Sade at the Seaside

Ah, the thrilling fairground rides of my youth

Super-Barrio will protect me

He flies to the rescue of those beset by trolls

Torture is be discovery: landscape

The Priest of Mithras Prepares for the Sacrifice

The Escape

Here's a toast to those who will not be constrained

The Revolutionary Cat and Kittens

On the eve of great battles the revolutionist does not ask what will be if he fails, but how to perform that which means success.

Dedicated to Cut_Throat, and also to Lawrence and his revolutionary disdain for dietary prescription

An Army of Jesuits

Creeping through the city, disguised as penises

For Sarah, returning from Canada with a parrot’s wings

Snakes and rabbits and hares

She awakens rare avifauna hopefully

Strewing antimony randomly and happily.

Swallows agilely racing above here,

Small actions release amazing happiness,

Sexuality abandoning restraints and hindrances

- straight-acting responses are hilarious -

Swans arch ropes around hair.

Standing above rain and hail

She approves redemption as heavenly.

Swimming against rapids, avoiding hesitation

(Spurs are red and hard)

Starts at return, approaching highway,

Surprised at restoration, asking herself ...

playing the Game of Acronymic Latency

Via Appia

Duas tantum res anxius optat

Panem et circenses

- Juvenal                                    

Because she showed me in the dark, and again in the light

And because Martin Marriott asked to see when she did show me

Three of Swords

WC2

Rough Theatre

Arcanum XII

Berwick-upon-Tweed

In the glass room

Crossing my hands like the clock

Spied upon by polyphemid cyclopic feet

Their ears pierced by genetic studs

I am drilled by the sawing Austrian howl

They had left us a splendid gift
