One moment, please...

One moment, please...

 Lost John sittin' on a railroad track
 Something's out of wack
 Blues this morning falling down like hail
 Gonna leave a greasy trail

ah waste to the mind
such potential now laid bare

'Indoctrinated dynamite. The bath full of foam overflows: the Little Prince drowns in the bathtub; the dog barks.'

Alicia Gallienne. Excerpt 10/14 from 'Red' in 'Dominants'. The other side of the dream is mine.

(Version françæ)

'Dynamite intoxiquæ. Læ bain plæn de mousse déborde : læ Petix Prinçæ se noie dans læ baignoire; læ chiæn aboie.'

Alicia Gallienne. Extrait 10/14 de 'Dominante rouge' in 'Les dominantes'. L'autre moitié dal songe m'appartient.

my bad trees

the cathedral is greedy
believing its right
gathering all the light
to illuminate itself
casting shadow all around
except its bright peaks

and there is nothing left
even at the house, no
potential for me to gather
light on crystal wafers
just to help us all
keep the burning gas below

Silver grey
The owls are in their woods
And quiet in the day
Somehow I knew
That something wonderful
Would come this way
This symphony of Curlew
On the mountain
Raised by the buzzard’s
Spiralled threat
Darkness, for a moment
And then the light of wilder music
The tumult of a clattering
And the moor is aloft
And sings
‘Away, away
And for a little while
I wonder is this heaven?
This wildest edge of music
No softness here
But fierce love
Protection.
I am carried
By the curlew
To my joy
