    There is no

reconciliation

                          in death

 

     there's none in life
there's no life

                       left.

 

...say grab a gun
                            all around me,  minds,  brains, 

 

love,,
love surrounds me

                               like a smell, everywhere
minds,  blasting,  screaming,   crying out:

 

 

 

 

I've started to sleep very deeply.

Dreams all the time,

                                  're everywhere I look:

 

  vivid,   fluid,
                        I thought

                        if I started to sleep it would feel better:
                        rest is the antithesis to stress: the enemy

it depends on it. Sleep and stress, sleep and stress, come back:

Help me, sleep and more sleep and still more, lashes flitting,,

send me a sister to sleep

 

to sleep in the lap, sleep and sleep and no help me:

 

 

I'm more and more anxious

                                             anxious all the time
                                             late
                                                     to everything
                                                         nothing

seems to start to move,

 

                                          brains,   falling,
     everywhere around me I can hear them
              what are they doing

              with me.

Now, opposite the sea, huge, patent

 

 

                                               you're underneath the sea
                                               In a galley   not yourself,

your family. Loss,   minds,   all the time

 

could rent a small room and sell
books and music

 

I can't believe you're dead and it's all
I can say it's stuck in my mouth
                                                     my voice is what it is:

 

marks on my skin
                             baffled

     where I scratch off the surface
     skin under my nails
     feeling so un-beautiful un-
childlike  I make friends

 

I detach. And scratch. I go into work
and drag you with me along the floor
through the doors, the airlock

                                                 and try to comb  my mind

a sudden cheering lurch
welling, hopeful, your smiling
skin,
is it possible

 to slice

           through glue?

....I'm sorry I've been coming here with
all my shitty moods but lately
my brain feels all loosed up

                                               and wrong
like imagine how it feels when you flush

out a tapeworm,

 

 

                            imagine how the tapeworm
feels; like that. All loosed,, wrong,
unable to care, panicked, ingested,,

 

 

hours and hours,,   upon hours

sleep and sleep, torn in and out of sleep and sleep

 

hello pretty: o sleep comes rolling back

my little

 

 

, this neon voice
flaring up before me, do not deviate
from your course

 

over and over again,, clumsy,, malignant

 

 

                                  when in fact waking up every day taking
one lasting breath
glaring up at the ceiling,, hammering
the roof out;

 

dress me in my favourite clothes, pick
                                                               them out for me

let me be arid and choiceless,
                                                  childlike, listening
                                                  silver graceless bells.
