this will be
a piece of cake
i guarantee


some eggs
in your face,
lots of buttering-up

i will be
sugar-sweet;
jam compliments


into every
other sentence.
add spice


to your life?
as it heats up
in the oven


i realise i've
forgotten if
i put in a leavening agent

"God help me now", he murmured in his sleep;
The roiling sheets, they swelled and crested high
As livid shades within the mirror's scry
And smoky lines upon his skin to creep;
The pattered rain, the ghost of morning's night,
The darkness fidgets, tremors in its heart
Which echo rustlings of the nether art
That brought to knees the Highest Lord of sight.
Unwilling to behold, enwrapped in haze,
The time forgot, the passing just as fleet-
Equations, vectors, furrows on his brow,
He dreamt of sun unbridled in its blaze,
He traced infinites on the careless sheets
And murmured in his sleep, "God help me now".

You told me once
you would hand me your heart,
lay it on a platter-
(for daws to peck at) but
all you gave me was a
silvered shape of stone-cold
steel.


You eyed me curiously
as I cupped that metal mass;
wincing as each beat
(surreptitiously systolic)
bit into my skin,
fettering your heart
with ribbons


of blood.
you lifted my hand
and pressed it to my chest,
(red-ribbed, battering mess
of lived lies
and dying promises);
it tears through flesh
and leaves me staring
at where my heart
once was-


But for all my
pouring passions,
hue incarnadine,
your heartless heart is
insensate,
no more flesh than
mine.


You smiled at my new heart,
now yours, consumed,
satiated, satisfied;
your heart bleeds in me
but I am
impervious to thee.

the rise and fall
of flour; spilt milk
in a quarter of an hour


make sure you
don't burn out

you were pale
and you were sad
and unfortunately
so whirling, gazing out onto the horizon
you were,
smiling at tomorrow
and the guy next to you
that you forgot how it was
to feel the earth between your toes
it was lost forever in that instant of hair
and eyes going horizontal and merging
becoming one streak of delight.
I knew you then
as one bird knows another
how you longed in your heart to fly
and give up what the earth demands
and silently, in the solace of dawn,
tiptoe away from the roots of the tree
and into the morning sky

but as it peels apart
the sink fills up


with hot soup,
though i see no fire.


fine accompaniment for the cold
shoulder of lamb


should i grill it, or
is it just small


fry? gingerly seasoned;
fingers burnt -


this is not just a stupid
root (purple in the face,


stubborn layers) so
why does it make me cry


into my hands
