Let the long night fade

ovember November I am your unworthy opponent
I hear the bell toll as you draw the curtains
nothing shapes me more than your days of mourning
The gateways the grey-ways inside’s all fervour
no point is sharper there’s no greater murder
you took the keys now I’m going nowhere
Wasn’t it the greatest when we lit up and sparked
you draw on and do such harm
it’s not just you but those fang teeth
I wake at three bitten with grief
I wake at four
I wake it five
‘til I wake no more staying hard boiled
What cruelty comes what corners are these
brittle wood branch snaps fighting to stay here
No sweetened air all the birds gone
your dead land’s a burden you’re wasting me inside
November I feel your hands holding me there
a face in the dark a court of shadows
they talk to me and keep on talking
November you have me I was ready to go
it’s you or me

The hunt and the herd
04:26

No walls deconstructed hear it coming from
the side of the road oh in the quiet a full-on rattle
It’s the black dust it’s the grey doves
Garden
trustee
black ring
elm tree
First it’s grey
low hanging fruit
needling through
lost in the snow
the hunt and the herd
Make no sound
sing like a bird released on fire
Silver and gold
released
I don’t believe the tame hand that feeds the hind behind bars all electric wires
don’t make a sound
light up light up
here’s the key
Silver and gold

Gravesend
04:55
|

|
Cloaks of wings flying in reflecting the screen’s luminosity
air cuts the glass withering a scream like an open grave
laughing as you cross off the days they’re there searching for threads
sew together all the slivers flying the flag on an iron moon
cough up stone the heart a coal no trail left the search is bled
tearing up trees with my bare hands and run fields ten at a time
ghosting the morning roads home steps whisper on stairs
life once known is now a forgotten boat of sunk prayers
lay down lay down forget forget
black fields black roads
the pylons verges
the undergrowth
Your mouth a black hole
where do you go
why’s it so
so long so long
estuary’s path
weeds
shipyard’s bridge
the platform break
the waters edge
Your mouth a black hole

Understand this a saving grace
from streets & obelisks
great dead weights cut away don’t push your luck just (be grateful) keep on breathing
Grown of feathers and fur don’t know whether fish or bird
oblivious to the words
staring at the tracks cold barked at our backs don’t look round just keep on running
At every storm and every turn the step a life preserve
your days won’t lift don’t hear your steps upon the earth
Dragged over fens to the fields for 800 days
at every storm and every turn a step a life preserve
Your days won’t lift don’t fail the fault
the iron steps ahead the sun just sets you can’t prepare
the earth’s caul’s no curse your iron steps ahead
now what
what
what
now what
what
What
your days won’t lift

Oh the skies they rain outside wrapped in true
truths crooked days hang on each wall the world
keeps on turning whether you like it or not winter
held us in a blanket til now: no shoots no promises
just roots into dead land it pulls their fingers it pulls
them in there’s a veil a veil covers everything
Oh the skies they blaze outside wrapped in true
truths crooked days hang on each wall framing
things past which have all been lost winter
it held us in a blanket til now: no shoots no promises
just roots into dead land it pulls their fingers in a veil
a veil covers everything forget your dreams ‘cos
there’s no point the cruel sun burns the buds
before they flower forget your dreams ‘cos
there’s no point forget your dreams
they only disappoint

Dual wounds

It’s not the torrents it seems not the bite in the flea
not the blood which is drawn it’s the mark made before
it’s not the cloak it’s the hood
not the veil yet the flood
it flies over we see is it you or is it me
it’s like in the wake of the tide the drown of the bride
her fingers lacing the top of the pool
not the wind dragging the dregs but fear of beneath the surface
it’s the leap in the faith the lesson in loss
the staff divines the truth last spoke echoes across -
the unhealed wound in the good leg that breaks
Not the arrowhead dark but the unlikely spark
the cut of the ride and why the country divided
for the gift and the give the way it was driven
not the hammer but the blow how could we have known
being downturned yet all was forgiven
in everything from before I would never have thought
it’s not that you don’t as you do
it’s all been true I meant each single word
I hang on to every syllable and say to myself
they were made of me as the day is long even with the fault in the line
my shaking hands and open-earth surgery the beating they break
me and bait me with all aches and worth
human mistakes I am made of only they are not my bones-true
blue skies clouded eyes good god there’s nothing else please just know
I am and still do I am and still do

False teeth

The shadows in his head
visit every single day
they reflect off the water
and back onto the page
Dirty nails are split
a blanket in his lap
writing a manifesto
that might not see the light
His moustache sends out smoke rings
a portal to the past
dwelling on his workings out
as he drowns in his own thoughts
N o s k y n o t h i n g a n d N o s p r i n g
See him from the sands
his stare given to the sea
the weather in his eyes
could start a fire in me
He waits for her all day
hunched by train and wind
oh she’ll never come - her rooms
hold her fast and quick
N o s k y n o t h i n g N o s p r i n g n o t h i n g N o c o n n e c t i o n w i t h a n y t h i n g
Her temperature always high
a tremor in her voice
pulling lank curls compulsively
regret flanking every choice
always at the window
eyes to the road
lilacs dying slowly
just like the shoots of any hope
N o s k y n o t h i n g N o s p r i n g n o t h i n g N o c o n n e c t i o n w i t h a n y t h i n g
And the sailor and the wheel and the hangman
and the fear and the tower’s lightening volt
and the crowds and the gulls and the quiet
and the lull and the desolation seat
everybody passes but where no-one
ever comes so for him I sit and wait
w ith him I sit and wait
W a t c h t h e s u n c l i m b W a t c h t h e c l o u d f a l l W a t c h t h e s a l t p r e s e r v e
