MANY SPLENDID SUNS

yellow                              satellite
dishes swivel round,a
     round to catch the

   sOUND

of sun                              BUZZING
over the                           SKY
             many
furry butter
                  eyes
looking over
                  green shoulders
to catch the extra
                 terrestrial bee
or butter
               fly
these many
       swarms of dande
lions
       are many splendid
suns

NO1 ON MY HATE LIST

you shit my heart i take a plunger to my brain to try to get some sense out
all thats left are your last insults
i wash my love down the drain
i hear it gurgling,hanging on
the last dregs sticking to the side
you shit my heart
when you shew me that muslim jellyfish
at the beach that day
you made sure that i got stung
i sometimes feel the sand still in my hair
but i know you blew it away with your triangular song
now your voice is all garbage cans to me
you shit my heart you know
you shit it right out.

SEASONS

the Daffs time is nearly
OVER
dande
lions
ROAR their presence
sPROUTIN
like many yellow
eyes looking in all directions
their thick fleshy
necks ragged salad
arms that I used to feed to
my hamster
he was a giant
ham
ster
powderpuff, with pink claw
like hands holding the leaf like
a prayer
i him
ROAR

he is dead now
buried in the garden
in a shoe box
just bare dust and
bone
we all end up
yet the wrinkled daffs
still hold to
get
her
in groups like old
men
