From 'attributes', 2011, (reissued 2025 Incunabula Media)

 

Play-

 

 

Day by day

 

Graves vibrate a little less

 

The children play upon fresh grass

 

 

===

 

 

Betrayal-

 

 

Some exist too much

 

There is too much death

 

In their silences

 

The mirror betrays their night

 

 

===

 

 

Act-

 

 

Meat slavery that I do not want

 

Bone immodesty I piss blindly into night

 

 

Something else will never be

 

I must act accordingly

 

 

===

 

 

Ending-

 

 

Haven

 

Dredge spit to look is to tear out the eyes

 

And that is before

 

The worst possible ending ensues

 

 

===

 

 

As If-

 

 

Anguish rarely changes it’s colourings

 

Against which joy pisses itself

 

As if it were freedom

 

 

===

 

 

Close-

 

 

The roving eye

 

Steel drawn in incommunicable light

 

A bell chimes in the skull like trinket

 

The curtains draw to a close

 

 

===

 

 

Nothing-

 

 

Never to have seen elsewhere

 

Or some other absence

 

The sky will suffice

 

Nothing should suffice

 

 

===

 

 

Rupture-

 

 

Sometimes the laughter

 

Spits flame ash and blood

 

And in that rupture

 

Anguish ever ready for our silence

 

 

===

 

 

Not-

 

 

Distant

 

Somewhere somewhere else

 

The seas break beneath the sky

 

And you are alone

 

Remember that you bleed breathe

 

No it is not enough
