AN AUREOLE 03:40
AN AUREOLE I was out in the pouring rain assailed on the road seen bare, suddenly — oh no under a seeking light that wheels round my pillow ruined for life a corona, an areola, an oriole, an aureole a corona, an areola, an oriole, an aureole scrape my pate with plate glass scrape my pate with plate glass if you’re sure I can’t be spared then don’t leave me hovering watching these precious gifts slough from my body revealing a corona, an areola, an oriole, an aureole a corona, an areola, an oriole, an aureole scrape my pate with plate glass scrape my pate with plate glass if I lose If I lose the few things I had don’t let me lose don’t let me lose the few things I have don’t- don’t- don’t- don’t- don’t- don’t-

HERB DRINKS PETROL a crackle of heat swung round off your feet a faggot of tansy hung with bright head aflame borne in a sack dried on a rack a fascine of rape hung with bright head aflame only succoured by moonbeams so starving most of the time that herb drinks petrol and grows and grows and grows and grows and grows and grows and grows (how much longer how much more what for?) (how much more? how much more?) one swift knock and she crumbles one harsh word and she cries she cry, cries one harsh word and she crumbles one pointed look and she cries she cries only fucked on occasion so listless, bereft and resigned that herb drinks petrol and dies (how much longer? how much more? what for?) (how much more? how much more?) the kind of face you have to fight to love the kind of body you have to give up 10 gardens a husband the river 10 gardens a husband the river 10 gardens a husband the river

TAKE FRIGHT 04:50
TAKE FRIGHT he dropped into a low-legged lunge his body was a tight-wound drum and yet even so, I thought I could be between air and snow he perched up on his ropey shins his navel rose, he dipped his chin and I wanted to hold that quivering thigh and feel it when he’d go a slap upon his arse, to get him started it always worked on me he knew that, didn’t he? somehow somehow somehow somehow I didn’t know we were through regardless regardless regardless regardless I didn’t feel it was true Now he is halfway out of view and I can’t deny I’d watch him till my lips turned blue with a kind of pride I’d squat in the frost I’d let myself get lost (lost, lost again) a wink to make me blush and then desertion it’s cold but not cruel forgivable somehow somehow somehow somehow I didn’t know we were through regardless regardless regardless regardless I didn’t feel it was true it’s fine but it’s not right it’s not right it’s not right oh take fright and go
