The Accident Exorcist...

[work in progress]

I

I was thrust into blinding pristine unimagined chaos

sound    colour    warm breast    clean death

dumblocked with lips sewn, everything is new

and there are giants, foreign creatures laying me down!

down on cold cotton in ironic glass coffin (cradle to the grave)

no warm Egyptian threading breeding readiness for gluttony

falling diamond tears sizzling crisp clear breathing

Kew window sills bathing new born babies
sound, excruciating

I fit snug in the clutches of my fathers hands
like a pebble from the beach or a grain of sand

no need to speak just yet no thoughts of life nor death
no ego devouring consciousness

Picasso observed with infant eyes imprinting stillness and movement in frames

my parents heads are made of squares and hair like flames

II

green flat forest crushed under knee and palm

I'm Goliath in Galena feel my wrath

the witches pointing fingers at my frail figure - splat

giddy up Sasha white armored stallion, it's time to go to battle

for chocolates, Grandma and Mr.Aruba's lolly jar

to win the war of innocent eternity

King of cardboard castle higher than backdeck tree skeleton arms

in leafy outreach 60 feet, ruling land with iron fist

a sorcerer scepter petrified serpent from Africa

parting earthly crusted doors with minor universal disturbance

releasing quaking steaming secret sovereign silent armies
in the orange glow of the armory furnace

workers slaving steel on anvils for shields and swords

that keep death at arms reach, for King to reign in peace
(not then would it have been conceived that doom was to come to the dynasty so soon)

III

I've been left wishing I could steal fathers forgotten over 23 years
folded and carried in my pockets as notebooks
bleeding ink seeping through pant seams and skin into blood stream fueling the guilt

the crushing regret    the loss    the preventable (the maybe)    the insanity

- o despair
distressed and stretched

like wishbones under marble Davids

the steel globe overlooking Dili on the back of an ant
