COVER YOUR EYES:

Looking like gods in Red woollen hats,
And Smucker’s honey,
Strawberry jelly,
Do you want coffee?
One more horn for a rising boy,
One more steel cut,
One more cactus on the table,
Swimming in the pool one last time under palm trees

(K)

PARADISE:

After dancing in the dust,
After congratulations,
After automatic doors and guava,
After race and gender,
Before birdsong and light,
Before coffee and steel cut oats,
The tattoos walk in

(K)

BETTER:

Sleeping cat,
Skeleton fear,
Straight – no chaser,
High as a kite,
Your wooden bones,
7 – 2 down in the 3rd quarter

(K)

NETTLE SOUP:

How are you?
Good,
How are you?
Good,
Juice?
Coffee?

(K)

ICED CAKE:

More bloody music from the room next door!
Oh my god!
Good morning cheap hotel,
T-shirt flag in the water

(K)

DIRT FORK:

Tile,
Stone,
Bath,
Bone,
The big horn blown,
Everything gone,
Open daily

(K)

HEAD:

Suspect smarter than detective,
This is desert living,
I am Red in a Green world

(K)

HISTORY:

It’s so cute,
Nobody suffers,
No sides,
Everybody inside,
No hungry,
How many people?

(K)

CULTURE:

Watch through chicken wire,
Big eyes,
Beautiful,
One and one and one in the cut-house

(K)

ANIMALS FROM OUTER SPACE:

And we’re all here waiting,
Wheels embedded with stones,
Like jewels,
Music comes out of the ground,
Perfect,
Black van,
Dodging holes
