day and
light the ebbs
drool of bitten snow
shawn bird squint
paw pined spike
blinked ice
hardens crystal jaw
raw limbless gaunted
frozen gown
goarses
blanched
seeps
sepia glisten
pinched heavy wrench
of heavy curtain
scowerer of bite trench
fractured glint
hollow of sorrow drawn
bruise by
false track
swept trails
paws of the winter we can't follow.

grief lies inside a winter
scorn rain ice
shark raged
swoop ferocious
angled glide
colds the currents
nightfall
of spies jagged rags
repentant river banks clad by
cealed scythe
frowning shadows
englassed dye
weepless colour
dry grim
scraped culprit flowers

tear skies

vapour thunder
base spear

the lance-braking.

like its sun dissolving into skies
the warm splattering of evening
flows cooler lighter
where Sussex tills its harvests
seated astride
bails of hay spread
drawn woven welding
skies meet
tides this gentle island
like tide glides
running-out from warm
as mildly

how waves slap onto the beach
toppling the seas
hurdling every charge
hoisting sprays
eruptions shower
wake cloak
days shortened
blown cross the wind
the rinsing tomorrow
chiseled contours
like tidal currents
grimaced gulled
rip of skies
life of breathe bows
before distant glow
pulling tearing
winters closer
scraping
bludgeoning
insistence

figure line
suit the wind
swing vivacity
all your contours
grip sun live
sign the limbs
stretch full dreams
dance out shadow
cast the line speak
don't shrink the sail lifeless
or steepen the wrung
but claw at the taut embrace
and sing with the winds tongue

skimming gulls
dare peck
hidden
breaking-in waves
squawking rasping sands
shingle hesitant
flight hapless beaks
crammed voice and shell
crack skull whelk
mallet pebbled beach drop dive
tangling with seaweeds
horizons
drift ashores
reclaim seas from tides
wait winter
linger like rain wing
oblique prodding
feathered litter
stranded
disguised with purpose
claw caws tides
clung landed

heave your branches
claw the slatted screen
awake the
crack mortar jagged
wind -beat of pulse
membrane transparent
lift of sun
can't sink
pallid dry
of season
before light is poured away

blue skies
breaking above
cloud of waves
guiding
lap coral
leaf breathe
shadow sun swell
night rainbow
surfs current
swim reefs constellations
that slow fish
of 'stay'.

a yew tree shields my vision
windows smudge
cloud of burst
breaks on slates
roofs the hills knot
hurrying flees wrinkled waders
wreathed in leaves
grubby brown gaunt
greed stalked
felled frontiers stubble
plains the cloud limbs
rooted buried rage
storming clench
clasps of fury choked
winds veined branches
bleed the
blade-flaying echoes
thrash foliage of skies
felled feared
nights collisions

i've taught
I've fought
to disparage slights
of lesser carriage
bossed wantons lost
drum diaries sprung
barbed by wires
fierce sore-sighted
pinned down by lines
blanks that catch light
blighted torch ignited
that poems the flies lost
might of flame
the wild kite of hums
rasp of mast
sails between the pasts
and now where I've alighted.

losts looks rubble
heat dust suffocate metallic
stubble
sick and fear panic daze
desperations craved
clutchings afraid

continents tear
terror grief
hopes grave
prayers not solace
aren't spared
passed shadows
under concrete teeth bared
how little is the life
in whom we once shared?

dusk lights
candle star wise
infinity spark
flame of wickless respite
brighter shiver
Mirror torch
holy spires
unlike shadow day
burnt in incense

daylight ebbs false
snows bitten

limbless gaunt

cruel the sepia seeps
listing path
the fool
flies
after the snow

are the wrinkles
storm and ambition
great corruptor
specks of time
ammunition of dust
doesn't share
when you run
from people
running out of time
views the steeple
of idol sculpted mutters
febrile soul
sifted to a rabble by
some forager of people
restless
shifting
under the graves
beneath the morgue
cornered in caves

sky the sun wrinkle
soft vengence
hush blackbird
flush in swept
deepened the stun
seize the mosaic
course the emerald
vault of turquoise
debris the
blemish light
the...
gorse cut sunk sepia slunk
awaits moon presses
half-lit skies west shift
dazed cloud race
wind host
frowning shadows
unsure pour
pursue heavens guides
along unfamiliar
currents of nightfall
wearing such cloud
too close to twilight
where nights razored
flags echoes the punish beaten skies
bruised by edges
raiding clouds
and sharpened dark
freezes age
lines of swollen towpath
colourless puddles of
shrinking time
lightscape of chorus fellon
spirits the turn the shell
when slope swells
the treasured well.

in my years
under oak beams
that crossed ceilings
I have held slate roof
by dreams taught by
winds rain
of slanting hills
deranged by aching fern
moss and my years that come
curling night into its shadow
neon the brush wing
like bones of silence
wrought or wrung

if words describe my face
not shade or shadow
but colours hues
relentless dawn of purpled blue
prowling hunter red-yellowed
late eager stalker
then in words
that craft african
jewels mined of centuries
of bold black gold
hands
the psalm of found memory
to us that dye of sound by verse
that ancient love of
the vocal wrinkles without curse
older than rain that
feeds the grain
of patient confidence
that is the root of the very sun
without a whisper.

emptied fields
faceless
winds tree
that listen quiver
rivers leaves
cascade of twists
fallen on
ice-wax flint
lower the valleys
in hand skinned land
slain flow
drift the slain
leanings dawns
the tail of suffocate
lists grinds resists

i love painful
the memory musterer
more cannot love again
for I have the still
of love

given memories are our cost
the vat skew
day tightens our toil
lit by vine foil
sun will be the tongue
that flawlesses the pitch
the claw of the pigmeny eyes
then merriments dulcit
stars the reach
rhyme of grazing song
songs the squinting moon
to mirrors grape
unsteadied gape
grapples fallen late
tall lights of seasoned blurr
is always stalked by halloes curr.

window drips tapping
contours of ground
sibilant mapping
rain tributeries

groans tired of mud
blurting arteries
belchings of road

dumb like hidden

daubed drum lurid
towering roar

spill of birdless skies
retchings shriek
of rain glue
spared gore

shadows of rain
canopies fumed dust
press windows flat
sludge crust sucked
the crest flaking
night groan
blind it to grope the dark
shapeless the contours
limbless the mining
lifeless the dust
restless the haunt where
shadow loses its ghost
to drain
and empty the gaunt

cold the curse
where lies drop and die
speechless the corners of the word
of ink

pounded upon plunder
horizon rebounding base

are iced by tentacles
that stall sun blind

glistened prized
gaup galled

brute shall fall before
my name

poems the wish
mortals the foil of
pollutions crop jaded
man-frail
feeds the mast
hoists the braille
....sucking human souls
into a pit fall
remorseless in recoil
facing down but alone
contortions as their last
act the belonging contrives
disfigured gargoyles
to ward-off the unclearing lost
that they couldn't survive

combustion engines hover
like the distance in all its rush-hour
metal orb simmers in the blue scream
alarm clock cracks open the mourning day
steel s the drips from the tap
boils triangular bag like
perforated disorder clinging
to the slab of minds
locked in deranged sleep
breakfast chimes on mobile phone
mouth slop biting crackle
the first chewed verbiage
a post-shredded through
the abandoned cap=flap
of bills like refuse crapping on
doormat
razored fights chin
nips and cuts
tepid ceal
reflection-bitten
greyed black
like toothpaste on
sore dentistry
just swallow the lurking fumes
of coffee and cigarette as it
wastes across table quivering
silver-marked cutleries
sifting through spoons
of lumps of blunt bread soaked
in strands of light cradling
waste-rust industrially levelled
keys dig into door
twisting like middle-age
dropped clumsily sketching the road marks
screeching rush propelling alongside
the bus of fluorescent
buzzing in low gears
not cured of lurid floss
spreads thick the painted adverts
that curb crawl
the packed glum of closed faces
bar the squelch of standard graded
cosmetics and chews
gum and rattle
the anxious piano finger
of social exclusion disconnects
and the boarding of the shift of day
that morning slams shut on
longings that are spewed-out
trailing in dark dreams
without filtering the exhausted pipe
consuming heartless the suck
that rages in choking
relentless recoil.

burn graceless
pitiless thorn
squander your vengeful claw
inflame-boil your spiral drift
and gasp thankless
at your unforgiving flaw

sun blistered trace
burns horizons and bone-days
short humids the wheeze
asthmatic boiled
deserts of coil
under the brim
of blurred words
echoed curt
silenced side
those shadow clamps
chase the curse
the air we brush
rounds the waves
without the graves thirst

pure forbidden trance
reap stoke pains
teeth glitter chant

raw fire-lance
deep choke stains
flickers askance

pyre tall soft silent
smoke flame rains
winters the highlands

of coarse slants

without recourse to chance

the smokers cough

strewn amongst perches and
wrench
peers factories
leers
razored
attack life-fear
fugitive
mutt-packed rush staccato
mail thud

dumps human mained
spilt that spill City
huddles of shunting cold
tired crossings of gaping rust
jagged rutt human chasing
a jaded led stuck wasting.

of cloud that no longer scrapes its trail
metallic iced cringed
rippled the skim
blue=span goldening wing
hover blossom
springs the peel of tender sun
stills the pallour wry
and gentles the din

meander the scarred mist
and engine trails flays
scalpel sinews the flesh
mosaics the bleeding
stripped canopy glints
the solar dreaming
impailled glimmer
baselessly drifts
unquilted sifting
rifts the torn clings
to the alliance of the dawn
taunting time to be re-born

meander the mist
and engine trails flays
scalpel sinews the flesh
mosaics the bleeding
stripped canopy glints
winters glance
reigns all that has past
with resource to chance.

between salt-blistering
curve of sea currents or
tides that thirst
like wave languishing
beaches the sun quivers
like ripples of sand flame
scorching oceans porous
shallows sun lies drowning
floundering...

it burns like stings
wincing the high cloud
wrinkling unravelling zephyrs
that spilt silken levels
yet where does sun lie drowning
but before the pounding sisyphean task....
sun chokes on morals reason
eternal repeat gasps
hounded flounders rasp
fate is not drowned
but floating in bloated masks
limp cadaverors
devouring
lists poisoned
scuttles fists the
relentless devotion

grieving inside a winter
like raining dark no
longer guides us along
familiar currents of nightfall
jagged river banks
scythe the frowning shadows
as glass puddles weep colourless
the loneliness of shrinking time
that lights never permits
those centurions skies spectre
the braced blizzards crowd
twilights and sickens
razored forests scream-flayed
bark echoes the winds
to fumble encryptions overload
punish the beaten skies
poison on our tow-path-lugging
scarred broken
lands hidden hunters
and fallen lies
shielding our gasps
letting bodies rot
that armour creaking frost
sore run-through chewed hollowed
