PEELING:

This slow heartbeat,
This direction,
This purpose,
This love,
That private rhythm pulsing,
I’m a fish,
Not swimming in water,
Craving nothing,
The upside to waiting,
Something voodoo in an accent they wont understand down South,
A dark-edged comedy,
Identity lost & found,
Frictionless trade,
I remain,
Open until further notice

SOMETHING LOST:

Here it comes,
Enjoy it,
Do you want to look around?
A bad dream becomes an artwork,
A gathering of strangers cradle solitary flowers,
Bottles,
Labelled with numbers,
Mine is 13,
My favourite,
My good luck,
Makes me laugh to find it,
Waiting for me,
In this room of Purple disco walls,
Sunlight on our backs

CROSSING OVER THE MOTH:

Where is David?
David isn’t here,
I wish he was,
Where’s he gone?
The Dogs are howling,
The babies crying,
The mothers,
The boys,
The bicycle riders,
Looking lost
David’s gone,

Relentlessly happy,
I couldn’t stand it,
Now he’s gone,
I miss it,
He knew my name,
And everybody’s dog,
Everybody’s business,
Everybody’s problems,
Were connected,
Small,
Mobile,
Intelligent,
Unit,
Celebrated,
Trinket,
David in colours,
Shaking hands
Visits like the Queen,
The Jack,
The Ace,
The conduit,
He rolled up the sun & took it with him

BAG & PALLET:

What’s the answer to the re-incarnation question?
It’s a cabaret,
A collection of songs,
A drama,
A dance,
An intellectual spandex moment,
A fistful of sequinned flowers,
The past on wheels,
The wheel’s are pushed by wide-eyed men,
No pain,
The letter’s in the post

AFRICA IN A SAUCER:

Thank you for missing your bus for me,
Are you still running?
Designed for endurance,
That whole physiological thing,

You really are the poster boy,
Clean & heritage,
Legacy,
I’ve got a craving,
For something expensive,
To make me happy,

Maybe something second hand,
Would be more realistic,
Something with a little rust,
In need of TLC

HOLD THE HAND RAIL, HERE COMES SPRING!:

Anywhere,
Somewhere,
Not here,

Nothing to say,
But saying it anyway,
What’s your problem?

Trying to change the world?
That’s a big ball of dirt,
(for one pair of hands)

Where have you been?
First day back,
Hit the ground running,

Intense,
Hello,
Life on wheels,

Energy,
Banana,
Vitamin

(today listening to: Burham Oçal – ‘kirklareli il siniri‘)

DARK TRAIN:

Something will happen,
Something will happen,
Bless you,

I’m standing still,
Thinking nothing,
Makes a change,
And I like it,
What’s the code?
The number?
I just lost one,
I’m looking for another,

Let me see your eyes,
Don’t obsess on the sad stuff,
You don’t know where it’s been,

Get your wizard out,
It’s a quiz,
A room full of voices,
Particularly docile,
Keeping it warm,
In free fall
