

Lidless Jar I Once Was
I got you on my mind
You got me hooked to you, you're sublime and I am no longer blind
By temporary infatuations that were not to be
By scary, horrifying nightmares of blasphemy
Be not afraid...
I'm...

The Age Of Man
The Age of Man
We carried on
The age of man
Till moon of tin bore
An electric sun
And all machines
Shone bright and clean
Keeping silent
But wanting more
Till the purpose mind
Did loose its time
In idle waves lament
Through prostitution...

Hail the King of Napoli
HAIL THE KING OF NAPOLI (1)
The Chronicles of the old king, Diego.
An epitaph of his statue reads: "When I go,
I go away from you then this badge
loses honour and beats dead with no urge"

Aphrodite
Aphrodite
Deep in a quiet enclave
In a secluded kingdom by the sea
Set in the twentieth century
Lived a wonderful child in a wonderful place
And her name was Aphrodite
Her eyes were silver grey
And quite fair, blond hair was...

I Used To Be
Can I allay man's acceptance
of poverty which was not a dire circumstance before?
On those past days of summer the stale from bread crumbs fell
onto the lidless eyes of each child, woman on the...

Florida City Park
Deep breathing walkers
stretch across the blue grass of early day.
The park is a Florida basin under river roots.
A native cracker jammed down in a no-name Ford
listens to a country station that’s mega-nasal,
tin-star shaped and boozy.
Alligators...

Moon Flowers
Luminescence in pond
reflecting couple in love
romancing in moonlight
exhilarated by mist
from chocolate fragrant
berlandiera daisies
caressing hearts.
Moon winks
walking away vagrant
cradling sun to sleep
in vain
its lidless fiery eye
radiating heat and light
to rotating earth
nearing its light

The Glass Eye
You stood there unsteadily
at my bedroom door,
holding your glass eye
in your palsied hand and asked me
if I’d ever seen one before.
Can’t say that I have, Aunt Mary.
You held it like an offering,
moonlit and lidless,
as if...

Writer's Block
Birthed in the womb of my thoughts
A bird of stone carvings, written secrets and envied flight
Heavy stone sinks through my head;
Chained hands, limited grasp, surge forward to catch you
Links snap taught and brush your elusive...

Grace
When I think of sky
it is a study of shapes,
radiance with motion;
a lidless stadium for
wings and blissful soaring...
the mental athlete I am
some nature of me giving
all artful snapshots flight,
no ceilings to my heavens,
and trapdoors...

Rocks and Skulls
It was like spidural
dry crumbs of silence descending,
a still born sun popped out
through a raw hoematoma :
mountain was guilty of something,
it changed its mood and started
talking to clouds until the sky
turned crimson. The fountains had

I Lay In Wait
As I lay dormant in the grass,
cold blood fuelling languid dreams
I wait in silence for you to pass
a harmless thing, or so I seem
I lay asleep, my lidless eyes
yet watching all that moves or may

On Rode the Valiant
Through the gates of Absalom,
steed and gate did ride,
charging fast and furious
o'er centuries gone by;
peace did shout in vain,
the Lidless Prophets...
must come again,
nigh is the evening sky
but full of hope
The ramparts held fast, ballast and...

Licking lidless membraned eyes,
Perfected coned vision.

Inside a Cubicle
We work inside a cubicle.
Our faces bathed in bluish glow
Like corpses at a funeral,
But if we're dead we don't yet know.
Instead we numbly press on keys
Within our lidless coffin row.
Complacency is our...
