Variety 57
Did you ever hear the story of the man who painted eggs? It’s said he went mad. A bit like a hatter whose ingested too much mercury. Except he didn’t go mad. He was tricked. Should I be telling you this? You’ll probably won’t believe me anyway. With faces. That’s how it begun.
I never realised that every clown has a different face. Of course everyone has a different face, but what I’m getting at here is make up. Clowns make up. No clown is allowed to have the same make up as another clown. See, different faces. Its clown law. You’d think, if you were of a peculiar mind, this could be used to great advantage. By whitening up your face, and applying the particulars of a certain clown you could easily perform by day steal by night. A quick scarper off and let some none the wiser good natured sap with a red nose feel the full brunt of any criminal investigations. I suspect it happened all the time. A passionate love affair amongst performers. I mean even working in an office or coffee shop, casual relationships, can spring up over time or in the heat of the moment, into something shall we say more intimate. Imagine then the roaring flames of emotion, interaction, and seduction that lick at the canvas walls of circus tents. It is said the shadows of lust burn above circus troupes like flickering spirits of fire. It would be easy in such places, for one performer to fall for another. Perhaps a clown might become attracted to another performers girlfriend or better yet the ringmasters wife.
Day after day, the two of them sharing the same space, breathing together eating together, sleeping, apart but dreaming such sweet hot sweaty dreams. Soon they rehearse a dance together. Alone, touching each other’s bodies and eventually they end up. Well you never know just the right amount of rage and clever application of make up from a jealous husband could see, the wife’s body hacked into pieces, and her innocent handcuffed lover packed off to jail. Two bird’s one sponge.
Maybe all clowns are conman, thieves and criminals. I never really gave clowns too much thought. Until I found out about their faces. If every clown has to have a unique face, then a record has to be kept somewhere of each clown’s particular make-up. If you thought like I did, that this would simply be done by taking a photo and putting it in a album or catalogue, you’d be wrong. Each clown has their face painted onto an egg. These eggs are then kept together in the clown museum. So when a new clown decides upon their face it is checked against all the other eggs to make sure it’s different. This also means that it’s someone’s job to paint the eggs
Right now, the task falls upon a lady who lives by the sea. It was the previous painter, I was more interested in. Especially as in 1965 the entire collection of eggs went missing. Missing! I couldn’t believe it when told. So I didn’t. Especially as no-one seemed to be to clear on what happened. How did the eggs go missing?
I began asking around at various clowning events. I started going to circuses, and before long I was cornering clowns after they finished uni-cycling or swallowing swords in town squares. I even attended one or two children’s parties, posing as an uncle or older brother, which was easy enough if I kept my mouth shut and just hung round at the back until the end of the performance. It was at one of these shows, after Magic Mickey, had packed up his balloons, feather dusters, juggling balls, and other pieces of apparatus, and I confronted him, to ask about the missing eggs, when I twigged. Something didn’t add up. From what I had pieced together from all the other clowns that I had spoken too, the running theme was that the eggs went missing when they were being kept in a restaurant. At first I thought the clowns where pulling my leg. The more I hung out with them, the more I realised that clowns were a funny bunch. I don’t mean funny ha ha, I mean funny weird. Although I’m not sure whether I mean weird in a good way. They all have similar traits, its like there looking at the world through a fish eye lens. Talking to them sometimes I feel like they’ve all found out about the secret of how to turn water into wine, sunlight into gold. Except there’s no way their about to share that information with just anybody. Unless of course their another clown. So it would be just like them to try a joke about eggs being kept in a restaurant.
Was jesus invented by a clown...

Water colours and Ink.
Water colours and Ink
Inside a old wooden shed, at the back of a garden, an elderly man with curly white hair and matching white beard, sat on a stool in front of a large, flat desk.
On top of the desk were little pots of paint in almost every colour. An assortment of brushes, most of them small with thin bristles were kept together in a glass jam jar beside the paint pots. A tall clear glass of water stood elegantly between the paint pots and brushes. There was also an egg. A chicken's egg.
The man stared at the chicken egg. It was blank, white, Faceless. Perfect. He began, first by picking up one of the brushes and dipping its end into a pot of red paint. Onto the egg with the brush he painted a bright red nose. Then dip, went his brush into the glass of water. He swished it about a bit to make it clean. Then dried it on his painting trousers. Next the brush went into a pot of blue paint, and with it the man deftly painted two blue eyes, above the bright red nose on the egg. The brush dipped in and out more of the open pots of paint, their heady scent combining to swarm the shed in a wafting perfume not unlike petrol. Whilst together the man and the brush painted more and more details onto the egg. A giant white mouth, with a red smile, dark black eyeliner around the eyes, massive eyebrows, a purple tear under the left eye. The man even took out of one of the desk draws some glue and a piece of black felt, which he stuck on top of the egg, to give it a rather fetching mop of black hair.
There was something else on the desk. A photograph. The man who painted the egg now looked at the photo. It showed the face of a young man wearing full clown make-up. This was the young man’s very own make-up...

Whos going to be next
to walk down the steps
theres two empty chairs
at the table
dreamingly waiting in the sun
another sip of black and white
on cherry lips
one pair came down
missed them
thanks to a hat
made from straw
the saxophone plays
"no worries, they weren't for you or me"
wandering eyes caught by waitresses with trays
missed another group of four
wondering whats up the stairs?
why not take a left at the lamppost and see
or close both eyes
as smiles sit below the steps
behind the sea singing
in front of
brightons music hall

Washing suns to brightness
i can only talk my way
cant you hear young girls singing
how lobsters flirt and play
blushing sun in brighton
lonely talk to my blue day
hope you hear the song bird singing
as mountains wash away
walking sands through darkness
dont make me talk, weight
listen to young ones singing
how upstarts flirt and play
watching surfs of brighton
let me talk in wise lanes
cant you hear the young boy's drowning
as the sirens float away

The monkeys cut out letters
Froggy goes pop whistle pop
The lobster boils, tea
The penguins stick together
and after breakfast

Bees
One in a valley
and everybody loves him
still they dont want to know him
cause his eyes are so down
and the lights in his mind
make the moths all fall out
but they need what he says
and they feel what he plays
even in the dark
they find
the truth is better
from lips that dance
to the sky
rain drops
rising
from puddle
spirals
all about ground
and the moths will keep on floating
till they find their wishes
back inside the cup
watch them fly towards the light
so many dreamers
just for you
sending star storms
to pop at night
above your house
they shine so bright
all your dreams will come true
all your dreams will come true
then they turn like lamps alive
sharpen breath
wen can find ourselfs again
time never lost
i will see you on the moon
i will see you on the moon

Lioness id like to buy some supplies we can head into the sun slip into the cracks slide down the tide to the tunnels of white cloud smoking in the sky till we fall into the golden brown waves what we looking for is life a leak on the river
light floating down stream to the sea
i was born in the rain
like a forest of trees dancing
waiting for the aching veins beneath my skin
to find a way back
to where i belong
inside your Amazon arms
away from harm
the centre of the storm
two worlds joined
to make a universe reborn
centre out of control
we stand in deep
on lines in the sand
we are forming
foam tastes in the moonlight
cant you speak
look into my eyes and see
i cant hide

Pill.
Pill
I am a weightless voice
without size
when pain becomes pain
it will be easy
just light leafs
a gently blowing never know which way there going
now we can see
the patterns that they hide
brave jaguar
leaping through
electric city
moving in and out
of doors
proud as any star
that shines
voices in the dark
shadows of past
present future
space and time
fall in
onto a candle
with lots of ghosts
triangles, circles and squares
when the needle breaks
your skin
the tricks to remember
there is no spoon
at least not where lemons
turn to water
hear the sink
is like
an ocean
see the matrix
is a little window
black swan white swan
really there is
no spoon

This is movement like waves cross
surf upon the sea
a light a ship a land
not deep
shallow with the falls
niagrara plucks as
sirens call
shelter
shelter
from the storm
to the new world
not yet reborn
falling in a barrel
of dreams
that loves the air
the forest keeps
the pockets
of space
within our sleep
where time no longer
seems to tread
or steal
today
stops
just for a second
far away
a light shone
from the plane
frozen in the sky
when the colour changed
starlight to silver grey
the planets moved
in line
and broke the spell
for just one day
to be so kind
some kind of other life
in the never world
as bright suns
spin into the dark of night
curtain lids
close on eyes
and vision opens
onto a stage
wrapped up lit
and ready to smoke
burning
a way
to lucidity...
and then we fly
This is movement like waves cross
surf upon the sea
a light a ship a land
not deep
shallow with the falls
niagrara plucks as
sirens call
shelter
shelter
from the storm
to the new world
not yet reborn
falling in a barrel
of dreams
that loves the air
the forest keeps
the pockets
of space
within our sleep
where time no longer
seems to tread
or steal
today
stops
just for a second
far away
a light shone
from the plane
frozen in the sky
when the colour changed
starlight to silver grey
the planets moved
in line
and broke the spell
for just one day
to be so kind
some kind of other life
in the never world
as bright suns
spin into the dark of night
curtain lids
close on eyes
and vision opens
onto a stage
wrapped up lit
and ready to smoke
burning
a way
to lucidity...
and then we fly

Cut.
Cut
Darker on blood
stranger than a train
this life slide
a shelter for the stars
your coming home again
and home is far away
home is a far away
easy telling what you got
you sold me stories
for revival
stories for revival
stories for revival
ive gone
this sun is turning
into something else
in low is new lost
the sea
is coming to the world
ever dreamt of darkness
ever dreamt of darkness
for your girl
Darker on blood

and home is far away

Wings of a dove.
Wings of a dove
All alone at the bottom of the pile
second class
i got no style
nervous
i lack purpose
its like i want to move
but i wait for you to go first
Its too quiet
i cant hear
my situtation
i want to know
when you kiss yourself
because ive got lips that
can take you somewhere else
eat in when your crying
kiss of life
which would you prefer
for me to tell the truth
or for my mind to start lieing
lier gets what he wants
doesnt pay a price
his morals are crossed
like silver
pieces of hurt
selling bodies out
four deserts in the earth
pepsi when they dont have coke
look around its all a big joke
pick up the pill
yellow or blue
do they make you tired
or do they make you feel good
cripled by hunger cripled by disease
im a thief of the sun
and a jewel of the leaf
stuck in a tough time
i can make it work
dont give up on life
based your actions on looks
more fool you your going get hooked
what is it your going to do
i dont have a future
so everything is new
are you here to abandon me
sprinkle dust from the urn
all over the sea
white hair
meets hair of black
you got no prospects
when your locked
in a sack
its not your fault
if your born to lose
good luck
finding something
out there for you
please wait
the teller
tells you what to do
the system is down
so now you get to choose
lier or will you tell the truth
you said what wasnt
and invented something new
my name is doug
how do you do
i used to be mark
congratulations this ones true
new world
to the manipulator
creator
changer
its not as easy as you think
sitting at the bar
have yourself another drink
money the casino never wins
when you look over there
im going to move my chips
funny how lies can work the earth
spinning like a spider
catching all the hurt
dreaming wishes
on the ceiling
things have changed
how about another date
ill pick you up tomorow
a round about eight
i got the gift
now i can write
going take back my job
and stand up for the fight
its the greatest movie ever made
a ninja army crashing into babylon
all the way from outer space
a naked mutant wedding
far away on mars
a kiss
a mind warp
the black plague
up in the stars
my dad was a burgular a thief like me
except he had to tell the truth
so they threw away the key
locked up alone in a cell
a bucket of holes
in a world full of wells
death beeps inside the room
going to see your friends again
dont know if thats the truth
well i wanted to
run a kite
like the wind
just one more night
in the hours
when were free
you know
that im still
in love with you
wherever you may be
its not a world of nothing that waits for you
its a world of dreams
that never ends
sleeping lions
so many candle lights
tell me what happens when you die
major tom he puts his helmet on and lights up in the sky
a blue planet that likes to shine
like the sun is in your mind
theres no black hole that you cant wipe out
fluffy dice
i remember it was nice
it was nice
look beyond
see the world
you all have
most amazing lifes
what is it that you want
my angel
ignorance
to be your angel gabriel
your my best friend
dirty word
one angel to another says,
i love you

A banana skin is like a pancake
cutest thing i ever did meet
marks of tiger
marks of leopard
cosy white slice
glazing over crumpled

like a car crash
head on collision
arm out on the road
touch me
touch me
somethings are better left to lie
skin dragon
freckle sea
black and yellow

Little oven in the earth

rescued from the mountain
field of poppies

building bricks upon the laughing sea

theres a stone preacher swaying
say life is living
the weight of roses glowing
talk about
being happy
field of poppies
raisin up

tell me about the washing storm
when raiders cut
and rivers blow
break down trouble
through the hurt
little oven in the earth
make food taste good
for you and me

of living free
take a taste
coming up not down
soothe day light a lovely sound
little ovens in the earth

Shitester.
Shitester
A gypsy dances on the sleet, the rain splashes on the cobble stones
Fire burns beside the road
in a carriage with bars guns are clicked
bullets into chambers
a runner
fast sprints
as the crow flies
to saint pauls
drop leap roll
break open the door and enter
the stairwell
planed attack
skin meld
pain of bear yawn
lantern spin
smash
hat
fleet feet run to the spiral star
white hot beauty
legs akimbo
virgin bride
snake tooth
parsel tongue
inside the flame
lick her lick her
into writhing ectasy
pussy rubbing knotted rope
moaning doctor
hats off
all day
to the floor
down
hand grips knife
blast crushes ears
ring
horn of goat
twitchy legs
gone
the detective is here
String of glass cut finger nails pane of life
the girl is worth more than the lord
time of death
To london
where the bells chime
handsome lamp lights
the sun shines on bricks
as the sound of gunfire
makes men fall weak at the knees
The hudson river
flies like a golden eagle
the patterns on the wall
gunpowder and smoke
bullet holes
that conjur
sound into silence
a whistling kettle
sits on the fire wood
drewn curtains
sunlight bites
like a vampire
sweeping away the dark

String of glass cut finger nails pane of life

To london
where the bells chime
handsome lamp lights
the sun shines on bricks

makes men fall weak at the knees
The hudson river
flies like a golden eagle
the patterns on the wall
gunpowder and smoke
bullet holes

a whistling kettle

drewn curtains

A Star bird.
A Star bird
A coconut stands
a slice of flesh
with two
dark orange legs
a feathery white island
black circle
surrounded by gold
with yellow beak
brighter than Olympic medal
A peace crane stands
in front of a bull
a bull
big bull
with no face
or crane face
its a bubble in a dream
painted with colour
spiky sharp green grass
reaches for the crane
in front
of the
bull
paws
thick like a puddle
full of petrol
purple rainbows
green the bull is
a muddy silhouette
a sheep a human
with horns
is a puddle a bubble within a dream?
I blink
and realise
its a beautiful painting
in a book
A crane stands on the back of a bull
which is
stomping
through the
tall grass
if we could speak
you the crane, the bull, the sheep, the book
the grass and I,
to the dancing weather would we say
we are not dreams of bubbles, puddles
or paintings
each of us is real here
one in a Caribbean dozen
so don't close your eyes
even when you blink
keep looking.

There was a time when the cat was amongst the pidgeons.
Chitter chatter
the bread with holes
baguetted tunnels
of meditation
the pidgeon pecks
then as sudden
as magic smoke
they are gone
flown
all that is
left
white stumps on
the slab
the uneaten bread
a plastic blue bag
rustle
then away
in the wind
we fly.
Follow the bike.

Sparkling stars on your head band

alas poor yorrick
never got to read a line
yawning in the catholic school
stuffing crackers in the bag
glossy peckish leather
his massive galaxy a sonnet
the biscuit on the phone
clothes on the table
writing with
a phoenix feather
yorricks older than your
red and blue carribean
bandana
the apple on your soul
hes been held by so many hands
seen by many eyes
roughed edges
the latest four laugh at coughs
golden wonders
keep transforming
snacks
ten pence crisps

Here in the cafe
secrets of the world
hidden throughout the earth
locked away
by the high classes
away
hard
yet those who seek
learning the tongues of men
will find
the keys to truth
the smell of coffee
awakening
the till speaks
as music plays
people need to eat
step inside from the rain
Underneath four our heads
the spinning proppelor on the ceiling
across the road short change
arabs are cousins to the jews
mysteries of spain
security
priceless artifacts
send out the children of socrates
the truth i can taste
life in the tea
and see inside
the spotted jaguar salt
and finally black
the cross turning round and round
in the face of a shiny spoon
will it spin forever
or do i have to leave
spinning black
a cross
for is such
a soothing
sight to
gaze into
it zaps me calm
like i have been struck
clean
with peace
right between

How gorgeous you are
ive fallen in
with time
at the British Museum
i want this feeling to stay
never thinking, never planning,
never-where
love sleep skipping
inside these great comforting walls
my blanket is spread
the exibits cool all false aspirations
stroking my life
like a fingernail
brushing the back of my neck
here i am
this is my world
my galaxy
surrounded all around by stars
my very own milky way
the only sound that disturbs
the perfect silence of space
is the faint note of hope
dreaming
ever we go
outside these walls
shall feel...

Om Backwards
On a little island
with a hundred eyes of purple
the forest people grow
they celebrate
in shanty towns
of green
turning the handles of gramophones
created in outer space
hidden beneath the leafs
stripy jumper wool cardigan arms
softly turning the handles
at the bottom of plant like stems
round and round
sweet twang
the purple eyes blossom
greeting the galaxy
with the forest people sound
can we imagine what that first sound was
that popped out of the very first
forest peoples purple flower eyes
was that where earth language came from
sound flying waves
i wonder what they cried
om, om, om,
moo, moo, moo,
hello, hello, hello,
shine, shine, shine

Red Eye
Across the stepping stones in the hills of the sun flowers kissed by the sun
is where the deadly kahoona grow
not deadly in sense of nightshade
to touch shy
they are deadly in perfurme which will fog your mind and
grip your very being with such certainity that reflected in a mirror
for ever will be a sparkle too your eyes silver more so than any
singing sword
thorns strong
enough to stitch hammocks for the children of the stars

Game Over.
Game Over
All it ever was
was make believe
the pages of history
just a dream
half a year
of sweet disease
a ying yang sign
from dark to light
black to blonde
cant you see
i dont even know
if happiness waits for me
or if i am alone
its strange
like the grass is greener
on the other side
are we talking about breaking through
the line
razorlight
cutters choice in the park
so many voices
stand up tall
shadows of your destiny
a cloak of bat wings
stiched by cats
whiskers of the stars
you thought it was fate
i wish that were true
can i close my eyes
stop searching
find me
crossed beneath the sky
now i wander
is my world
above or below
or somewhere
on the mirror edge
will i be forever
awake
jagged electric finger city
or burn myself numb
blue fire
good life
nurse myself
back to health
your arms
half a slice
of ying yang sign
slip me into coma
now im a dozing puppy
if only i could figure
which was better
if life endlessly remains like this
what are you waiting for
i read writing on the wall
of mountains high in the clouds
about ying named never sleep
yang named never wake
dancing with the sun and the moon
two pure snowballs
white as dr martens
blankwash rain
silent running
my mind is still
unsure
find me
before i slip
into coma
you exist
to close my eyes

Bussey Building.
Bussey Building
The lights went off
inside the pyramid was a girl sitting on a bench, she had been crying and tears ran down her face
like the shifting sands that had fallen before to craft mountains in the dust trapped between the glass i became crafted into something new
i was human again
even if i wasnt awake
and i could walk
i put my hand in my pocket and felt coins there
i clenched my fist capturing them then took my hand from my pocket
i opened my palm
and sat upon it
nestled between four coins, a large two pound piece, and three coins of silver a ten pence and two fives, this made two pound twenty, which was the exact amount to buy a single ticket for a bus in london,
london
the lights went on
i was in london
the pyramid had gone
and in its place was waterloo station
the girl who was crying sat on a bench outside
she had a large bag of luggage with her
i walked past
and didnt say a word
then i started thinking in my head
go back and ask if shes alright
maybe shed like a ciggeratte
i noticed a champagne flute standing upright on the side of the road
it still had some drink in it
and next to the flute
was a tall glass bottle
that was half full
maybe i could take this bottle back to the girl
she might be in need of a drink
so i turned back
i had to
if there was some way in which i could help and i passed that opportnity by
surely i would be a lesser man
i left the bottle and the champagne glass where they were
and went back to the girl
who sat looking dejected and upset,
hey are you ok, i saw you were crying and wondered if your alright
would you like a ciggerette
the girl raised her sad face to mine
and replied
that she had just lost her passport and her bag which contained all her ciggerettes, so she really would like a smoke
it was the least i could do
we spent a little time chatting
then i told her that there was a 24 hour cafe nearby
and also about the bottle of drink
the lights went on
waterloo wavered
the whole world became fuzzy and warm
as the station dissaparated into the background
i found myself at a bustop
where i was greeted by an old lady with a yellow duck round her neck like an old friend
i was thinking about the pyramid
when the lady asked me where i had come from
waterloo i replied
then a white haired old lady with no teeth in her mouth that appeared from nowhere
shouted out - ive come from the moon
or at least thats what i thought she said
what did you say asked her friend the duck lady
i thought in my head she said ive just come from the moon
but remained silent,
ive just come from the moon,
i thought you said that
but niether of the ladies listend
they just laughed and luaghed about the moon for ten minutes or so
the lights went off
wet
i was back in the water
the pyramid spilled out and its shape changed to a perfect triangle
i watched it intensly
it was like we were joined somehow symbiotically
as it moved through the water it was almost as if it were dancing
and my head started to sway to and through to the traingles rythmn
in disbelief i watched
as the strands of white
turned from a triangle into a perfect square
sluicning through the water the strange dance continued
then the corners of the square folded in on themselfs
outwardly turning and getting bigger
the lines bent and bent until
in front of me in the water was a pure circle
i had never seen shapes behave in this way before
and i felt enlightened
that i know knew how to turn a triangle into a square and then into a circle
there was only one thing i could do and that was swim torwards
the round form in front of me
closer and closer i got to the circle
until i went right through it
and burst out on the other side it was exactly
like diving headfirst trhough a mirror in a dream
to become lucid on the other side and waking up
with open eyes i stared directly into the face of time...
we played a trick
there were two ways go
we all hid
and waited
and then when he came
we pretended we were going one way then went another
i was flying
it had taken a while to learn
i remember being a baby
something had happened
something bad
there was reason to feel like this
what came before
in germany
the family was so happy
delighted with their curly haired cherubic angel
as we curled up togethor on the floor
i was sure
it was only i that knew he was going die
in the most horrofic way
blood
i couldnt figure out
which one of was the bad child
was it me or him
which one of was going to grow the sharp teeth
and begin to bite the hand that feeds
floating we all float thats what i remebered in a dream
i wasnt a part of this family this family was not mine
it all belonged to that other boy
and even though i imagined what it would be like to grow sharpy point teeth
then bite down through a finger tearing of skin before chomping through bone
and crunch snap the finger would splurt out its gorgeous load with no more resitance than if i were biting a carrot i knew that i was the one who was going to die
i had to hide
but i wasnt doing it so well
i kept thinking i would be caught
i had jumped into the top of a hedge
and hung there amdist
giant orbs of yellow blossom
my brothers face had become disfigured over the years
he now went round in nothing but a robe of black
his skin transculescent and grey
and his mouth more like the many barbed mouth
of a deep sea creature than of a human being
the cupboard was empty
no-one was there
but i heard the voices
when i sat on the chair
a hundred old people
that know where to run
a bus on the table
shoots for the moon
trees are like water
dust from your lips
your white hair is perfect
like light from the sun
the cupboard was empty
no one was there
but i heard the voices
of moving people
they wait
and when i say i am here
there is nothing to fear
it makes me cry
because i cant go through
the wall
i try
but i cant tell you
this sacrifice
i am caught
between illness
and dreams
the ghost forest
of silence and darkness
in this other world
im alone
so i sleep
on the wooden floor
leave me
shut the door
now your in hell
wondering what to do
i awake
and touch your hair
now you understand
but you mustnt tell
the secret you found
in my diary
there is no cure
my heart is yours
this insanity is the theme
thank the stars
for a simple world
three words
i love you
yet i cannot do anything
as you become ravaged by disease
twice ive tried to commit suicide
once by returning to the sea
again by overdosing
on sleeping pills
this madness will smother
us all
through a glass
darkly
the stars shine so bright, its a gorgeous night that makes me think has anyone ever got drunk on the stars, head peeling from paint spiraling up nostrils, i can see flashes of colour that leap and play in the sky and make me feel like im swimming through the air just like im dreaming in my sleep.
Now im on a tube travling backwards like a blood vessel in my vein, the water in my body swirls to the pull of movement, in here were blazed with light. Outside everything is pitch black for a while. Then it begins to glow under pools of gold, this is when the bricks speak to me. Calling out for me to touch them, to dance with them, and run my palms over there rough to smooth surfaces and feel each glistening piece of stone on my skin.
I cant not yet, for i am still inside the tube travling fast to who knows where. If i shut my eyes i will see excactly the same as if i kept them open. Patterns of purple and blue, little flecks of ocean lapping waves, i try to pick out the pebbles, shapes begin to form and i once again try to understand am i dead or alive. How long have i been here, am i awake. Something shifted. Its like grains of sand have been falling over and over again in between panes of glass to reproduce mountain after mountain. I touch my hand and as i watch a strangers head merge into anothers i come to the conclusion this must be a dream.
Opposite me is the biggest tongue i have ever seen, absolutely smothered in tastebuds, that look like the ______ from a game of ______.
Naked bodies some co-joined togethor writhe about all over the tongue moving the tastebuds like stones from one pot-hole to another.
I have to sit on this tongue.
I take of my t-shirt and let my bare back lean onto the salivia. Its slippery and wet. If you were to rub your thumb over your own tongue, then imagine that your tongue had mushroomed in size and that your thumb was your back, then youll feel what it felt like then, lieing back into soft watery melon fruit.
I sunk into the tongue, which tipped itself like a dentists chair. Through the naked bodies i sank. My arms and legs became coiled up in red fleshy strands of plasma and i was covered in a strange pulp that began to cling all over my body and i floated then out of the tube in a mesh of shimmering white lights. They resembled the stars in the sky i had looked up at not so long-ago.
Now i was a streak of white, and all around there were others, the tube had gone and we where in the blackness.
I could hear the breath being pushed in and out of a stomach moving up and down, and also did i imagine, the sound of some sort of bellows like machine concertining in motion. In the background where the blips and bleeps of hospital machines.
I was now in two places at once, a part of me was a star shining above a house and another part of me fell out of the sky dropping down through the sky-light window on the roof of the house to land fully clothed on top of a bed.
The sound of breathing continued. In and out. Up and down. Then my body melted, it was like taking a leak all over, as if every cell in my body was having a beautifull piss. I became a puddle, completely liquid my legs sand feet ran off the end of bed like a waterfall, and the rest of me saturated into the matress, then the bed itself began to move the other way, the breathing stopped, all was silent, and everything moved, in a long slow gentle life time, time of way until it was gone, everything was gone, and i was awake in space, beautifull space where there was no time.
I arrived to late for the end of time
yet time a good friend told me
has no end
this is the story i listened to yesterday
let me tell you her voice said
all about the meaning of space and time
listen carefully to the stars at night
when you hear them singing
look up into their eyes
remember they are spiders
sitting spinning in the sky
now you never have to ask them why
or wonder what they are
for a lions face watches over you
no matter where you go or what you do
your an angel of the stars
wen, time waits in space
for you to ask
No noise or anything. This was where i had been trying to get to all along but i never knew it in the darkness. I was free and it lasted forever. Only forever, wasnt so long and way before i wanted the darkness to leave the stars came back, it was like the whole of space had been turned upside down and in loops the stars now fell from where they had been resting on the floor which now became ceiling.
It was strange because when my body melted it was as if i was nothing, no form shape density or feeling, even so this being the fist time where i truly had no existence it felt like the first time that i had ever existed and now as space flipped back on itself and the stars began to rain down oblitarating the darkness i once again took the form of a star.
I travelled faster and faster, here was no wind or rush, it was perpetual motion in free fall, i just got faster and faster, with no end to the increasing speed or the journey, it was alarming, but what could i do except lie back and enjoy the ride. At one point i thought the speed that the speed would reach a point where something would surely break, system malfunction. I heard a strange disgarbulated noise that i associate with serious computer error, a glitch in the matrix, a stitch in time, a wink.
Wet. We the stars landed in a pool of water. All of us formed shapes, first there was a snake that swam in zig zags this way and that before eating its own tail each bite produced more and more mess poison blood and guts spurted out of the snakes body into the water and formed globby tendrils, like the whisps of a poached egg, that came togethor beneath the surface of the water to make a pyramid.
The lights went out.
i was travling backwards in a tube for real the first thing music came back to me, was the music in a rush, songs pieced themselfs togethor out of nothing and entered into my head, long forgotten words poured ontop of each other, so many, far to many to count with each passing second, like a calediscope, swishing forth spectral rays of light spinning into each other like bone flying away with paper planes jig jagged then all done up as if id been sunken in a wallow of hooch, my arm pit was a hollow and my skin began to draw tight. All i needed was the candle night to lick just one lick on the back of a spoon to boil away to boil the rocks away into churches perfurme, my bodies free im released a junkie criminal. I could mend my broken heart pieces which had been torn apart in shock ripped to shreds by hands that i thought would always be there to keep me safe and warm
i was wrong and as i drifted into the floor boards, with the veins on my arms, turning into rivers, i could see where all the parts of my heart like ash from a funeral urn had been scattered and with a needle and thread i began to stictch them back togethor,
Time wore a white dress covered in tiny little red roses
She ran out of the door into the street at night, skipping over the white lines her lips were red like the roses of her dress.
Time ran on through on the night, until she came to a hill, and kept on running all the way from top to bottom, then time stopped.
Closed her eyes and began to walk backwards.
The snatches of songs the words piling up on top of each other the pieces of my torn heart all broken like a giant explosion a star blowing up in space, its fragments hurtling out in a million different directions started to go other way, the explosion began to pull in on itself so all off the the fragments retracted in and the star and my heart were put back togethor, this is when the words of songs became clear to me,
This is my body broken for you
i travel in a tube to gain your affection
just a needle in hay
time released your chains fall
because now ive touched you
its only forever
not long at all.
The lights went off

i had jumped into the top of a hedge
and hung there amdist
giant orbs of yellow blossom
my brothers face had become disfigured over the years
he now went round in nothing but a robe of black
his skin transculescent and grey
and his mouth more like the many barbed mouth
of a deep sea creature than of a human being
the cupboard was empty
no-one was there
but i heard the voices
when i sat on the chair
a hundred old people
that know where to run
a bus on the table
shoots for the moon
trees are like water
dust from your lips
your white hair is perfect
like light from the sun
the cupboard was empty
no one was there
but i heard the voices
of moving people
they wait
and when i say i am here
there is nothing to fear
it makes me cry
because i cant go through
the wall
i try
but i cant tell you
this sacrifice
i am caught
between illness
and dreams
the ghost forest
of silence and darkness
in this other world
im alone
so i sleep
on the wooden floor
leave me
shut the door
now your in hell
wondering what to do
i awake
and touch your hair
now you understand
but you mustnt tell
the secret you found
in my diary
there is no cure
my heart is yours
this insanity is the theme
thank the stars
for a simple world
three words
i love you
yet i cannot do anything
as you become ravaged by disease
twice ive tried to commit suicide
once by returning to the sea
again by overdosing
on sleeping pills
this madness will smother
us all
through a glass
darkly
the stars shine so bright, its a gorgeous night that makes me think has anyone ever got drunk on the stars, head peeling from paint spiraling up nostrils, i can see flashes of colour that leap and play in the sky and make me feel like im swimming through the air just like im dreaming in my sleep.
Now im on a tube travling backwards like a blood vessel in my vein, the water in my body swirls to the pull of movement, in here were blazed with light. Outside everything is pitch black for a while. Then it begins to glow under pools of gold, this is when the bricks speak to me. Calling out for me to touch them, to dance with them, and run my palms over there rough to smooth surfaces and feel each glistening piece of stone on my skin.
I cant not yet, for i am still inside the tube travling fast to who knows where. If i shut my eyes i will see excactly the same as if i kept them open. Patterns of purple and blue, little flecks of ocean lapping waves, i try to pick out the pebbles, shapes begin to form and i once again try to understand am i dead or alive. How long have i been here, am i awake. Something shifted. Its like grains of sand have been falling over and over again in between panes of glass to reproduce mountain after mountain. I touch my hand and as i watch a strangers head merge into anothers i come to the conclusion this must be a dream.
Opposite me is the biggest tongue i have ever seen, absolutely smothered in tastebuds, that look like the ______ from a game of ______.
Naked bodies some co-joined togethor writhe about all over the tongue moving the tastebuds like stones from one pot-hole to another.
I have to sit on this tongue.
I take of my t-shirt and let my bare back lean onto the salivia. Its slippery and wet. If you were to rub your thumb over your own tongue, then imagine that your tongue had mushroomed in size and that your thumb was your back, then youll feel what it felt like then, lieing back into soft watery melon fruit.
I sunk into the tongue, which tipped itself like a dentists chair. Through the naked bodies i sank. My arms and legs became coiled up in red fleshy strands of plasma and i was covered in a strange pulp that began to cling all over my body and i floated then out of the tube in a mesh of shimmering white lights. They resembled the stars in the sky i had looked up at not so long-ago.
Now i was a streak of white, and all around there were others, the tube had gone and we where in the blackness.
I could hear the breath being pushed in and out of a stomach moving up and down, and also did i imagine, the sound of some sort of bellows like machine concertining in motion. In the background where the blips and bleeps of hospital machines.
I was now in two places at once, a part of me was a star shining above a house and another part of me fell out of the sky dropping down through the sky-light window on the roof of the house to land fully clothed on top of a bed.
The sound of breathing continued. In and out. Up and down. Then my body melted, it was like taking a leak all over, as if every cell in my body was having a beautifull piss. I became a puddle, completely liquid my legs sand feet ran off the end of bed like a waterfall, and the rest of me saturated into the matress, then the bed itself began to move the other way, the breathing stopped, all was silent, and everything moved, in a long slow gentle life time, time of way until it was gone, everything was gone, and i was awake in space, beautifull space where there was no time.
I arrived to late for the end of time
yet time a good friend told me
has no end
this is the story i listened to yesterday
let me tell you her voice said
all about the meaning of space and time
listen carefully to the stars at night
when you hear them singing
look up into their eyes
remember they are spiders
sitting spinning in the sky
now you never have to ask them why
or wonder what they are
for a lions face watches over you
no matter where you go or what you do
your an angel of the stars
wen, time waits in space
for you to ask
No noise or anything. This was where i had been trying to get to all along but i never knew it in the darkness. I was free and it lasted forever. Only forever, wasnt so long and way before i wanted the darkness to leave the stars came back, it was like the whole of space had been turned upside down and in loops the stars now fell from where they had been resting on the floor which now became ceiling.
It was strange because when my body melted it was as if i was nothing, no form shape density or feeling, even so this being the fist time where i truly had no existence it felt like the first time that i had ever existed and now as space flipped back on itself and the stars began to rain down oblitarating the darkness i once again took the form of a star.
I travelled faster and faster, here was no wind or rush, it was perpetual motion in free fall, i just got faster and faster, with no end to the increasing speed or the journey, it was alarming, but what could i do except lie back and enjoy the ride. At one point i thought the speed that the speed would reach a point where something would surely break, system malfunction. I heard a strange disgarbulated noise that i associate with serious computer error, a glitch in the matrix, a stitch in time, a wink.
Wet. We the stars landed in a pool of water. All of us formed shapes, first there was a snake that swam in zig zags this way and that before eating its own tail each bite produced more and more mess poison blood and guts spurted out of the snakes body into the water and formed globby tendrils, like the whisps of a poached egg, that came togethor beneath the surface of the water to make a pyramid.
The lights went out.
i was travling backwards in a tube for real the first thing music came back to me, was the music in a rush, songs pieced themselfs togethor out of nothing and entered into my head, long forgotten words poured ontop of each other, so many, far to many to count with each passing second, like a calediscope, swishing forth spectral rays of light spinning into each other like bone flying away with paper planes jig jagged then all done up as if id been sunken in a wallow of hooch, my arm pit was a hollow and my skin began to draw tight. All i needed was the candle night to lick just one lick on the back of a spoon to boil away to boil the rocks away into churches perfurme, my bodies free im released a junkie criminal. I could mend my broken heart pieces which had been torn apart in shock ripped to shreds by hands that i thought would always be there to keep me safe and warm
i was wrong and as i drifted into the floor boards, with the veins on my arms, turning into rivers, i could see where all the parts of my heart like ash from a funeral urn had been scattered and with a needle and thread i began to stictch them back togethor,
Time wore a white dress covered in tiny little red roses
She ran out of the door into the street at night, skipping over the white lines her lips were red like the roses of her dress.
Time ran on through on the night, until she came to a hill, and kept on running all the way from top to bottom, then time stopped.
Closed her eyes and began to walk backwards.
The snatches of songs the words piling up on top of each other the pieces of my torn heart all broken like a giant explosion a star blowing up in space, its fragments hurtling out in a million different directions started to go other way, the explosion began to pull in on itself so all off the the fragments retracted in and the star and my heart were put back togethor, this is when the words of songs became clear to me,
This is my body broken for you
i travel in a tube to gain your affection
just a needle in hay
time released your chains fall
because now ive touched you
its only forever
not long at all.
Back to Front.
Back to Front
Dont leave this love till the hand breaks out
for spoons tonight
sing to the stars
as my girl falls down
as my girl falls down
your holding in love
Some geezer its a strange lot
reckless and coiled when you
throw your sins into the lamp
ready again, five toes
from brazil shoe laces
to die for lips
that suck at straw noses
that pitch strikes
quitest day
im halfway dead with not long to go
and your silent again
such a strange wild
unsettled stream
unwind a kind of sated love
moving with clips through the scene
footprints in the glass
the trails wipe hair brushes
that turn into smoke
below the waving pool of eyes
devil stripes run with guitars
the orange streets of misery
destiny calls your name puck
could be so much more
tongue flapping instead of quite
in sleep the light of the celiling
a candle turning back
from the scanner glass
a class renewed into what ive been
before youve seen ice melting
in the glass
sunlight on the water skin
begins to
in the wrong place when a face
dont fit right could even be yours
ignore the voice inside
that calls move on
there are so many other places for
you to find now is the time to
move to another seat and speak
ive been running on half gasoline
do you know what that means i

Daffy got the goat
daffy got the goat
wrote about love
and i rode about the sky
tell me
am im going to see you when i die
i thought about crying
without a hole
heaven a new place to call my home
angels wing take my bones
beside the lake of fire
where the devil grows
seed after of seed
of falling skin
under the bridge
where we sink or swim
passing in a bottle
of a ship made of clouds
your lips are white
my lips are brown
teeth that stick
bite off the rose
shoes without laces
drip on the stone
son shine like silver
son shine like like gold
picking cots in the garden
where the devil grows

Only Ever.
Only Ever
Last night i met the son of lucifer
alistair under the bridge
with three scars
near to the ground
where i was lost
in a world
of runaway
no one to listen
no one to love
well i guess you made your mind up
little girl
taking bricks out the wall
i wanted to tell you
what my life was really for
now im stuck
berried out my head
then the stars come easy
oh i float into youth
a fountain of dreams
where the sunlight frames
talk confusion into rain
so much for protection
sold my voice for gold
working for life
dont doubt
ive been walking
with all the people
that i find
beneath the sky
flying catrwheels
turn to dancing
horses
they come alive
just like your story
so many roads
so many people
peacocks feather in your eyes
i love you so much it makes me sorry
now i got to go away
just another place to hide

Castle Rock.
Castle Rock
If the sky was a bird
i would sing
If the sea was your song
I would sink
to the bottom like a stone
the sunlights on the wall
a wave thats coming home
didnt understand
your footprints in the sand
theres only one to can
shouting out dry land
sun lights on the wall
a million miles we fall
shooting stars that love to shine
like gas lights in the sky
tempt me to your throne
well never be alone
a girl inside a man
on the beach
i understand
that the sunlights on the wall
is the sun light on the wall
take me to your home
take me to your home
If the sky was a bird
i would sing
If the sea was your song
I would sink

Turn Table.
Turn Table
In the moonlight you came walking
you came talking into my ear
about the shell you found on the sea
i wanted to tell you let it be
things turn out all right youll see
but you couldnt escape from your jello sea
you where stuck tied up in a bag of glue
i was wandering lonely
getting lost in perfurme
we got to fight to the forest of gold
where people still hit with sticks and stones
rocky faces rocky road
hitchhiking planes to take me home
take another one for free
halfway there with ectasy
hiding faces hide in the rain
drunk got down got up again
carninval twirls into your mind
swimming pools of blue i dive
headfirst now im alive
can you reach so far that you reach that ride that is waiting for you on the other side
dark star sister dark star ride
movement up till the end of time
time has no end for times alive
yet to begin is a nervous sign
doesnt matter how long you climb
or even if you makue the top
memories of trees being trees
rocks being rocks
can you take the weight of every spinning plate
pinball dreams cut a let play
i could sip a line
the fear a hide
driving in the rain
youll be my goddess tonight
tearing shoes fit right
love likes come and go
fortune
hides and waits to find you
heady fears drop on the road
your skin
places where we run away
take me to your heart
i cant win
break through the window
no i cant breathe

Tie Her.
Tie Her
Folding to the beat
the sun is going weep
when you lie like a tiger in grass
we can bring string
to fold you in dreams of blue
mind goes rushing up to the sky
where theres a ghost waiting for you
to come home
halo above your smiling eyes
i cant sleep but i dont mind
when we rise above the light
theres nothing left to do
might aswell sit on the street with you
i cant turn back the lines
that broke yesterday
so i wash away
gently burn beneath the fields of rye
orange stripes with spots of white

The train is moving oh so slow dont give it up now get with the flow
you take a taste just won four three
moving up in harmony
when you stuck in thirst
better get a drink
standing on quick sand do not sink
stars shoot for your smiles and winks
i close my eyes and dream for you
because you are the one that makes this life rude
so far so good
to mix the movement in style
fold it up along long the vine
wipe the paste paste paste up the wall shine
freedom in mountain
freedom in the mile
we are the thought lost soul
we are the thought lost soul
leven bread and leven gold
telly on the port
going rock it home

Beep beep.
Beep beep
send me to the sleep
of a thousand years
where i
dont need to live
and dont need to fear
i was on the run
then i found my home
but now its gone away
i need to escape
i need
so i leap into the fire
hope it burns real fast
because the shadows on the water
are a moment from the past
i break down inside
didnt me to make you cry
baby
i dont want to die again
i down want to die
theres no reason why
i should run away
i guess
i culd be happy
if only i try
next time
i will be good to you
i wouldnt hurt you
or cut you
or distance my body
because here is safe
so near is safe
awash in love
touching up my eyes
sun lit water
soft as a feather
floating in the air
footsteps looking over shoulders
drunk sober
on the colours in your hair
and the smoke from the bath tub
floats
to touch just once
upon the mirror in the glass
send me to the sleep
of a thousand years
where i
dont need to live
