You can make your bed of humus and offal. I'll gird the fortress walls with flickering diodes and carbon rumbles. Transient shields for ill-health.

Woke up with blisters
Strange news on Saturday morn
Beyonce is into S&M

Red in tooth and claw
A certain kind of comfort
In hours spent alone

Glorious timescape
Strange descent of woodpeckers
Old friends in dark halls

Tiled path surrounds
So do I look like a bat?
Task accomplished

Bullfrogs are like great
loves. 3 steps to the left and
they vanish from sight.

An alleycat a bumblebee a panther and a wasp. Fresh life from the backs of giants, set to paint the land with spots of bile. Another year another cold war all gussied up for nuclear winter's thaw. The parade of imagines, always a key out of step. Wonder when I'll finally retire.

Exactly a year ago I felt tiny but I felt strong. Funny how things change.

Well I'm always makin' a fool.

Raise a toast for the Bookbinder's of the world. They felt the heat and pushed for fire.

You shall not pass you canNOT know another tiger.

You can pierce your flesh- get buzzed get drunk get crunked get fucked up. Or you can tell everyone exactly what you think. Guess which of these is the safer option?
