Control
The illusion of control - control is futile.
While artists delineate limits.
A watcher rides the wild.
Surrounded by pictures, I walk right into them.
Road kill.
The peaceful head
Unflinchingly rests
To the side of a torn body,
Bloodied breast.
The car speeds on
Oblivious as the murderway
Claims another badge,
To stud its tarmac skin.
Arterial roads which span,
Ouroboros,
The globe,
A tennis ball tossed
In the Aether.
Infected by life,
That disease so proud
Of what little it can
Wreak.
A pin-prick
At the cold eternity
Of nullity.
The multiverse is there
Within a globule of her sweat
And the musical spheres
Are echoed in her breast.
And what fierce wand,
To lash them?
Spiteful time punishes the ripe peach of her face.
A face that helmed Poseidon's awe,
Aquiline,
Aquatic.
No nobler profile has
Prowed the visored waves.
The sea is not heaven.
Paradise pit,
A dustbowl
For grimy angels,
Unwashed and stinking.
Bound she feet
Straps,
Toes in the
Palm
Of your hand
Reeking
sweat hot.
Let me denude Creation
So that her rains might fall
And drench us all
In their golden liquidity.
Clouds and rain,
Streaming hair like a comet tail.
Servant girl's shoe.
Busking in rags with rings on her charcoaled toes.
A face yet golden, emerald eyes.
God physique.
Bareback
She rides
On a steaming black horse,
Shod in silver shoes.
She skin damp
She hair
Scent
Sodden
Amongst the fallen petals
Of wine-pressed flowers.
Her tight clad cheeks were in my mind.
Her feet were helpless,
Moist,
Flaccid digits.
Language is constraint. there is no purely 'automatic' writing ... all writing ... hesitates ...
This why writing is erotic.
Artists have a penchant for the forbidden.
Age outrages the form human
Disgraces the race
And is good for only those
Skeletal remains
That danse macabre
In etchings and flames
Enemies of water, blood,
Enemies of colour,
Of brains and sinews
And phlegm.
The stark nose,
pleated mouth,
Chin and open throat,
Caramel lips, tongue, lining,
Saliva
Poets want to lose control.
