Giddy Carousel III (draft/unfinished)

 


Airbrushed minarets sacred lands

& comment is free at the 

White Nationalist Grievance Party

to stick a knife in you 

the circumference of me, 

or hilt point cursing the Cenotaph

dragged under martenside

in Oakham rain shining purple acetate

for that which blows up your wife & kids

gets buried in flowers Floodgate 

marches to be kindred 

this islands country of 

biscuit tins Cherry-Gardens

enmities against well-placed bombs 

evil tears in Angstzonen 

Lionhearts & lone halos

parvenus nouveau BlackShirts

to future militias decayed Britannia 

 ridges near Albion Gates 

pickering to see Gadarene

or Pegida drinking tea; God saves 

its Overton window poor soldiers 

& the anti-Blimps closed ranks 

off this mortised rim for you & me,

Royal British Legion Poppy Cross 

Wreath Type D & the final fatal tree 

Fusilier confits counter nisus 

& death passes to inviolate 

 estuary plant life 

yobends buried cubic grey 

for the protest movement 

to see again dinghies poached 

what Yaxley boked under its silhouette 

British speck & your Habeas Corpus

staked fireproof letterboxes ‘justice’

warped softly dead

called out sacrifice & care

scrying a buzzword tear

from its arms Identity originated here 

a council estate that God saved

Lebensborn e.V. the sun rises straight

to its own breathing payments 

Seppuku’d on Armistice Day 

& put to music 

& the language of groupthink, 

culled from the Third Way handbook

are you proud to be not dead?

& here stands the noblest 

commando in the airfield

soliloquies red pillar nativists 

pull a jingle of spurs 

& the crashing of boots at the curb

how much is enough?

how much is nothing scrubbed ?

stiffer than parade-ground disciplines

which gave life, warmth & action

a drooping mob’s rosette 

balaclavas florid screed

#WeWillNotBeReplaced 

Quisling pigs & horse wig blotched 

heroics gerrymandered white ash 

& Blood & Honour groupuscules 

a banner drop of burning poppies 

a swooning pile on my breastbone own's 

quite dwelling the world continues

daydreaming over the standing-reserve 

& what falls out? w

omen in veils, 

gathered near a well in a small village 

a thousand children

where whiteness is spectral

& the cadastre sings out 

mullah British mullah

& O woe my heated toes, 

awhile none else might meet 

lowly near merried England

to go & cheer once more at my feet.
