Position

Long-standing is prone to shifting feet behind someone’s scenes. Seeing sides for the taking, a part fits the place if not the person. Casually balancing this act between who and why.

Improbable kindness
even in dream, where we still trust,
turns predisposition turtle.

Onward

Air; that much needed soaring substance
borrows the h from height
just for fun, you could say
or to boldly split infinite hairs.

Home

The backlash of glee buckled me into a moment
unforeseen yet anticipated
as a matter-of-course, of course.

Stiffening the lip of return
against equilibrium,
brings home being home, again.

Intermittent Intermission

Two weeks
coupled with pause
= back soon.

Subjective

Startled objects
take liberties

by beguiling matter
into being presently tense,

teasing embodiment
to another level.

Into

Having clambered out-of-into, relief lived.
Until a peep, in quarrel with apathy,
won the look.

Combined with distance you’ll find
curiosity lends molehill a telescope.

The Blue

What becomes of blue when sky leaks late
deliveries too posthumous even to resurrect
a meagre shelter.

In opposition to atmosphere we say “out of or into”
as if nothing did come.

When

When there is nothing left to burn but the stake, which is commonly viewed as fairly decent fire wood, you could say that it was time to go electric. Can I suggest the Hendrix heater which, it must be said, has the drawback of only being effectively switched on by an experienced left-handed engineer, who for the duration of the heater’s use has to be employed by you under the terms and conditions laid out in his handbook, which includes such idiosyncrasies as his right to believe the said heater is working when it clearly is not and the possibility of his right hand seeking similar employment at a later date.

All Ears

The hand that sidesteps the bite, feeds itself
on the back of a camel whose leading straw
broke on the road to Rome.

OrEith-or

Either peppered with or
swinging the mill back from forth
to hear between the grind reduces
the sound of sight.

In the dark there is no form
and any resemblance is neither black
nor white, but a wavering of hands
holding air.

After Hours

When irregularity calls, there is no time to pour latency away, down the plug-hole of our.

Hours

If I said two dozen hours
would that split the day for twelve
or scramble morn-noon and after-ing?

Surrounded

by postponement
that rearranges precipice, flattening
the up-hill hours.

V

How useful an untimely lean may be against vertical inclinations, any upright fondness for sheer, prematurely tends.

Asserted within, (a confidence no trick can keep)
since aside manoeuvres by incentive: a need

for something other than, whispered as shout
or left understood, as if beneath occupied appreciation.

Dear Turn,

Was it the last corner that resolved everything?

Or your new head-dress?

It may protect your motives if not moves.

Perhaps that is how straight-forward led me astray.

28'a

An insipid solace (comfy lack) furnishes
a fair-weather risk
with haywire farce (cracked sun in the circus of chance).

After smog subsides
a cosy sprinkle left out of
sweep braves absolution,
the foreman of sorry,

upstaging a greedy diversion (hobby-hunger)
swallowed in translation to preserve pith.

Whisking detachment into silhouette (profile beat)
with a tissue that teases riot
genesis, sluttish yet bland

too graphic
and grim

as suspense hinders chronic charisma.

... restoration.

A return to ahead. Slivers of intoxication cut to the effect of cause, letting slip a hint of round, sharpened on inexpressible edge. The concealed results of hone, brush against high wires strung between art- and –iculate. To walk them is to tread words into the atmosphere.

After Sidoli

Clenched

clenched from afar (an out-of-town squeeze)
unsettles the tonic (of disturbed refreshments)
heading off from the scrub (bushes avert)
matching dilutions surrender (watery reproductions – “we give up”)
nippy strides memorise (learning to walk…………
ideas with no middle ( )
drop more examples
alone

a lone a drops from idea and astride memory nips solution in the bud. Damp and drunk on distress, tightening distance lets near go.
