Text of the page (random words):
nto their own while longing stayed where she was haunting every day s dusk pleading unable to bear her child s suffering her mother wept through each night placing wet cloths on her daughter s burning forehead until one evening just before sunset she glanced down onto her daughter s writhing body and saw that unnoticed her breasts had become womanly and her hips ripe and filled with flames in that moment longing s mother knew that she must set her child free she turned her child s face into the setting sun and said go and try to find what it is you so desire longing rose and bid her mother farewell she ran not stopping to rest or eat or sleep for many weeks and when she finally stood on that slice of land where the sun sets longing lay down into the grass flung her arms open closed her eyes and waited for him to descend look at me i am not a child anymore she cried if you cannot stay with me take me with you shaken by her ravenous love the sun caressed longing with his warmth licking every sweating crevasse longing smiled and opened her eyes at last capturing the sun with her gaze he thrashed and flailed but longing s eyes were fierce and for one endless second before of falling into the earth he dipped through her and her thirst was quenched aglow in his burning rays blinded and hollow from then on longing wandered in darkness but as her body faded away her stomach grew round and full in the sun s image when her skin could not stretch any further she broke apart and out of her the moon rose glorious into our night sky

hot coals she weaves her way through the fire reds and oranges forge allies to lick the very essence of her youth tastes so full of lust and desire tastes of party frocks and at the threshold of her

a metaphor should and weeps a discharge tears hope blood any of the above seven believes it s all to do with sin her thoughts are so deliciously wicked of flowers dying of poisoned kisses and how she

of hardened hands is spoken through the cracks in skin the body is the night of glass with horizons sharpening the dialogue of darkened eyes is stillness of afternoons the heavy sound of sun hanging from dried mouth the nails of mind weighing time s weighing down the drumming heart s monologue and its own answers of blood in the fast tight fist of light and its prolonged suffocating absence the rhythm between silence and sound is the breath s weakness through the loyalty of lungs miracles of twins blossoming electricity of pain and endorphin religion rushes the monologue of aging the monologue of death the architectural bends in anatomy of the maps the world unanswered and reactionary the communion of perpetual suicide it s so hard to understand the vacuum of colours the void of flesh the charcoal post mortem of mannequins sipping teas outside in the storm is punctuated by directions of wind flowers of fire this is the crest of a day without the silence of the sun i turn the face that burns itself through into the lighthouse mind of me inside and out i touch its contours and stretch them out neatly and tenderly pull it all together with the pin of the seas and wind softened whispers they are bouncing on my skin and sinking into me silverly there is a voice now a voice like dark wood and red waterfall the mahogany pungent sighing of fire it communicates moments of future of risks we took in entering our palms and the legends imprinted deeply and blackly alphabet of decades centuries of thunders calligraphy of flowers and the grace of your piercing eyes the blankets of darkness i found in them and kissed can you feel their coming can you feel the inevitable flame flow phoenixian length of our flesh combined and pulsing it has torn away from the root of words into rustling linen of victories the sharp pang contrast of thoughts the fusion of flowers and the knifing longing aching in the black furs of night it has a shiver and wildness in exploding fingers of the sun they crush into me like tides and in there i see your feline face in new reality we are changing the immense plains of snow and dusty rags of shadows splayed agony on white and like stones we bury them in the crevices of time and walk on through to the other side every word bursts forwards to solstice and every step burns the equinox we are finally seasoned beyond hell for p v the gift of cat s eyes the start of summer the constant and closest explosive matter that pulls out all the chemicals into their symmetries of reactions is pitched brazenly in the pale blue sky of the morning rays are coming from afar there is a bite of coldness in them but they are soft they do not stick into the skin like needling kiss they will be so later as day goes through the cogs of hours my bones are trying to talk but i hear birdsongs instead maybe this is good maybe it s good to know that i am not the sum of the parts but some abstract word as consciousness that word can give immortality to all and instead of death in it we are all equal or could be but the could be is only one small afterthought is is the best of illusions we all know that in our bones but who listens to them i only hear my bones when there is pain and see their pain that one time in future when the bones of my foot will be exposed under the blood and torn flesh it will look milky and translucent and i ll walk with the exposed wound to the hospital a liquid cross and pushchair in front of me my child speaking soothing murmurs if christ was christ that s how the word to lazarus would have sounded like the tracks and the stones smell of diesel and piss the crowd of people who are waiting for the tracks to be connected to the body of the train to board it is only small and silent only few words pass around the singy sounds linger on crushing into the concrete and the green paint of the benches empty words always fall down and begrudgingly dissolve back into the void they will never pierce the flesh and stay lodged as corpses in the living grave neither are they like words that resurrect those living graves into crimes of breathing art i sit on the bench i look into the trees on the other side of the platform although they cannot go anywhere i wonder if they travel through their roots into the imagination of the planet and what would they become there i suspect them of many things a frightened cat limps around circling wide from the bodies on the pavement she knows only the perfect elicit sympathy whatever they say in those buildings houses open spaces the only god of humanity is atrophy after all we have cyanide novichok 5 substance p ricin anthrax modified and tailored viruses and bacteria not cure for hiv and cancer we have very useful words law enforcement including domestic riot control purposes incapacitating agents and associated delivery systems an acceptable addition to military arsenals whilst words can have blood and bones and burst forth with electricity and life even those we know how to maim torture and kill the cat comes and sits right in front of me as it comes close to me i notice its eyes one of the eyes is an eye that was it s a gaping badly healed hole and dirt hangs there the other eye is swollen twice the size it was at some point of the animal s past and a film swims over it it has a cataract and it is blind yet it sits there and stares at me i feel that the exposed nerve there somewhere in the crater is sending signals to both our brains i see people looking at the spectacle and making polite steps away the cat is an omen and they see me as a demon chosen child maybe they are praying for their christ to come yet again and cure the lepers so they would be saved from the hell upon earth of such an irregularity of such a sight i want to be saved from them if only so i could hear the cat through her eyes because in this noise of fear the only thing i want to do is run take the cat with me but i know it will not come it moves when i move it moves away but it does not run only mirrors the unspoken the train comes and everything becomes one fusion in the flash now the cat does run and is gone somehow managing to negotiate the bodies and the metallic beast that has arrived now i step out too about to be swallowed into it and be taken for my summer holidays away from home when i sit down i try to see if the cat is still out there but i see nothing as the train pulls out and i keep looking from the window at the moving landscape with its houses the houses with the people folded neatly inside them flipping in the breezing draft of the windows open to the rising sun it all soon melts into something i feel myself heavy in the bed unmoving only something rattling rattling and there above me a shape darkly grey bent over me i hear thunder and earth from that contour hanging above me intently my mouth waters and i try to see through my blunt eyes the woman there staring at me although there are only stumps for her arms she is reaching for me i feel no fear exiting flash back the light is twisted inward blue black life will not touch the uneven surface there will be and no exit whispers and shadows spoken im ages possibilities endless inescapable windows to circular nowheres blood on the stairs to coffins for no bodies treacherous beliefs and contrasts surviving in raisins of colours their secrecy and absent children crying inwardly always the way in unout is the past enter to dis appear unsailable ships from the shores the flash backs of burns and bruising the cavernous eye is the only lighthold to pull through deathly air of objects bisection of no w can you hear the life of walls straight down to withered skin s cut through when you cannot believe life out in side within your own eyes it morphs into empty bullets of stories inside the empty televised heart spins the void centrifugal onto the body nesting spilling unknown territories declining in round silences dawning the new men one after the other facelessness the sun sunk into red river dust teeth of bones in visibly bite into the liver the lonely image follows one another in perpetual struggle to itch blood from hems of shadows sown into redness those knots of disasters defining state of war and redemption intoxication can they take it all away force feed exile of spleen lacking backbone a gift to twins tending to exit into the debris of nerve tissues so tired of un living swallow death or sleep _______________________________________________________________ presented by walter conley
