there is no penny and no slotOnce you had gone  
I began to clean your kitchen.  
 
I had not meant to do so much  But once I’d started  kept unearthing  
New stains, each of which gripped me.  How pathetic it seemed. My humble,  mortifying gesture.  
The battle engaged, on hands and knees  To wash the place your feet had been.  
 
This greasy hurdle had been your endless pause.  It meant something to you: an infinite wall  Of struggles which left  You stranded, dangling in  
The water   
Which forced your murky surface to gleam. My hands were  Dressed in it, fattened by i there is no penny and no slot

our central parkI know he is in agony.  
 
I wonder  what he does to assuage the agony,  his life being  
so fat and crowded,  his age coursing through him  like a curse.   
What does he do,  old man    at home with his wife and children,  to settle the pain?   
Or not at home, further afield  than home - a place I know well  
holds it all, watertight  in barrels. His agony. Poured in carefully-measured portions and swallowed  to erase it from his vision.  
 
But there's the tangeable, touchable agony, far too touchable.  
Both inside of him and our central park

The Local AreaFinally anchored, three snakes  of tightly-bound fibre dived, entwined,  into the sea. Twenty years  after the contortion, akwardly propped together  like damp and brittle kindling:  
 
Anchor locked the jaws  
of a submerged rock, and nodded: sun-warmed face above  the biting, grappling undercurrents.   
Then a month of this, or several days:  
a bubbling, teasing, fumbling  
play of minutes watched the ships pass.   
Beneath a stark white moon the shoulders of the undergrowth  heaved and shrugged. The waves doubled over,  
contradicting themselves, and our ship, The Local Area

the unknown erosShe was different. She was  you as you were: sucked in, soiled,  manouvred and painted:   
They spent their time on you,  they saw something in you  
that wasn't in me, no matter how bright my hair,  no matter how much I tried to train it, to fill it  
with a glaring substance,  
 
Somewhere beneath the mass of white they saw  that I had merely drained it.   
Two thousand and six.  The year I dyed it.  The year you dated her.  The mornings we spent  in coffee shops,  a shock of purple beneath my eyes:   
well-equipped and dry:  
pinned-up the unknown eros

'how small we are to make so much
of all that goes unnoticed by anyone but us'

i hope nobody else finds this page; there is a great deal open to misinterpretation. i haven't been neglecting poetry. that's an obvious thing to say, because, when i don't write, i carry it with me nonetheless - but what i mean to say is that i have been writing, just not posting. as always.

life right now is complex and hapless. i need nobody to tell me what i should be doing - i have a degree of clarity and focus with regard to this - it's the moments of stasis which are frightening to me, pausing at the impasse.

that's enough. i really just wanted to share that quote with everyone.
