Garbary 11
(Elblag, Poland 28th August 2009)
the tactile
is whipped
into the other
eye and I'm a
bunk bunking
on tip toes
jeepers
creepers
in this patch
of northern Poland
red stars
dot the graveyard
and if everybody knew
what they want
there would be
no government
people people
this is a riot
the measure of love
is to love without
measure
I'm suspended
in the ethical
in this palace
of baby gods
oh baby I'm
going to give
you a mystery
in this wormy spermy
canal after that final
yes the point comes
trotting after

another quick revision
Unheimlichkeit ( the breaking of ground)
it takes four horses
to overcome
14 pounds
of limp flesh
& what is crossed
is found again
in modern Utah
a cowboy came
to me shucking
corn and shrugging
with his wads of
paper from the Lamma
welfare shelter
and I was chewing
Now & Laters
while my grandmother
Jean was dissolving
into Northern
Irish gravy oh lottery
to the grand
land of dreams of
hidden
Star Wars figures
forgotten on light bulbs
this is a faint signal
from Portadown
to Milton Keynes to
Las Vegas
agog with crackes and shells
alive alive piecing together
extra bits is that you
in front of me in a rocket ship
with Neil Diamond
blasting we're coming
to America
today today but I'm in Elblag
Poland among Teutonic
bones and the shadow of a nun
in her spires I've dreamed
of horses I've dreamed of lands
I've never seen
such a variety of houses & fortresses
which fish make from their own liquor
& saliva these details take precedence
over a panorama

-------------------------------------------------------------
four horses to
overcome 14 pounds
of limp flesh
--------------------------------------------------------------
this is whale watching
on the blinding
islands
with sliding
waters what is
crossed
is found again
--------------------------------------------------
last night a Utah
cowboy
came to me
among the red
rocks and offered us
some land
and shortly after I
was back in Milton
Keynes England
with a rocket ship
in the mall & Neil
Diamond
blasting
we're coming to America
today I'm in Elblag
Poland among Teutonic
bones and
the shadow of a nun
in her spires
the Wulkan pub
where another new life
was sprung
among the clicking
of sharp heels
I've dreamed
of horses I've dreamed
of lands I've never seen
& saliva these details take precedence over a panorama

Trendy Club
(Elblag, Poland)
I'm the oops slits
in yon skirt
all creatures
unite
practice smoking
in the sheet
of metal
with puppet
lips here
on ice
with itchy
dreams
dispersed
in the creamy
touch this
stranger shacking
on the greasy
table on the
loud hum
of testicles
we ride
the brambled
motions
I'm not
your
stoic mistress
