How Dashing.

Dash at my throat
Slash your credit card
Buy my golden dings
Braison
Gashing my blood on the floor
Stocky limnonym
It’s a bugger to get off
Break me in half
Slicing through
Midnight melody
Mascara drips into
Soar circles
The empty closet is
Staggering
 The saintly hour bangs
I cannot leave                                                                                                                                    I cannot leave.
The saintly hour bangs
Staggering
The empty closet is
Soar circles
Mascara drips into
Midnight melody
Slicing through
Break me in half
It’s a bugger to get off
Stocky limnonym
Gashing my blood on the floor
Braison
Buy my golden dings
Slash your credit card

The Butchers Shop Window.


 Starving fingers wipe themselves across the glass.
Clawing at her insides till feet drag her through.
Blood drizzles behind them marking
The time till the daisies bloom above.
Candy stripes smock lean across and
Knows what is desired.
Scrabbling for coins. Count them. Now. Hurry.
The tiny scab of meat chipped.
Only the one? And he seems disappointed in you.
The sunlight dimples as he hands IT over.
Taking nothing in return.
Out. Of. Kindness.
He gives her his eyeballs, places them gently in her breast pocket
And they bulge awkwardly, obviously, bleeding too coating her in him. Staining
 the Last good shirt.
Only his eyes roam free, cutting her open,
As he is a professional no nicks or tears are seen.
Clean cuts that quantify her worth.
Spin like a rotisserie.
Time later the chop sizzles anditstickstohermouthandshecan’tswallowandsheiscryingandshedoesn’tknowwhy.



And The Hunger Passes From Them.

Where I was now.


Two forests closing eyelids framed with lashes grassed,
Litter scatters the sun beating concrete like rose petals on a dusty bed.
Twist through the trees, leap over three empty graves,
Smiling through the hollowed.
Children scream with precious energy, clambering free.
Guardians stand ready with tired eyes and tired feet’s, a ready meal smile.
Pass through the boundaries of this far away land, right next door to
Grange primary school with pencil lined gated learning.
Track down the mud path, picking at the blackberries. Tiny fingers.
Dodge the nettles stinging for the sweetness.
The devil will spit on them all tomorrow.
Hurry. Hurry.
The juice bludgeons hands clothes, sticky sour taste.
Think on those continually impending winter moths
And the Christmas ice cream, sharp against strudel.
Wait! The green gate. Bromfords lies ahead.
Turn, run. Skip over the creaking crack.
Swing through and past and over the steel security tape.
Plastic Chinese tubs bouncing on our hips like babes
Patter pattering down Friern gardens
Checked purple shorts, visor held together with paint, string and stubbornness.
Beaming cheeks at out bulging bounty.
Can we go back inside now?
