FROM ELIAH'S CHEST COMES A NOISE LIKE A CHAINSAW

OI over here!

Bring the cold water

This man is a hot head

His eyes are baked eggs

He has a scar like a bacon rasher

From banging his head

On the grey roof

Several times a year


He keeps on shaking his head

In fits of ecstasy and the opposite

So fast he’s developed a Janus face

Flecked molten spittle daubs the walls

You could try and decipher it

I wouldn’t.


He can’t seem to get a break

His line is un-

Broken

At the centre of his forest,

On the heath

The woman in him

Is bleeding a lamb

But being at the centre

The lamb does not die

But bleeds and bleeds

And the red forest soaks it up

The carnivorous red forest

Pulsates harder and faster

Like the wings of a flying ant

Accelerating toward something;

Just don’t know what

(No son, you can’t ask the woman

She would stick you twice as fast)


HEY we asked for water over here

This man is smacking his dry lips &

Those lips are curled over his teeth,

Inside that fleshy O is a black hole.

If he implodes guys,

Where do you think he’s going to go?

If he goes, we'll be going too.
