hate haunts the city while
armies of petrified statues
warn us of the frozen moment
and the empty halls of eternity.

make love while you can.
take a moment to consider
the landscape from your window.
watch the sun melt in the
doorway till night comes
and darkness arrives with
the last bus.

hope taken like the young
man in a crash.
love divides us
in storms of anguish.
people hiss behind
the back. riots of
fear. earthquakes are
giant rocks punching
each other in the face
underground. arguing
parents bitter for the
life they shelved
to make babies in
the cot.

let them whisper
fateful judgments
let them
point the insane
finger at your
dough mind.

rise
rise rise
the yeast
of yourself.

the bread of
what you are.
share that.
mend the cracked
shadow of a wounded
mind. expose yourself
and let the judgments
fall like condemend buildings.
gone. all gone.
bound to go.
let the judgments come
like atom bomb.
they can whisper
like priests in
prison confessionals.

expose yourself
and they will
shun the truths
which they refuse  
the hatred they
smile through.

be a muscle,
flex. know that
the course is
hard and the rewards
small. know that
every man and
woman must break
the straitjacket
of their neurology
day in day out.

let the microlove
of the macrouniverse
be enough.

make something
to immoratalise
your time here.
for a few family.
for the close one.
for the loved.
for the easy cow
and bull of hate.
the antiquity of
rage nothing but
an outdated piece
technology.
 
no disneyland is life
but sometimes a green field
is good enough to call Heaven
- an Heaven is only a moment
and even then, how many moments!

don't let the worm of
self doubt cripple your feet.
fuck it.  burst through the wall of
your pretense. smash righteous
the worm of the intellectual.
the overbearing mathematics of the
beaurecrat.

Go kiss the tender mouths
of those who seek affection.
Prize open the smallest of
shadows. Pour a warm light
on the cold body.

 Come to life,
ready to be made by it.

Cheers, sparrow. Glad you like the work.

It's far too long and sloppy. Few things I make take from it.

I am so long-winded, I'm learning to cut off the surplus, but it's hard, too much fat, too much rind, no enough meat.

Working on it.

It meanders and snakes throwing some great lines. I need to come back to it, but I enjoyed it on the first read. So little time to say much more. Has Carcuss emailed you yet? I did chase him, but he can be slow
