DEATH CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF
PERSONNEL & DEVELOPMENT
Now on your own, they rumple thorns
& scour a mutually alienated silhouette unwrit,
humming the same heartless registrar
burning a HR bulletin hole
into miserable callused fingers
the cruellest colliery cramps payroll troll
Fuck it. as they casually seek
to remove parts inside —dry heaving— somewhere
in arm’s letter length its subsong
trembling& wisp'd over-whelming
clavichord of the Damned
suspended tic force.
Gets charred, the hand that feds
the migraine weather
use of all the partners of spendthrift
said aloud, or whispered under briar
turns in unchecked
light falls off again
sweat in the database vale
tiered waved yet buoyant,
thrift adjutant us, again
nozzle to nozzle tight
O rift a goad to go
walking to remould,
waking least lowest
most ragged & dismissed,
not your own, not yours to remove
empty lease, figure of starred& pricked eyes;
grown inwards in this weaved
perimeter all valued
load-bearing embittered care
rills abstention
such as belief is invited to a disciplinary
hearing remade to provide
medicine & or attend apprehensions,
with imbroglio-heart,
in excommunication
unity in other work;
going homeopath, doing DIY
people think misericord
reprobates in a circuit, as in raft
extends, indefinitely
you at each other
screaming in the direction of other bodies
at sunrise rhythming
if ellipsis is the only harm done
with something you can’t
of vanishing like to or as
the final ever Adult Cataclysm Tribunal
fractured light is monstrous
and invisibly-cold.
Flayed rota of me
—somewhere in arm’s letter,
a monologue sprocket docked
to goal over-lives
open the payroll or I will implode
a blow of state, or shill the very foundations
call the Honourable Artillery Company
over &over &over again
in set-tos that hold them,
still not dead
to bring the city to a halt
and to fail singularly
eat through haze
of an arms length of numbers,
on salvoWEB countersign upon countersign
with ripped-out sprigs
a livelihood of rubrics,
here the coup de grâce
gently absent from fairest oak
approved Work-Force pedants made on
the cruellest woes
or most anxious heaves
at arm’s letter, water cannot be disconnected
said Work and Pensions but merely rerouted
in shame, gently accompanying
private waste.
Doglegged as contingent, as failed urgent response
applause every security clapped away,
every induced monstrous
datableed in the throes
would tell us in touching ditch
grown apart—
a negative whole,
revenant spew ever-beckoning,
never arriving new speak
whispering effectiveness
at when we meet factotum to factotum.
Or in a damaged freedom
on this their fairway,
waterless suspended tic
yearly planner eats my meniscus
so riven in
orchestral strings come
for a strategic priority
choking snag regress
the same bloodless pinch
rite of errors in remembrance.
Your entitlement
to Occupational Sickness
is reduced to half
with efficiency closed, to tabless forward
best wishbones for your continued
recreation silts in twilight
the timeserver glinting violence you made
imperishable straitjacket the ruction you
can't exhaust the ruction
you are now meant to live
trying to as inadequately told as;
If there are any other ways
It drones out of anguish
in lines I inhibit
militia cut off the merest anode
swallowed mnemonic, rented
on webHome .cloches
the effigy of the wren
like everything I sang dead again.
