non will

turning the loop

seeks approval

as the passive object of birth

beyond injury

determined to go on anon

finds nothing of displeasure

nothing of worth

drops the bag

with it's own name in it

it it self slips

on contact

splits

Country

a popular song

which left the country unwashed, unclean

never married the waves either

rather sucked them down the plughole

forcing up that trust of being gone

a song that put us in training

made us worse than trouble

did us a little way from shame

was caused by nothing

remembering noone

i remember how it goes

Here

here

in nothing

by nothing

keeping it that way

making it happen

doing that one right

what else is there to do

but get to the ending of it

play with words

play with objects

detecting lineage

unbearable desolation

dead by daily progress

and back again

I endure to please no

change colour
change shape
dessicate
then you flake
one when you sleep
another when you wake
you endure
now you endure

black

flat

soaked
wrung
the healing hump
burdens the colour
folds on the shape
how i endure
i endure -
to please no
pick up the forceps
flux the flailing circus corpse

i have to continue in this

pass me over that yellow slap though first

The Long Wait

forget memory and me

we want to be purged

we have everything we need

we have no cross
no thoughts between ourselves
we have no loss

we won't reflect

we want to be purged

we know it will take forever

we know it will take forever

forget mimicry and me

forget dignity and me

we have everything we need

we know it will take forever

forget memory and me

forget the long wait

Wait

Wait

in no other
empowered by,
shamed before,
perceived as and before

to be asked

am is, and, as is happened after,
great breath returned in want.

Wait

un-wrung.

Force-fed gaps of on and off.

to be told

Wait

Gone.

and often on, and off
to imagine
gone again, to be gone.

Wait

to beg one, and off.

Wait
again against one
and on

and off of off and on and off of and on

and Wait

on off

Wait

on off

What happens when I stop

what happens when i stop

when i stop it moves

it moves by doing nothing

it moves when i happen

when i happen to say

to say nothing means

nothing means i stop

when i stop it moves

it moves anywhere

anywhere it moves

it moves there when i stop

when i stop anywhere

it moves there

I fail to move

everywhere

it moves there

when i stop

I stops

You don't have words anymore

You don't have words any more

But the again, you do

You've got words anymore

The difference being that now they've got you too
