The Reddening of the Mixture. Thursday, June 29, 2006. Do Not Attempt Resuscitation. I’m busy so I’ll keep this short. You’re ugly today and in need of an obesity pill. You’ve been gorging on polls and political falls again? Thought so. They really do you no favours,. Stick to your flu jab and diet of big brother murders,. Leave questions of failed intelligence to. Those of us who smile at gay bishops. Or sneer at the sparkling sewage in the veins of planet football. That and a gob full of gold. Indiffer...

The Reddening of the Mixture. Wednesday, February 21, 2007. Tredegar ward has many gods, mantled in ancient flesh. Mouths agape, or chewing at invisible threads of fate. Making whoopee with the sandman as if it were 1923. Minds are loosened, clothes shed, and Carnival whirls in awkward. Shuffles across the medicine floor. Looking for contact in a world turned upside down,. Run aground, leaking life-force in tiny defiant winks. And bloodless wounds, haemorrhaging memory. Vast, Empty, Calm. The life can bu...

The Reddening of the Mixture. Tuesday, May 30, 2006. And Not Need Names. And Not Need Names. The earthship won’t grow from our insolvent sudoku. Its dream is low-slung, driven underground;. The heart that beats red poetry in front of you. Knows silence as a crown yet to be found,. Yet to be released into the drought-lands. To sift and polish the golden sands. Cynic eyes scorn the loss of morning. Turn their Janjaweed bitterness inside. In a smoke-gabled mansion of dis-ease,. In service to heat,. But ther...

Rubedo: August 2006

The Reddening of the Mixture. Thursday, August 31, 2006. Come up on the roof. And smoke a cigarette with me. And we’ll swap stories of thieves. And things we have lost. In a reoccupation of space. I conquered previously in time. My mind became a camera. That reframed the photograph. I took when we were there. The sky as it was. The mountain as it was. Sun a little more to the right. Because it’s later in the day). And a displacement of air to the left. The spectre of her. Let me sit in this place. Or all...
