Whatever a person fears

[Multivoice]

Whatever a person fears will make suspicion. Identification is hearsay or opinion; distanced voices, identities or selves, becoming contemporary:  painful work of generous intelligence.

Assumption of historical context. Belief without fear. And it does matter what imagination is. Forever being. It seems another idea. The termination of intellectual superiority, compelling enough. The maladies of fear.

Definition performance a trace of art, the mad among the many commentators, already dead, unfettered; the history of the people a single reading sympathetic to depictions, the troops of the combative writer, surmise overthrown, invariably monstrous. Incumbent distinctions matter. The background is not really funny, a wide range of idea and brutality. Believe it, but in ambiguous light, an achievement of the imagination thing.

Political realism is suspicious. A lot of beauty. Rely on survival, gangsters but without extensive foreign support, horrendous conquerors, coloratura within, the malady of art, the ear in governance embedded in hope, participation in lack, the cruelties of apprehensions

difference against the invasions of identity

in confrontation

the termination moral

try to build a fool

clear the masses

reconstruct killed mechanisms

fear will oppose

feeding into attitudes

beliefs disastrous

How Barf Lacks

Indie trite hound codas 

swerve at fine dining sores,

canning given circumcision 

for bunk bed chill charades, 

steamily rending outer hunks 

at precessing polar heist climbs, 

axing tensile shrugs 

from librarian clocks.

How barf lacks 

one scanned glow 

while naked hens canoe, 

tiptoeing past vowels 

in constant string suction’s 

tree hearse alimony bib, 

graven over ad hoc stovepipe 

chatroom popularity feet.

Once Apron Etude

Amazing amanuensis artillery anxiously asserts every ogling headlong assumption, commandeering mulish low-rider precedents for consequential depravity’s newly flagellated temblor of tambourine pith and fairly baleen equivocation, slumbering too far below a hovering selector’s trained pathways.

Wordless swingers smile into steeply puckered thighs, plunging specious guitarist pylons in feebly entrusted aerial motives, whisked away to gurgling encirclement’s river of tirade neglect. Formaldehyde encapsulates a pinch of shaken salmon ignition, freshly opposed in atavistic chemistry soot, hounded into parochial dockyard proxy rebuttal by paltry pagination graphs.

Swaggering swiggers wig in caravan cacophony, meting out cylindrical colanders of derby-colored wingless strops, pinned to axon detritus. Shields splinter abutment yarns in millisecond perusal cruft, humbling even the pressed eventualities of sutured fisticuffs, playing drowned limelight tankards in sanctioned truncations of a deviled beeswax monogram’s ellipsoidal grunt.

Fiercely planted streetcar palaver mimics hocked pen pal eruption fees, soldering summations to leading louts with ribald stockyard sibling ankles embedded in fungal shams. Bowling steams in spastic mug shot hooliganism in time for trivial Mondays, evening out deranged chant dealers.

I hear entrusted file droughts peeling back Tyrolean time bomb suits, reviling flubbed cleats. Known once apron etude for kissing altruistic ballgame desecration hymns, thinking stevedores rush bravely out of ink to callous wavefront jetsam pilings, shaving bursars into chary sponge espousal.

Cue Ball Contrails

Lunge-ass thinking holed up in neither

tree lines nor candied clifftop dungarees,

plenty of denuded sophisticates hashing

weighty torsion feathers into useful

one-word semaphores of regional import,

sure to mooch off innate ivory shuckers.

Sleeveless cellophane

left wanting inner knucklers,

shaven from drowned town centaur felt,

smoothly fitted cue ball contrails spreading

warnings out to lighthouse pancake slip-up cranes.

Hefty weeds crowd stake aweigh,

shifting chains from slinky dough

in boggled cattle all the spay

to flossing mainspring settlers,

crossed at glandular trickle stops,

manned by shorn malts and feral jeans. 

Excess Eggs

Buried in whirling adages of lost pelagic slipstream soup, nougat-bearing loadies balance christened whimsy play toy towers on autumnal sidebar spherules, itching edgy tourniquets of porcine flagrancies with diplomatic trophy gutter magpies, bent on foul determinacy’s indisputable ratchet queen.

Training glossy buns on spouting hailstorm lamination jukes, umbral mentation indulges hourly chimney toasters by the handheld fulminator’s dryly fumbled raisin turkey griller, fondly offered in suffusion’s castoff iron segue fence.

Nodding withered stalwart huddles pay in corked diameters of apprehensive suds, gently tying off on bedpost roulette garrisons of foxtrot deli techno eulogies for procaine stumble fashion wheels in humble downy polka dirges.

Bodies give it ye hauled triage tyranny, facing duly spectacular bedroom sand ticks down to ribald dumpster chute survival, wedging wobbly water stew’s edition platter into fulsome martinet retreat, pulling on framed suffragettes with inches of deleterious relay peat.

Infusing temblors race to sandbag dolphin dumplings, cementing woozy portents of a flavored isthmus, pumped to contrail idiom’s hedge in dusty matrimony.

Selfsame wads avert eternal mixing posture’s coastal parturition, carping on wrung dailies in daughter drones of hooligan empties, shaking musty canes at hallowed whey assembly paws, cleaved to saw teeth in defection’s bluish greasepaint stitch.

Excess eggs row back from sloughed-off clover tiers at three o’clock’s slowly spined collusion spike, eyeing voluntary owls with conning dowry discotechnical lion crates, bowed to shyly camping oleo’s tinder shade of burbled onset.

Oblongata Moxie

 

Turgid opportunities insist

on mass communal caissons,

remanding allied salt replay

for altercation demons.

Paradise invades secluded

barter tombs with bottled caulk,

puddling into queasy cordite glue.

Keeping luck tea locked down low,

blending over fly nest hokum’s

wooden tabula gracias,

peaking hinges flame

pecan wader wheat

with hallway tendencies,

ugly groans descaling

shaven tees with

oblongata moxie.

poem || Jeff Harrison

Bonfire Of Psychoanalysis

you could play
chess with the
shadier elements
of her story

you call white, &
she the black pieces
pulled up from streets
unforeseen

or you could both play
with
thimbles

you could use the thimbles
with
blasts beneath them
in the four-moon-one-tree night
one bird,
whose reflection's a branch
one branch,
whose mirror's a bird
one gale,
whose glass is a branch
a branch
whose secret double's
the palm of your hand -
listen, you -

picking antique out of silver
she's lost her tongue, she's bonfire of
psychoanalysis
medicine keeps her secret (double's
the silver feather in her wing)
sleep rewrites her million (of doll-ars,
of wings), she hoooooooooooooots
"inability abuses permanence"
out of her left-side mouth &
"slumber ENDANGERS timetables"
out of her right-hand mouth

bonfire of
psychoanalysis,
what hummingbird do you
hold in your beak?

below you sleep a thousand stallions
the hummingbird's shadow fallllllllllls upon

All talk

She: Sitting right beside him. Stillness. She went back to her writing, singing quietly.

He: He licked his pencil; but then, without using it, threw it on the floor.

She: In her head, she paused, still writing, still singing. She phrased a complaint.

He: She was so boring, trivial. All these different words she muttered; to provoke him.

She: Stupid, she thought, stupid. It was; he was.

He: He knew, she was deep but slow, too fuzzy to mention. She'd been an exciting game. You run everything, she'd said. The slight creak of her chair now. Indistinguishable movement.

She: He thought it was dark.

He: She spoke now. "What time?"

She: He was strange, each day puzzled to find himself. Quick, insane, dark figure, bent. Snug, trying to stop.

He: She'd been lying beneath his head. Just my legs, their arrival. Joke or not, motionless, bare.

She: The ground floor of the end.

He: He liked the sound of his chair. There was some amusement. The open doorway. He was being testy, a hole through strangeness.

She: He was winning again. His mouth drew her, the look.

He: Something under each day without words. A recalcitrant look today.

She: She pushed her annoyance again.

He: In the dark on the seat opposite. He didn't understand it.

She: The fabric of her, the vehicle, her boots. People taking notes. Talking sounds whispered.

began blossom      wood           wall

fragrant branches      outline here

sturdy lighting devices

accept the space

and space glides sharply

into cataclysm

faithful huge white glitters

the town is austere after glamour

space black

head arriving

flames pervading

watch everything

soft

green on green

red memory

exchanging harmony

drum silent

and after the music, you're everywhere

supporting prancing

green by red

questioning

through the depicted sunshine

gates on every side

skyline orange below

trees pierce the filling municipality

space twinkling

town brilliant

began blossom memory

exchanging white into swaying

orange below

vibrating shimmer

red visible

smiling scattering every hinterland

the which is unforgettable

white and the music

flames by green

lost between us

you hear forget

framed memory no love

between us you hear you hear you hear you hear you hear

forget

the masts the sea the sky

gold

jolting trees impatiently

many in orange and green

vibrating

all orange below

spun eye

juice spills

tinted carpet

apple riches

no love in memory

red tinted

white and soft and in cars

sparse black

is top and crown

lets many in your once

once desperate

beside a hand place

between alone is the gates

dancing from might

where and may it reverse?

is unforgettable where soft

jet violent, soft you, be over

the filling the past falls dancing

between us

across our skyline to a man

but the gates looking quiet

bright and after

a smelling white

your reverse?

silent quiet bright

cloud hour

pioneers neighbours into cuts eyes

exhales on tea, memory

to rage

rubbing where soft

into in far all when

when all moored

horizon glows flee gray silver white and the quiet

human a mist

a barely sap riding

shouting from

bring merchandise

striving

which is unforgettable

soft you watched everything

racing the wind

smell and sun

across our skyline

iridescent

space and somewhere scaling

rapture

tracks vapours

empty harmony

filling the rhythmic head

all orange ink

(1) “seeking the totality” is a quotation from a revised version of West Boogie which was published by Masthead magazine edited by Alison Croggon. West Boogie and the earlier West address the 1999 total eclipse of the sun, visible as a total eclipse in the west of Cornwall
