Prophylaxis  is a word I abhor

But prophetic words I adore.

Logos  and Mythos

Give humans the  tip off;

The  archangel is here at the door

Dr Brown gave me some pills

For I need to heal my ills.

But God  it is who rules us yet

And so with him I have to sweat.

Now on my fifth week of drugs

Maybe  what I need is hugs.

But my cat’s arms are  far too short,

So with him I can’t cavort.

Hence I have to buy a snake.

I am reluctant for to take

A  slimy creature into bed

We’ll both lie on the floor instead.

Yet I feel I’d like a lion.

Take me now,oh Lord,to Zion.

A lion   may get a thorny paw

As Daniel in the Bible saw.

So if I aid this sleeping lion

He will hug me, am I lying?

When he wakes he may eat me.

Better make a pot of tea.

Bread and butter,fish and chips

No  surprise I have big hips.

I hope these new pills will aid me.

I think I’ll know by Saturday.

For my urinary tract

With jewelled lights must now be packed

Oh,Lord save my kidneys   health

Or I’ll be with you   with my wealth.

I know that's how death will come,
Suddenly flying into another orbit
when you are photographing flowers.
It's not a gentle transition.
No-one will know where you've gone.
One step wrong and you're
off the high wire
And plunging into the no safety net.
Flying for a while;
Jumping into hyperspace,spinning electrons
Startle your grey eyes.
Transiting the new black sun
You're on a double gold helix,
Spider on your web,
Knitting furiously
Into the future heaven on gossamer wings.
Butterfly goodbye,I'm off to see the stars.
And the black holes.No-one will come with me.
I'm shaking off,evaporating into mist.
I'm a flying saucer on a circus mission.
I can't say no to a new invitation.
Make it fast and break with tradition.
Time is passing smoothly till that break
In the music,I've been transmuted into a different key
someone else will play me on their violin
I'm a tune,
I'm a thought,
I'm a whisper in your vision.
Goodbye,darling.I'm under orders
Ready to leave for my performance
On the electric carpet.
Death dancing to a tune on a violoncello,
Arpeggionne sonata
i'm playing your words upside down
In a new foreign translation,
Accompanied by solo artists,ice cracking
I'm going in.It's too sudden.
I'm flying.
Spinning faster to amuse the clowns,
too many ups and no downs.
I'm going right out of orbit
I've broken the pull of gravity,
And fly with pure equanimity
Into my future life,
I'm off at some moment,
An instant ,a crack,a loud smack.
That was me passing.

I dreamed that I swam in a silvery sea
Like mercury from the school lab
and around me were gathered uncountable swans
Looking both regal and sad.
Then one floated over and sang to me
In a voice that was mellow and clear
"I've consulted extensively with all of the swans
And you definitely should not be here"


I wondered where I was meant to swim
If i could not swim with these swans,
Till I found myself flat in the back of a car
With a pleasingly attractive young man!
Soon I found I was pregnant with three sets of 
twins
I was feeling remarkably sanguine.
Till my handsome young lover came back to my side
Along with a rather large penguin.

At 3.33am I woke myself up 
I was laughing so much I was shaking.
When I fell back to sleep,so quick and so deep,
The penguin was still patiently waiting!
I am afraid I don't recall much more,
My mind was so full of glee;
but when I found some ice by my bed the next day
I remembered that great Arctic Sea
