'in circuit colours' - (Incunabula Media)

 

'A haunting organic and erotic series of pieces of writing showing maybe a new direction for McAloran's work. The underlying spirit is still well in the cthonic realms of Artaud and Masson but the direction is more obviously affirming.' DM Mitchell

from 'vault', (2010), reissued 2026, (Incunabula)

 


smear-

rat’s tooth
bone kiss

sea of marrow
sea of flesh

a blackened sky through
which the carnival rides

a bleached moon
salve of no purpose

a retort

scraped from the banquet
of the skull

in my dreaming I die
meat dissolving in frozen light

the blade bites deep
strikes vein

kiss of the skyline

words retract into flesh erased by
the depths of the void

bone tooth
sea of rats

kiss of marrow
sea of flesh

in my dreaming my death-stripped flesh
burning to ashes

a black vault opens
the eyes roll back

a taste of blood

a smear
of electric light


assassin-

the winds have
 absolved

the assassin
walls

breaking from the
corners of

the finality of the sky

churned flesh gutters like
a final flame

the teeth rip the skull to
shredded laughter

the meat of the impoverished
tongue wilts in the

after-birth
of desire’s quarry

the nothingness of listless stone
whispers

the breath expired escapes
like a whipped canine

the assassin walls shed frugal tears
the cracked skin of nothing ever

splits beneath the veils

wordless smiles devoured traced by the
skin of the dark

the cold weight etched

void of elixirate
of purity

the Shadow breathes in endlessly

burning grating flesh

at the edge of the abyss
the true laughter of denuded ice

words the eviscerations that
the silence feeds upon

as the silence

erases


grave-digger-

obliterated sun

a jugular bled

beneath the shadow
of night’s sky

a bulb of laugher
birthing

in the
delight of death

the breath is night also
a harlequin desire

in a gilded locked cage

the sequins of the winds drag
the entrails

from the blood-streaked dark

a collision of bone the charity laid to waste
in a labyrinth of laughter

the fingers trace the edge of the blade
skull of exhumed particles of rotting blood-

soaked sands
laid to rest in the death of X.

(X. reeks of filth in the silent amber of
The artificial light)

a shattered window of existence fades out
the embalming night endless peels from the earth...

a smear of the grave-digger
vibrating

in violent coloured smiles
draped shroud of atrophic wasted funereal tears.

"surface of silence. dead distance of in-tread. null of what till extent of breath of logger-held. known of in touch of echo trace. till renounce of colour too. till known what of in circling light. cleave of eye in an extend of word wind stretch. shadow-tone asks of in extend of dreamscape as of sun’s accord. " A palimpsest in words and images of the spectral dimensions of memory, desire and loss that overlays our everyday world.

'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
