ROYAL JELLY

bbbbzzzz
I shall feed you
royal jelly

crown you
my queen

be your be all
and all spoiling you
rotten with honeyed poetry
(such as Keats and
Shelley, Ovid and Ronsard)

hoping against hope
that when you
sleep you will
need a micrometer
to measure
the distance between us

no space separating when
it comes to shared dream

ENDGAME

at the end
we will be a fable
part of the mystery

that butterfly
that sent out a tiny
wing-wave
minuscule shift
in the cosmos
fleeting disturbance
in the force (it was)

will they know
how we laboured to learn
to find, explore
what frustrations
and what failures?

our planet filled with
electrical light — a beacon
in the galaxy, so
we thought
so we believed
until
it burned

and our mystics, surely they
of our race in some sense abide,
in some way
survive?

who saw this domed night sky as
if the speckled inside of an egg

waiting for the key
the code, the word to
crack it open

shatter that shell into a billion
star-pieces
stick your fingers (sexual
metaphor) into
the fire of
a star, Vega blue or
bright Sol yellow

then at last
for one brief moment
we can
be at the centre
of everything

until the tyranny of day night day
night
of absolute light dark binary
re-establish and restore

Oh the raw fusion energy of
Helium fire
secret to all

in this cold cold Universe
that knows desire

EVAPORATE

in the absolute absence of love
let me evaporate

when you next call
(if you ever call)
there will be
no breath
just vapour and
steam

or perhaps plasma
if the warmth I felt for you
residue of that period of
intensity
searing, blow-torch desire

turn
incandescent, go supernova like
exploding star

and that
if you had loved me
would have been
the perpetual expression
of my desire

ALIEN

I observe you closely
from deep space
though I am
a few thousand
parsecs
(as the crow
does not fly) away

need to get closer
to really see, touch your face

feel if your star
is as red-hot as they say

and if you
could love creature
truly alien

and if thing
so alien

why not me?

MICROWAVE

you are
magnesium flare

are
cast-iron pot
in a microwave

nitroglycerin
tires
on a
747

you are so anti- anti-oxidant
things corrode just looking at you
so anti
your whole molecular structure
must be solidly oppositional

your system breeds confrontation
with every Sting-Police breath you take

and when you
speak

that’s when we know where
the Big Bang went
nothing
residual about
your
radiation

ray gamma, ultraviolet, certificate XXX —
you just dish and dole them out

and speak of
explosive
you the
banned neutron bomb
cobalt-coated

question:
did the dude who
made Blake’s Tyger
shift
the symmetry
a little

question: given the half life of
uranium, plutonium, californium, plutonium

how did I manage
to stay so long
(stirring that
fission fusion
reactor inside you)?

LEAP

“Better a sparrow, living or dead,
than no birdsong at all.”
Catullus

I shuffle
my poem
leaps

so my obvious solution:
sleep with
my poem
if not
with me

for that creature
is fired, is
child
of my desire

is pure
living embodiment
of all I dare
imagine

that which
once was
and can now
never be.

GIFT

gift that we
give each other

trust Monsieur Derrida
to wrap an aporia
in with this

and me
thinking what
you are about to give
an act of
grace
special sacrament

that thing whose
mode of existence
might be open
to question
and yet which
cannot but truly
embody your essence
(prove to be nothing
if not its most faithful expression)

Oh this theology
I am up there with it
see how
in the hands
of the artist
whatever is in fact realized
all things are possible

my poem
each line a
finger and
a string

could be said
to be arrowing for you
yet never
so linear

Oh such hands
such hands

shaped for gifts
shaped for giving

everything about them
lending itself to metaphor

and so
insistent about
their service
augment the artist in
whatsoever inspiration

UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES

let me go
deep
as I can
under the
circumstances

let me put
the “man”
in your
shaman

let us
pass through
doors and walls
turn this
Universe into
a window

let me count
infinity in
the pores
of your skin
every millisecond
of thought in
your crazy
imagination

let us
reverse
all polarities

turn
every
inside to out
every outside to in

DE RERUM NATURA

we were scientific
about the nature
of our relationship

discussed
the physics of coffee

the biological morphology
of caffeine in our bodies

and how we
should drown in
one gulp

and rush off
to the “laboratory”
to experiment

FLY

fly here baby
come and
make love
to me

fly under the radar
baby
fly to high
for roadblocks
too fast
for
street patrols

fly here
fast and
cuddle up
next to me

still dark but
soon gonna be light
put your
arms around me
before the
Sun comes up

set this
man alight

fly fly fly
(you so
fly baby)

no one
no one

not me
nor my
waiting body

ever
could deny
