PARCHMENT RAINBOW:

Lover,
Eternal,
Up since five,

It takes me ages,
To,
Like,
Get ready,

Got to get away,
Tap dance,
It’s worth it,

What time you working ’til?
Six?

Me?
I’m not sure,
Maybe three,
I haven’t decided,
But I’m laughing on the inside,
A spectrum of light through the glass around the eyes

(K)

HE SMELLS OF SOAP:

The walker,
Double denim,
Glances back to check it’s me,

Seven cones & a note between us,

Strider in the market,
Tool bag,
Back pack,
Flat cap,
Space walking astronaut of the provinces

(K)

YOU DON’T KNOW WHO I AM:

The phone rings,
But I’m not answering,
She pulls away,
But I’m not waving,
Demystifying birdsong on a cartoon branch,
In the cartoon sky above a cartoon house,

Leave the bag in the water,
It’ll get stronger,
That’s not a chat-up line,
It’s a fact

(K)

FIRST & LAST:

Fierce hope,
Chaos beards,
Beauty crying,
Sugar harmonium,
Painted worker,
Reversing paper,
Slam Apolo,
Cherry beam,
Darwin copper,
Dancing improviser,
Original peel,
Cold digger,
Skinny reader,
Fractured honey,
Frustration accumulation,
Liable names,
Puppet cartoon,
Time calls,
Still smell,
Gold progress,
Breakfast changes,
Ritual alarms,
Intimacy once,
Right good,
Medicated air,
Security line,
Remembered tragic,
Face what?
Up out,
Undone story,
Muppet yeah,
Bold hand,
Rhythm kisses,
Weekend blinks,
Dance talking,
Face raisins,
Selling manifestos,
Breaking beginning,
Bees twisted,
Glass ride,
Seconds cast,
Boy box,
Petals superfine,
City track,
Yet simplicity,
Touch sounds,
Hands milk,
Am taken,
Sweet-things again,
Underway comes,
Great yet?
Lemon childhood,
Something guarantees,
Help sunshine,
Bollards mix,
Story down,
Kitchen feet,
Howling flowers,
Invisible Mars,
You? word,
Papers? happens,
Oh outside,
Beautiful yard,
Sweet blood,
Satin lips,
Underground childhood,
33 backlash,
Smiles Black-shoe,
White walker,
Slide rain,
Jelly sleeping,
Breathing tickets,
Started brooding,
Mouth love,
Chicago working,
Street deaf,
Waitress away,
Man cup,
Waitress day,
Flicker point,
T.V it,
Dynamic empties,
Around doing,
Good Purple,
Perfect good,
Sunlight kinder,
Loaded time,
Man out,
Wall us,
One sky,
Crow feet,
Shuddering room,
Air it,
Goes weeds,
Wait frustrating,
Soon lid,
Something wheel,
Inclined self,
Wood better,
Completely key,
Waves exposed,
Lens safe,
Attention flossing,
Water hissing,
Missile tourist,
You shoes,
Day me,
Honey it,
Disco flowers,
Insects electricity!
Room normal,
River else,
Else eating,
Leaving question,
Happy latte?
Fabulous low

(K)

NORMAL:

Good riders,
Tell me where you live,
Fantastic!

Hard,
I’ll see you soon,
Tokyo after typhoon

(K)

HONEY OVER EVERYTHING:

Lost & exposed,
Concealed in skin & clothes,
Slips into Autumn,
Tries to stay afloat,
Whispering low,
The sound of one’s own voice,
Cacophonous

Shaking hand,
Wrapped in time,
No cream on top,
It’s all too much,
And not enough,

Lost boy in the kitchen,
Fiddles with fingers,
Vacillates,
Imperceptibly vibrating,
Spinning,
Driving,
Standing still,
Chemically car crashed

(K)

I WAS ONLY JOKING:

He’s a rebel now,
Vibrating in my pocket,
Walks in laughing,
Makes me happy,
Clandestine meeting in the back room of a cafe,
On a deserted street,
In a town of no consequence

(K)

TREMBLING COMBUSTION:

I tried it,
I tried it last week,
I tried to check it last week,
It’s frustrating,
Yeah,
Can I ask you a question?

It’s frustrating,
I literally stumble every morning,
It’s literally one of those ‘what-do-you-do?’ – situations,
See,
It goes that way,
Shifting every week,

It would be foolish to leave,
Basically ,
Don’t leave the things that make you happy

(K)

THE MUSIC OF TREMBLING TOWERS:

Monstrous star,
Dust the sea before you take it,
Sleeping in a tall ship on the 32nd floor,
Creaking,
Groaning,
The night before,
Licking fingers for the sun,
The morning after everything,
Noah in the cities

(K)

FOR THE RECORD:

She bows towards the lift doors as they close,
One-to-twelve,
Open to reveal a tableaux,
Three bronze seals smiling,
One,
Balancing a ball on it’s nose,
Straddling ice,
Sculpted from tiny blocks of ragged glass

(K)
