Sprite full


Words lick at the skin
Trickle out your mouth
Into a boiling din
Deserve the pain gifted to you
Rewrap it with a glittery bow and a common-wealth of ribbon.
Slap the sticky tape neatly on to the transcendent box.
Spritz with sniffing so that every eye socket draws closed.
Fight with who gets to keep it ethereally.
Spring wings beating out your back ache-ing over
No one notices the cataclysm.
Giver of the gift give it to who you love the most who treasures you.
Watch the micro aggressions trigger on their face
An itchy scratchy shotgun for the front seat.
Slammer on the breaking.


Make them thank you for it.

Sorrynotsorry


Banana is bleeding already
Fucking Nero typical
Bigger blast radius of breasts
Bitter boys shedding skinny jeans
Spitting shrieking screaming warriors
Still looking resplendently puffy
First in the lineation of priorities
Whether for prison passports
Or prize winning tactile tantrums

The Funeral


Cotton starch stench
Sea whipped to floss frenzy
Cobwebs bursting forward free
Endless intimate infinity
Contained.

Stringing along sorrow
Twang twat
Tears freeze eyeballs still
But dare not impeach
Sting or bite

Stained sheets
Damp legs
Screaming
The sureness ache of hunger
Left.

Scale the stream of colour
twisting out of view
(up and down bleating: a heart monitor)
each filled with a
vacuum
happiness burns brighter than a tear but it leaves a better tear

the stage was torn down
a billion tiny fistfuls of letters


no more lines are left

The coffee cliché





Fear coffee burning lips. Already scared scared by the matriarchal punishment of general teeth. Bursting forward to siege the mouth, searing seizing agony that lasts a briefness eye blinker. Try to guard the way with hypocritical stained bone, marinating in the fizz of the fight between what you want, what you need and what will kill you in the best most bright way. Today death is the harder option, with up paid bills and a missing credit score. Tomorrow brings a new hopeful sun kissed sky that bludgeons book ends and un tongue tipped words. Don’t even enjoy the taste, just the heat and the eye punches open. Woke. Past tense. Sleep now tighter frightened of the big bad pig that crosses territories  into safe hospices. Scarf clad, boot decked, cup clasped, hat tipped figures litter nightmares. Documenting your fall from fast paced hope to the langsam lofty ideals of sleeping on the parentals sofa.

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?
