if i can't see you i know it will rain and if i can see you i know it is raining

rapt skinless and transparent
revealed stigmta for a moment
on the surface of your body
in mysterious a union
can be touched not comprehended.
cant fake a blush a fit a tear
[your self spread across your face]
when you are most present here.
only then we a l m o s t meet
incarnated by thumbs to cheek
outlined, and alive, and pass
through eyes the colour of beachglass.
reverse perverse paranoia.
[do things secretly to make you happy]
adverts imprinted on the mirrors
flashneon blue in city puddles
fill a leaky consciousness
all leaned in and ladybirds.
cross yourself everyway
gances pass to kisses
and appear in your consciousness,
as you appear behind my eyes.
to be present in a body
away from allies you lies.

concrete prayer

Feel you all around
Keep us down, keep it down
But Eat and Eat and EAT.
Filled and emptied,
round and around,
from defiance to defeat.
skyscaper. moonladder.
Take me in and throw me over.
Hold my sides with hands surrender.
Guard the worried down my street [they can't remember, unglued together] trying hard but can't compete,
