Light on the Stones

Two hard stones, surrounded by soft bubbly foam, with insects and elephants moving pleasurably in the mist. The comfortable confident stone substance does not move, but the foam forms to the grooves, bubbling with complete ease and embrace. Mist caresses the stones in the night. The sounds of the insects mix with the sounds of the elephants, forming one hypnotic symphony vibrating the stones so subtly, as they feel the pull of the planet. Something new is coming down, a presence, a light. The stones then morphed and combined, crystallizing into pure gold.

Green Gold

Like a seed
You are so darn tough
On the outside

I’d like to see
What happens
If you burst forth

From the soil
Of acceptance
And warmth

What unravels
From your beautiful insides

Become verdant
Like green gold

Your nature's
Perfect contribution

IN MY VAULT

Soft waves wash across our feet
and wipe our footprints from the sand.
Board walk provides a deep backbeat
from a sixties tribute band.

We've walked along this beach before
and heard the plaintive sea birds cry
as they patrolled this stretch of shore
wheeling within a clear blue sky.

But now my gait is not as fast.
My love slows down because of me
unlike the times far in the past
when we splashed this east coast sea.

Cough the news

It's about our safety and security dependents upon this surrogate REDATCTED\\\ I love freedom, don't you? ? ? I fell over silently when the tanks rolled in] REDACTED\\\ When the poll tax riots occurred in London] We lost, people died, police died. REDATCTED\\\ When they re-emerged - they tried at] least With a great silence- well that fucking worked 99 percent - is silent failure in the face of powerful indifference We are depending too much on all of these people. I appeal to all those independent anonymous thinkers] \\start thinking\\start hacking.

Black Dust Orbit

do you know
how much light you have to have in you
to play in the darkness

ask the lady of the moon
my trilling lover of comatose dreams
scum queen dressed in fallen roses
on her knees
her head a cocked jaw
throat; a giraffes
for shirts of skin and magic wands
