Know Your Place
16 bodies
across the city,
connected by radio
frequencies encrypted.
The technology
of stones
and the waves
that can
and can't
pass through them.
He had the best
connections.
When you listen
to his music
today,
you are looking
through his phone book.
La Monte Young.
It's a small hand
on a long arm
reaching down
your throat.
Looking for
lost fish bones.
You are a giant
in need of help.
Every thing is
some what repaired.
It is the price
of passing through
time and not
being forgotten.
The letter I,
the heart symbol,
the letter U
& all the luck
in the world.

Bottom Feeder
A small metal tree
used to display
fragments
of an exploded skull
bone shaved back
to reveal
the teeth's
raw roots.
Saw dust carpets
to soak up poisons
long fangs
sink into throats
like quicksand
too hungry
to wriggle out of.
Thick red hairs
poke out of
slow moving joints.
A flamboyant
ostrich feather gown
ruined by inevitable
melting glaciers.
Kiss each one goodbye,
a dreadful ceremony.
Last seasons looks anyway.
a hammer
thrown into the lake
finds it's home
in the belly
of an enormous
bottom feeder.
once inside
it smashes everything.
A fallen giants
wedding ring
worn as a
prize fighters
trophy belt.
a weeping woman
in the front row
sighs
"If only
your father
could have been here
to see this."

A Matter of Trust
Tall cans on
outlying streets.
A wet gutter,
a lit bus.
The dark between
streetlamps.
A hat trick of
3am weeknights.
Over wrought fence,
hide in the shadow
of a tall tree.
Ducking from cops,
from parkies,
from cops.
Kisses in spider spun bandages.
Open up and
let the rain
water run over
your open shirt,
your open skin.
Timid hearts
bared to the wind.
It's a matter of trust.
It is a matter of trust.
Shrieking for justice
from this night's sky.
Each star, glowing streak and
celestial blackness,
yet my hand here in yours.
What terrible thrills!
A stray olive branch
or more visions.
To return
to the party
like doves.

Ghost Door
There was a hole
in the open door
carved by ghosts
for late guests
A knock in the chops
that slips my neutrons
leaving me a loose mass
of radioactive isotopes
I could never
have been a contender,
what a relief!
only so many
hours in a day,
only so many
fish in the sea.
line caught
and thrown back.
the place
where the scales stop.
an artificial gill pump.
water folds over
porous skin.
a swimming food pipe
with a tongue like a
car window dog.
a finger trap
for limbless creatures.
how does a snake
scratch it's nose?
petrol hovers on
the surface of a wave.
a sunset oil slick.
the colours of
prehistoric suns
reflect onto
thirsty retina
kiss and make up.
blood rituals
performed by children
in late summer time twilight.
each petal
meticulously
glued on.
There was a hole
in the open door
carved by ghosts
for late guests
