no one survives a self
five to one, baby
one in five
– Uncle Jim
rule of this world and of
notional others
(for godsbother)
beards of the on-high
and glimpse of sunstruck
parting
fools will still call
heaven
humble
plenty kid along
to advantage
many ripe to suggestion
open
fancy they see the print
through the page
I live in the great fire
of time, don’t you?
take up our blood and go
blessed to be woke
mid such superstition
nor in the truth of love
so trumpeted
just as much as there is
still the work is
othersided
(wills work free of the
loom
no more than these words)
can you hear the angels
singing?
frightening familiar
as if members of our choir
stray stars to
supernovae
there isn’t a
where-to-which-we-go
close to certain as can
come
many still try
no grammar lasting
think kindly and play
nice
to be then not
(our situation)
managing an instinct
make a wish
made hard
dreamware
a who-how
what to expect
smash and grab
or tenderly
call all flesh to
conversation
witnesses to stand
far spells
like drink
learn love from the
cradle up
cruel truth to
other end all time
not so many now
the past was hard
no less pretending
a verse of so soon gone
traces artefactual
rhymes find us in the
midst
can make miseries out of
almost anything
advice, a bottle, mirror
sigh
pleasure of need met
as in and dreamt foretelling
and through it all come
hither
song first ours
then give you a wrestle
or we could call it a
dance
destination Belanglo
responding to Tug’s
the Belanglo joke: coming through the forest at dusk, the
hitchhiker says to Ivan, ‘it’s getting dark and scary in here’. Ivan replies, ’You’re
scared? I’m the one who has to walk back on my own’
it’s always coincidence
brings us
atoms to the cell
moments pils
the girl in the boot on
the highway
the narrow escape of her
friends
have to imagine thrust
and parry
the bundling in
and that these people
were, not of their nature, newsworthy
some will say good as
she got
warrant outstanding in a
twist (interstate)
was this an over-zealous
citizen’s arrest?
a knife for compliance from
the dream kitchen
so many known unknowns
here
and so on, vice versa
narrow, lucky
dizzy in the dark,
forced
minus meds in there
though bloody and still
bleeding
could poke out a tail
light
wave a truck down
would no news have been
good for them?
had she gone quiet?
was it all screaming?
so many questions the
courts are for
and can have no doubt
this was justice
lurid albeit
once were like sisters
and some sisters are
merely acquainted
but you cross a line
motives still under
investigation
we do know
it was her own car
