Ah Now I See: Four By Six
AH NOW I SEE
What we dismiss as shit
(Beyond the bodily)
Is no more than something
That we don’t understand
Grave Misdirection: Shadorma
GRAVE MISDIRECTION
Dear Donald
Look in a mirror
Not down south
This so-called
National emergency?
That’s where you’ll find it
Somme And Then Some
SOMME AND THEN SOME
A hundred years pass
Birthing ceremonials
Little has been learnt
Never Pat A Burning Dog
NEVER PAT A BURNING DOG
Sundry faiths there are
Bickering over the words
Of a single truth
Poo Purée
POO PURÉE
Fundamentalism
And “white supremacy”
They have a pungent scent
Smothering any sense
Reckoning
RECKONING
The day comes
(If you are still here)
When you look
All around
And see all those favourite
Books, discs, videos
The ace ones
You’re not done with yet
Retained to
Revisit
Though if you started today
There wouldn’t be time
True Name
TRUE NAME
You mined me for gold
Your pick in your hand
No don’t mind me no
Ore waste your time
For my gold is mine
And mine alone
Nominal – a loan
A nom de plume
Plucked from the air
Light as morning mist
A feathery tag
Tagged – you’re it!
Thought me caught fast
Not so fast though
Not so fast as you thought
A puff of wind blew me
Up, up and away
You cry out my name
From the still sky
Not even an echo
Dreams Not Real (Dreams Not real)
