11. Just Common Living

We start
from here
again a
gain – yes?
[that rumbling
some beats
cheap wood
so taken
starting here

even sudden
both elites
stand it
stand it
you are
paid to
paid nothing

does fluid
& screams
a horse
everything stops
nothing new
she’s violent

why why
even say
most beautiful
y’ know?
I can’t
say – do
you? hnh?
dynamic my
fucking arse

all chicks
& piss
disordered children
abso –lutely
sharp features
smutty frag
ments out
of here

I’d like
to need
& bus
dada! really?
power of
prayer shown
& pudding

thing is
live recurring
such fun
how rich
really? yes
never forgive
we forget
the milk
Sarah never
asked for
anything – she
did, yes
she did
what sort
of comment
is this?

too much
noise – REPEAT
toomuch noise!

right then
let’s go
& then
thank you
very much
just typical
she arranged
the great
young world
she is
into around

she never
showed up!

that time
& Sarah
no idea
Dutch everything
really unkind
just talk
oh delicious
she doesn’t
see this
at all
man kennt
ein bisschen

7. A Record of a Pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Bradstow

Out of
seed out
of seed
act of
need and
sudden entry

not beautiful
but delicious

not dichotomy
but one
not one
but many

these days
the technologies
of bog
brushes can
get very
complicated indeed
more so
than anyone
ever realises

the fox
took off
the fish
were alert
the music
came loud
in bursts
we become
totally lost
as circumstances
determine us

& this
now on
this beach
here we
look look
your hands!
mummy! mummy!
for sleep
I need
a pen
a feather
broke it

[low rumblings
like mumblings
are humbling
now bumbling
and tumbling
fine scumbling
at last
least said
tickle chase

on to
then for
five now
squeeze out
the flesh
what are
you doing
down there
niggle piggling

too bad
you can’t
go on
no no
no no
yeah no
put then
that way
no more

all at
home all
at home
sings this
sad bird
the silence
the desert
how distant
