Hardwork poems

 



3.13.26 

Rose ceiling turns out 

the smallest keep

how those who own property

might despise their own possessions

xylophones or thrown out 

a first floor window

between us the coming freedoms 

dead body to speak 

openly without lithium choked 

backcourts of tenement, box

bowls light from mirrors 

rooms brighter even now

in black damp twitch 

zennor oolong scratches or

my dolmens of efficiency saving 

mullion to mullion touches both sides

window ails whatever southward

lugwormed your hearts heart of proxies

done dark mica air or eyes or

pink feldspars clear quartz time

half-meant acid nuance choiceless 

in-dangling in-work poverty  

out exit buddleia status: hedonium

snapping no literary ambition

patrons vermiculate flesh coloured 

out of bounds people 

I waywend plainsong 

careered murmurings

the body of sadism defining 

class procreation serried

slow dead from here

to Central Station  



Soft Water (i)

Wally close red stone 

tarriers in brinewet floodplain 

as if the floor was gulched by Orangeism 

thin little nags & wretched pallet crafts 

Lodge Laws collarettes curled circles 

old shoogly harebells 

& the twelfth Haberdasheries 

felled to a black flame 

the peace barrier curbside I sit

highscoring micro lots 

but barely living 

the cold fingered clyde 

chins a song for rent 

dreich, I can’t stand my own 

mind parading, fraternal drunkenness 

or cream yellow exiles 

cold storage cutcross ripples 

or worm eaten low-capabilities

people ruin of air sprangled dogrose

hippidom mizzled the remaining

comfort space towpaths

oracling childstock 

least you're clear of chrome ballast

in the eternal allotments rising

the future different shades 

of tayberries & patty pans 

all else burning rings 

of idioglossia on embroidered towels







For Mark Scott

Put out the light 

of the last crimson star 

special prayers hollowed

death is death salutogenesis 

good health on the Red Road 

its premature mortuary scenery  

in the centre The Wealth Games 

with a common signet mouth of cortisol 

here is the tree that never grew 

here is the bird that never flew

here is the bell that never rang

in region of hapless skin

burning some envoi to working patterns 

inner Maslowian pyramids 

vertical lists of failed kingships 

black boxed militant death-drive

02.13.26

 The wicked people have annexed       

The verses on the good;   

A roaring drunkard sports the text         

Teetotal Tommy should!

Thomas Hardy, The levelled Churchyard 


Here is my hatred of appearances 

aloe vera’d hands open to burning 

in the mill of city point lights 

the sacred Elysium 

there are two paths before us 

an anarchist elegy mirror stage 

or to spiraling music Krishnacore 

you decide to count 

take promises out of them

w/ Djibouti sovereign wealth fund

turning aside thoughts 

formerly localised around

heart to bilking thin 

against the light of others 

nobody wants to feel hated 

in the fear centre nerve caissoned 

bright low drone translucent people

sober with badges 

The order of Forgiveness Mimesis 

Rivalry Sacrifice LTD

in a stackrung ascended

good as fatal stanchions 

hardlined in the hollow room 

probes your speech the lift of skin 

you move through in the external world

order stands now it means 

you have left the total of forgotten blame 

to not speaking hands trough motions 

the delicate reconciliations 

of your own life & of the cancelled

welts are still people, nothing is forever 

angelica root people 

drift away from people

the shore people 

the anomalous pain

at the end of people 

01.07.26 


In their genial lives accoutrement

roses curve for them social pleasantries 

in the unlistening place & house-style 

plenary phrases permanently halfway 

round your finger so tenderly, 

instead think of paddington speights 

of stolen municipal chairs

ratiocinated cliques 

what stops hopeless loss? 

answer: the sausage class 

inside the walls of Shit & The City, 

I frighted my friends 

rolling over for something

in the teeth again,

comrade solidarity Room 101 

deregulated yourself 

into access thresholds 

wet winged dims the carousel 

since kinships defenestrate 

its common loss

your chlamydia heart 

my madrage one 

inward turning its emptier groves 

so next, dear reader its Take Time 

by Scatman John

01.01.26


Singing to dead thrushes dead 

Moorgate rains ethanol fluid

staked out the earth instead

for scatological rites of all nations 

under corporate umbrellas, 

for fleshes of welded indices 

small pillboxes of faith 

curled in ludic circles 

around my shotout mouth, 

multiple deprivations re-slicing 

a charred linnet buff

burning on NCP London clay  

bellum mouth runs around 

the deregulated Square Mile 

Roman city boundaries 

Corporation 65,000 cubic metres 

of soil taken for Bronze 

hares long-limbed more

CLC veneers this worlds 

impenetrable silveredge, 

so why be here? stiffing in the rain

swilling roseamouthed 

buried under nightstars cloudnines 

Carillon red dots I can see them 

the regeneration scheme 

burning words truest

slow curdle its light 

jack-knifed like the bend 

of a hockey stick 

brooding out bin-bags 

to sing again a greater & emptier lease 

hypertrophied apartment blocks 

occasionally sublime

'if there's a hell, I've lived to see it

the Elected Representatives,

the Common Councilmen,

the Aldermen milk-paled, 

sallow sheriffs

& Lords from Medieval guilds

stuck behind your ears 

a jasmine flower into the sand-drag 

blows the profoundest carrion 

in your city's quarter 

02.09.25


Tell me your relation to pain, and I will tell you who you are! 

Ernst Jünger, “On Pain”

Sounds like post-work 

wind-down nightlife fall out 

across emptied servant towers 

the silver eclipsed floor systems 

the ceilings voided stark ghosts 

acoustic cancelled out sleeps is it possible

bent breathing between dried up

ground below open the bowl organ 

in the archigram Falseself 

a hymn that went the way of negation 

but nothing can be eaten forever

selforganizing place-shaping 

the macro-systems continuum 

charity CEOs, civil servants 

& masterplanners what is left of music 

went into the Diaphragm Wall 

stranded call the language 

of that death acoustic as class vengeance 

antidotes midnights Liftblrs 

until you can’t wreck out your 

ferrules in the anti-citylife 

developments sunrise

in your eyes punctum 

dichroic film scratched inside 

the wet paper brain postdrome

Werkstatt ideas engine devolve 

from Stanhope PLC a field of glass, 

windswept Thomas Heatherwick's 

your mother’s bead expertise, regurgitate

seeing futuristic housing prototypes

& what has been forgotten

solid, bright concealed take my eyes out 

at the Construction Expo   

Five Angel Heads Comprise the biosphere

& how to die in it? command center

sitting on the laver eclipsed arches  

all human malevolence is planned 

orange light porphyry stone 

it’s meaningless orange light   

loggia curls quiet out 

composite social bowels 

typology bonded

in the shadow of the new Cathedral  

the paying metronauts swim  

in the highest pool in Europe  

& you eat them in the Giant Needery 

the midnight tabulation the drills, 

the controlled explosions,

the corporation in the Sanatorium 

little britain haemophilia 

& shallow end of Bullism 

I have no people 

& makes no noise

30.08.25

Kayfabe through a ream of sunlight 

the spathe of my heart Mustaqbal

deglomeration don’t say that word to me 

syringed out PV-Wind-DG-Battery 

image classification 

literature waste collection in that order  

but leave me my love 

adapted into a technical principle 

& held in the advancement of  

on the Gulf of Aqaba alive in your mouth 

under dusking trees

flood the zone with shit cinema museum roof 

official nitrate air

of fate contaminants machine translations 

infernal strategies dark pathologies   

the beautiful vistas worldsick trypophobias 

swim in the ether of its linear composition 

zenithal flight of birds 

crystalline soothed 

a giant artificial moon 

zero streets now paradised black minutes


31.08.25

In the Vanta black nights

domestication of ice & cold 

to be desired an ice palace 

all the rules of most modern architecture

glycine mir hyperstition

desiccated black snow 

nobody exists you have no choice 

the choice comes after 

Executive Order 13771

who was able to measure 

& tame frost lives forever

Vormärz Grodek Autumn Forest 

drone full of stars noon-marked 

cathedrals FTC & NIST 

dancing on glass again 

vertical community 

forged cold metals 

frozen water sub-divided 

to the point it becomes 

perfectly liquid again 

Giddy Carousel 


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 

I call it Floodgate, 

marches to be kindred 

this islands country of 

biscuit tins Cherry-Gardens

enmities against well-placed bombs 

evil tears in Angstzonen Lionhearts 

& their lone halos

the parvenus nouveau black shirts

past to future militias 

decayed Britannia Unchained 

& the ridges near Albion Gates 

O pickering to see Gadarene

or Pegida drinking tea; 

God saves its Overton window

poor soldier prostrates 

anti-Blimps closing ranks 

off this mortised rim 

for you & me, Royal British Legion 

Poppy Cross Wreath Type D 

& the final fatal tree 

Fusilier confit counter nisus 

death passes inviolate 

& estuary plant life yobends 

buried cubic grey for the protest movement 

to see again & love again 

& dinghies poached & what Yaxley broke

under its silhouette British speck

indelicate & your Habeas Corpus

staked fireproof letterboxes 

‘justice’ warped softly dead

called out sacrifice & care

a scrying buzzword tear

from its arms Identity originated here 

a council estate that God saves

Lebensborn e.V. the sun rises straight

to its own breathing payments 

Seppuku myself on Armistice Day 

put it to music & 

the language of groupthink, put it to music

culled from the Third Way handbook

put it to music 

are you proud & not dead?

see the Migs in name but 

instead Yaxleys silhouettes 

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 #WeWillNotBeReplaced , 

& horsehair wig blotched heroics 

under stars draught 

gerrymandered white ash now

around the husk perimeter, 

Blood & Honour groupuscules 

a banner drop of burning poppies 

its 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 sings out

mullah British mullah

& O my heated toes, 

low near merry Englands woes 

go & cheer once more at my feet
