These would be

These would be
The speeches
Like cardboard
On your tongue
How could I
Wholeheartedly
Announce my parcel

Old mills

Old mills
Remade you
Have to wonder
The trauma
They create
Grinding out
The last grain
Of youth
All during
Happy hour

These posers





These posers
Are haunting talk
From friends
And hallway photos
Rain giving way
To late -glowing light
Twisting facts and
Somehow managing
But let’s not relax

The oldest melody

The oldest melody
In existence
Emotion knows
No recent pause
To a brook
All opposition
Sings

Flocking, sovereign

Flocking, sovereign
The near universal
Stand of crooked
Timber!
Kickoff our fall

There is not
A tissue worth
Of kindling

We seem

We seem
To have left
Out some
Crucial information
The position
Of the starshows
A way to get
A hold of
What took
So damned long
An unexpected
Medium

How can this

How can this
Beautiful case
Collapse in
Such
A straight-up
Weird way

What startled off
Far greater threats
No further borders
Could belay

At a remove unwanted
Objects could relate
It’s time we had not space

Little counter

Little counter
Paintings
Stood up by myself
An instant to capture
From the outset
Of blue, red
Yellow and black
How to ensure
I have had more
Than enough
A sea of unending
And flowers that stem
Their own tide

My drowning city

My drowning city
They’d drain
The peak oil
Consumers loving
War

Most of our new
Jobs are in service
Industry

Water to be sold
A sign in the window
Forces

People need to be
Shared
All the hippies
Breaking
Heart

The oldest known

The oldest known
From someone
Who actually teaches
The painted game
Wanting to ‘digest’
A mushroom skimmed
While it’s projected
Is molecular clinging
Which proves speech
Is capable of mold
