I breathe and remember
words of Anna B Savage

and I erupt in fire
bring to bear my tongue of flame

Continue readingWhen you are exposed to the beams
and the wind of the universe
blows through you, you may still seem
to walk, but you are dust, and thus
the skeleton you are stands still
in the dark, surrounded by dirt
and the wind blows and the air falls
to rest in lungs and waters. Hurt
and defeated your body melts
and returns to first and last things
as tears that glow blue trail their salt.
The air itself was on fire, sin
of the knowledge of our kind. Hell
was not real, but we made it real
and now it clicks and clicks and all
would do well to fear it. I feel
a kind of horror, this grey light
that is born out of new dangers
which make old metaphors apt; tired,
blind, the will to power failed us
as Pandora lay in a ward
this blue chord burned into her eyes –
the small moth that had once meant more
that came last, was burned in the fire.
Accosted by a dark new mood
after a dream involving fire
towering above the georgian
terraces, and Bon Iver grown
cold and unfeeling, exploiting
my love of their music for cult
ritual aims. A horror dream.
I sit and feel real horror, as
the dull news legitimises
violence with a short sound bite
‘I’m just saying what everyone’s
thinking’ and that’s that. What the fuck.
I can’t defend such a robot
action (in the Czech sense) – playing
clip after clip of glob brained dullards
who believe solely in themselves
like a kind of solipsistic
brick, thrown through the window of my
mind. The clouds darken but the bright
and constant thereness of all things
is there like a bed for my brain.
Insects want platform for their buzz.
Insects can’t abide the changing
language. Insects click and stutter
