The Fractured

The Fractured

The Fractured playing tricks. Sliding between the holes.
Beneath the conscious lair; behind the shadows.
Silence a recurring theme angled for security.
Grating anxious peripheries justified in time.
Simple pleasures and complex complexes migrate
Forming an essence in juxtaposition to harmony.
Losing dimensions, light fading faster than an unsuitable metaphor;
Colonisation of the lymph nodes immunisation from erosion.
Rotting dusty memories declining in resonance /meaning and increasing
Travel and motion freedom to; freedom from.
Democracy’s beacon squashed in sycophancy, in newsprint
Tonight Ladies and Gentlemen we present for you........

The Final Post

I've decided that this is to be me last post on this. I've picked me guitar up for the first time in a number of years. So as a final post I've put some new lyrics.


TOMORROW ALWAYS KNOWS

G G7
C F Am

One for tomorrow and one for today
One for the History declined anyway
One for the concrete and one for the rust
One for the cliched pretentiousness

And it is all down to tomorrow

One for the conscious and one for the tired
One for this rootless peripheral sleep
One for the writer with no earthly skill
One for the barman who is constantly pissed/and his mythology

And it is all down to tomorrow
 
One for the foolish for one who’s inspired
By this grey City in which we're mired.
One for a Lowry and one for Millais
'A willow grows aslant a brook'

And it is all down to tomorrow

And it is all down to tomorrow
And it is all down to tomorrow

.....................................................


WHY WAS I BORN WITH A DIFFERENT FACE.

There he stood irreverent naked in serene presence
Stood alone irrelevant he deftly spun the times he knew
in that garden spoiled by few gentle stones softly spake that

Spines/Times grow hard
Hearts grow hard
To the Sound/mind of William Blake
 
Rustling tress and shallow skies restless souls now satisfied
Intoned truths debris of youth romantic answers meekly sooth
Statues weep and sculptors sleep plotting ruthless emergencies

Spines/Times grow hard
Hearts grow hard
To the Sound/mind of William Blake

In the search for something new you dig up prehistoric views

This memory makes me feel

Here we go looking back

Cultured nostalgia trap we’re going backwards

A painting of tepid touch
Born not asking/not up to much
I know that you know it too

Just that you have failed
To make a market for yourself
I know that you know it too

Here we go looking back
Cultured nostalgia trap we're going backwards.


Here we go looking back
Cultured nostalgia trap we’re going backwards.

Head Resting on Palm

Head Resting on Palm.

To exclude rather than to embrace or advance.
To accrue advantage; project assurances.
Schadenfreudic rejection. Scornful sniffy sigh.
They didn’t even know!..
How could they possibly ever know?....

Attain.
Retain.
Unrelinquished.@Usingitassomeformoftritemetaphor.co.uk

A discredited system. Demolished and rebuilt during lengthy nights of cogitation.
Head bowed impotent. Panoramic views of decaying ambivalence. Cauterised entropy.
No longer vital. Seeping allergic bitterness. Contaminating the naive fetishist. Newly automated chattel of mandatory toil. Inescapable skin lapping in toxic waves of anxiety. Centripetal combing of consciousness.
.............................................Keep it tight. Hold the line. Wait!
.............................................Paused nostalgia.
.............................................Tis the mark of the man
.............................................Tis the man of a conservative land.

28th May 1938

When all the others were away at Mass
I was all hers as we peeled potatoes.
They broke the silence, let fall one by one
Like solder weeping off the soldering iron:
Cold comforts set between us, things to share
Gleaming in a bucket of clean water.
And again let fall. Little pleasant splashes
From each other's work would bring us to our senses.

So while the parish priest at her bedside
Went hammer and tongs at the prayers for the dying
And some were responding and some crying
I remembered her head bent towards my head,
Her breath in mine, our fluent dipping knives--
Never closer the whole rest of our lives.

(Seamus Heaney. In Memoriam M.K.H., 1911-1984 )

"to me in a condition of dislike or hatred is” (A SOMETHING ((in one movement)) OVER FOUR HOURS)

"to me in a condition of dislike or hatred is” (A SOMETHING ((in one movement)) OVER FOUR HOURS)

The shock. A middle-aged miscalculation of time. .
Entropy. The First word uttered. A false dichotomy. (T.I.N.A.)
Ennui. Rothko’s Yellow and Gold.
"to me in a condition of dislike or hatred is”
Celebration. Healthy Stimulus.
Microscope/Telescope. HORRORscope.
“Certain people have an idiosyncracy towards toxic absorption”
Dys-Pepsi-a, Acute neuralgia. Fungal infection. Lumbago. Eczema. Dermatitis . Cyanosis. Anaemia. 13:37:13. Saturday, 16 May 2009.

There is a greenfly in my bath. Deadly washing around on the swell of my presence. I catch it. The pincer movement of my thumb and fore finger. On closer inspection it is not a greenfly but a piece of grass. A medium-orchid hue on its vitrified surface. Vertical lines and a black scar. No more than a couple of milometers in length. I can see it in minute detail. Behind it are the ridges of my fingerprints currently mine, but soon to be the property of the State.

“Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in ea ch across.(40 sc)”.
An irresistible pull to the left. Elbows at right angles.
Kerouac and Welsh by my bed. I wish people would shut that door.

Travel plans. 288. Do not spend too long.
Restricted in width depth and length.
In somnolence. A Brave New World for this Epsilon.
A conifer tree ebullient in essence attempting to break free from Xylem and taxonomy.
“of organisms. However, it has become fashionable in”
Although a good Ei(8)ght miles away.
And twenty (23) three hours ago.
It still remains.
