5 poems 2014/ image 2022


strikes ash

meld of

given unto ever lack known of which

eye strikes

singed

the tongue singed

the teeth of it

blackened

bone flux of null beneath subtle breathe

words

as if to parry

lost to the

play of light half-bitten

see-saw

echoes ever

marrow never


--


zone what

once what

traces

ever the…

eye says not of which

oceanic

no not oceanic

barely a

no not a word it

cannot no it

the tongue’s castration

ember eye

cascading as of tomb

in given none

it says

barely recognisable

zero point

zone what else


--


obscenely the masquerade

bites down

dense what

accord of

echoes breathless terse

distances

no distance no

the stationary voice

no

decaying

so says the echoing

a precision bite

insular as

incisor

flayed no it yet will


--


blank light reverberate

sight or else

else there

what there or

revoked

pisses freely in the wind

dense heart what heart to ask of

what I or purpose

or the vitreous sheen of little else

submerged

in shit

bailing out for

the blood

of the one/ none

in the death of

air

wordless as before

asking

without capacity


--


having been

as if to say it were

as if

proclamation of what

once if

dead stop/ cease with it

colliding with the

sudden if

the vibration of

answering

not answering

all the while the turning to the flex

the jarring

in damage light

bloodless

no none of that

the voice’s reclamation of teeth

skinned we

night no dark in it
