'burnt oceanic' - samples - Incunabula Media 2025

 




=



turn white light of the beknown


in the meat of blood-let
carriage of


the bone residue


till carcass of the once an execution of echo’s tide
a breakage


a film of pageantry disclosed


the rip of circuit marrow of the caress is
the burn what feel


a dead/
a culture of wounds


to taste of what wind in the night-long excise


steel drawn in an incommunicable
extent


a barrage
a broken by if what/


long of to the turning of
to breach


=



of the ache of what once in astringent an extol
where blood is the
ache of death


birthed in the silence of never having been


a rip
a broken exposure tilt of fragrance


piss for blood & the
lightless


exposure eight fingers two thumbs
other than what of until


an unsung savagery
in the naught of extension


extinction in the raw riot of teeth exposed
a smear of breath


the burn
the epoch


of null pre-
destined to crack apart


=


falter lack in forage closure wound


a drift
a spectacle of light


turning in the extension
of shadowing


rupture nothing film across the eye


a dishevel
a breakage of frozen surface weight


as of in the unknown oceanic
burning an abort of


silence
never to have once of the being known


till spoken from


distance amber night
as recollect


=


traced without longing of the snap-wing tone
by the rich pageantry


of inversion


cold depth a density of extension
till tilt of lack


an abort
a senseless shard breakage beating the wholeness
of skin taunt


at the edge of redeem


nothing’s bones a worship a solace
to collect the detritus


& shape where once was syndicate
a workage


a stolen desire of the extension of silence
ripping the absence


colours set free
to bite


=


silence of the once that never if
till close of light &
oceanic burn


sliver desire weight close of nothing’s amber fade


the brittle haven of ever
nothing of in the abort of speech reclamation
given to shadow


all world windows close fingers around the dreamt skyline


all of in the density of
the meat &
the worthless vision in sharded semblance


knowing of the once before


as of till nothing’s
escapade eye till final


ripping apart the
meat of mind

'at the edge of pulse', available from Incunabula Media

 


Now available from Incunabula Media:
'A liturgy of absence, a paean to desolation. Shorn of sentiment and vain aspirations, it's as if the words on the page are a testament to vanished humanity, left behind when everything else has eroded and gone...'
"in stray exile of presence child's a-blind in silhouette discern what speech(less) burns in bait of fragment's resolve/ detracts unto edge in desolate brim of shiv till buckled bone arrestation of blood spray upon wild skins once known of null of butcher here or there ever after of in collision breath(e) eclipse of once was severed nothing of the known till once unto a shatter of all pulse resolve"

A selection from 'of dead silences', reissued 2022 by Oneiros Books

 


Of The-


Head of death
 
The seasons dissipate as if they
Had never collected tears
 
A dissolving sky
Soil sieved through fingers
 
The silent laughter of the blood


 Nothing More-


Ruins of the foreign sky
From which point all are dead
 
Smears of dying animals upon clear glass
The flies will gather, nothing more


Ignites-


A blindfold of congealed earth
The dead drown of inverted tears
 
Lacking the light
By which the night ignites the living


Upon-


Brute flesh shocks the nothing back
Into resolve
 
And is then pissed upon


Silences-

Heart of desolate
In a vice of flesh
 
Nowhere else/ nowhere/ nothing less
The winds erased having tasted ashes
 
Echoes of non-being
Inexplicable silences

Champion-


Dark hollow
The sky unearthed

One final breath to champion the infinite

Ever-


Haven to begin from
Scarlet striking out striking the dirt
 
With liquid hands
As if it could have ever begun otherwise


II


#9-


Echo within echo within shadow of…
Absence/ walls/ flames/ still breath alone
 
Pantheon of carousel/ of vertigo/ of absences
 
Night’s undoing was never night
Hence the laughter forever ceases to be
 
 
#14-


Danse of polka winds…night undone/
Night flourishing…
 
Silent retrace of bone/ vapours/ memories
 
Immense sky of non-death/ nothing lessened
Razor absences/ peeling away the bloodlessness
 
 
#15-


Hollowed tongue…winds dealt/ silenced
Dread lest the fingers break/ (only the elapsed)
 
Sing elixir of non-speech/ mouth full of dry sands
Leaving behind the drapery of skinned tide
 
 
#18-

Adrift…a visage of mists…(dead unto breath)/ arbitrary
Vault of wasps/ colours/ discoloured skin/ emptily
 
Night of vague breathing/ unheard voices/ voices heard
 
Stillness of forgotten sky/ there or here again/ cast aside
Buried sun/ sky/ sun of ashen waste/ teeth of nothingness
 
 
#19-


Waste ground/ flies of haste/ silver voices/ decay
Black tongue of…wasted wounds of…soundless again
 
Arise dead/ so much the/ dread/ silenced/ birthed
Evaporating tongue of/ erased/ better never/ never to have been

3 poems/ 2014

 



22…


…infarctus decibel of lung-snag between skull and membrane

…lightless unlock/ shadow of the un-face

…not a sound

…deathed all to the prism pillage

…ice-black/ silence of an evacuated room +1

…disease writhe spinal spasm ejaculate of teeth words careening over the edge into some oceanic vault

…the landscape of the body falls away

…time’s vitreous chamber bites with all the regality of the none

…all for

…as if to

…empty echo/ echo/ echoing fading unto ever-clear

…distillation of soundless space/ still yet the thrum of pulse in the skull in the vibrant loins

…bites the limbs what shadows

…in a regalia of buthery/ of a meat hook glint the banality of hope ever-resurgent/ autopsy/ eviscerated light

…(bites because it cannot/ helm/ sudden to the reduction to ash)

…in the black light/ the pulse is disheveled

…nocturne’s exposed glands and expulsion of synergetic waste throughout the coil of mortal spine

…(eats because it…)

…not a trace

…expired hands driven unto foreign by the sun’s stale light

…chasm shock of blood/ …

…silence re-gathered in the parched throat

…“A prayer is in order, your Lord, your Worship”

…'I love you like we shit...'*




                                                 *(Georges Bataille)

'The smell in here, hangs like a killer, hangs like a dead man, and I can’t take another day...'

(--David Yow (The Jesus Lizard-SDBJ))

…fresh meat of the unsung black light/ birth-ed suffocate/ exile

…stench room of obliterate/ of discarded syringes burning in a lapsing flame

…the broke bone bodies of the mind

…alcoholically spitting out the teeth from a wired jaw/ its seals unbroken laughter of the shadowless breathe

…asks yet/ distill/ hangs yes/ another day ‘I’ cannot

…fevered the collapse of entity into grave filled with children’s teeth and rusty scalpels/ (as if to…)/ exhales

…the smell of you/ recollect/ a/ dead/ and the brutal flesh

…evidently hung for far too of the obsolete/ the wilting blood/ dense/ echo

…vibratory

…hangs like a killer unknown…(sick…drunk…blow…job)

…a sinew’s noose/ contracted the pupil grazes upon/ roving of the eye unsleeping in vacant lots of bound bones and acrid sentiment

…it hangs in here/ whispers emanate/ copulating shadows sprayed upon bare white walls/ repeat/ repeat again

…laughterling of pulse/ ocular the surrogate smear

…blood tastes like any other

…the silence weighs/ hangs/ garroted tide of exist/ a swollen tongue in throat a kiss of some obscene pageantry

…‘And I can’t take another day…’

…they sway like the memory of nothing come to pass/ never engrained/ ever the return to

…of the suicide of the/ the fashioning of stone meat

…regressive fingers rub ink in wounds to mark the non-existent trilogy of static grace in the haven of

…blind white asp of sanguine deformation

…echoes canyons/ ablaze the forests of desire’s breathing of the ilk sweat of the brow the taste of

…X. +1

…zero approximation

…null/ void/ in an excess of none

…gutted as of some prostitute be it male or female/ cast off/ the weight of sex devoured

…bankrupt tide

…meat from which

…’I smoke it down to the filter, and put it out on your hand.’*

…fist in/ orifice of/ there is electric there is blind light and the black pitch of it enshrouding

…(first glance says obsolete)

…spinal excavations in the drunk fuck night of nothing less or more than given haste of the breath lapse what depth stained white sheets

…all spun together with the glue of god

…(lapse)

…impress of lime upon the wound raw white blood of the occult silence between one distance and another

…(as if to say)

…walls and the penetrative shadows

…the death of

…there is absence/ there is hell

Now available...

 


A new book by me now available from Erratum Press

…bone bite snare is a post-Beckettian series of fragmented yet interactive experimental prose poetic texts. It stammers, glides & bludgeons its processes through landscapes & visions lacking either redemption or hope. A hallucinatory cavalcade where linguistics are warped & erased in frenzied, vibration tones of lacerated subject & abject, textual bodily eviscerations & evacuations. This is endworld writing feeding at the jugular to the point of abort, decimating lights, cold cut, breakage bone, snare feed bitten thrice shyer than what hold of dust clogged veins a pissoir, a vantage point erase…

///

"In bone bite snare, the jagged necrotextures of poetics are not only anatomically exposed but let of fluids through a cosmically conscientious mechanism not dissimilar to Pollock's 'drip technique'. This raw performance of a past and predetermined doom is here recorded and thus made infinite in its recurrence."

-- Elytron Frass

“this,is neonoir,a new kind of nihilism,where even the language,even if highly poetic,cannot be attested to certainty or absolutism or essentiality. everything is loose now,shifted loose by geodesic and societal schisms and shiftings. it really is the endworld,now with the appropriate acuitry sketched in a language befitted to mimic thefragments,the inconclusiveness,the w/hole.”

-- Aad de Gids

"In his texts Michael Mc Aloran curates [the impossibility of representationalism anymore], the last esthetic mirrorings of these wastelands through which we wade, in bleak necessity, in machinationmechanistical catatony, our arts following sinister paths to follow the porncinema our world has become. The paradox is, and it also isn't a paradox anymore, that Mc Aloran conceives this inexplicable, indiscernable cryptolinguistic curating [holidayjob] documenting in exactitude that it is no longer possible to follow these worlds of the world like we sit on top of it but we're deeply indebted to as well as prey to its capriciocity and haunting presentism. The world over us that is, and Mc Aloran bears witness to exactly this precarious position, point, to which all end-arts and anti-estheticisms must dwell, finally, in unironic splendour of a glitzing decay."
