barcode consciousness contains logic, emotion, gut feeling, superstition, fear of numbers

gone dead track

nurse x reports for work in the war zone

a step beyond
becoming, she strides out light
crossing the road w robbie in the phones
done with a swish of white shoes
everyday I have to cry some
(forgetting the second verse,
getting to the chorus early)
hey look me over
(if he would only - dr sanchez -
just look this way)
kind of wierd the world reflected in a driver's eye
leaflets shiver on the white line
money dancing in the bottom of her bag
nearly to the nearly to the kerb
only wonder how the baby's stump will heal
particularly since supplies are -
quick glance at the swatch
really oughta lose a few
she pulls her belly taut
time only left to feel the red blast rip -

footy dream

OK, this morning I had this dream where a footy team was charging across a field. Two of the ones at the front were stuffed guys like dolls made of a gleaming marshmallow-like substance, but firm. Then I saw the team charging head on with the mallow guys under their arms. Sometimes the off season seems very long.

for example

i was standing on johnston street
when she fell out of the sky
an angel black as soot
eyes pooling 29 lifetimes
joy just off the boil
an OD that morning
a child to hold
a heart to capture
a furnace to refuel:
bar open

heiroglyphics swim
on the light pouring out her throat
as she embraces all of us
coal tumbles from her mouth
she dances upside down
her hair, refracting prisms, rears
she's 12, she's 98,
she died last year

she rises over me
like frida kahlo on her funeral pyre
the resurrection booth is open
