Day: December 10, 2017

What did you mean?

Come to night school and learn to breed properly
My sister never does a rite wrong
Why not learn socially and be a statistic?
Make Britain hate again.Become a fascist in three weeks of lessens   and  take our Tictocks at the end
Do  you fear Vulgar Factions? Don’t come  to Britain for a holiday.
Are all mathematicians irrational  or is  it just  certain numbers?
Why are women not  like men and other unanswerable dilemmas.Ten weeks for £10.Toast and Certificate in Frame.
Do you  creed the Daily Fail?
How to have an  Eastern horror.Come to Clacton and fry.
Learn  to write and moan both at once.
Are you shy? Come to East Wanglia. We  hate talking.Free dinners and bath on weekends.Food on bequest.Read my will
If you hate me, you’ll hate my blog more than words can say.So  don’t

Watching the snow fall in the glare of neon street lights.

 

SnowyStreet.jpgToo old for cold,
I stand, now, against the hedge,
Watching the snow fall in the glare of neon street lights.
Darkness has come early,
I think of country uplands and huddled sheep.
On Salisbury Plain, shepherds watched their flocks
Just as in Bethlehem two thousand years before.
And then, exactly when?
“Between the wars”, it stopped
Now we know there is no “Between the wars”.
And who decided
To cull the sheep and shepherds
And the space for kindness?
Now that same Plain still exists, but banned
And closed to human-kind,
For bombs, not wombs
Nor for birth of lamb, nor gypsy child, nor Saviour
Where would He go today?

To a Light bulb

Photo0099.jpg

Oh, light bulb foreseen, by our God
Save us all from darkness’ rod
You are our Saviour as foretold
In prophecy by ancients bold.
We will worship you at night
When sunken is the sun so bright.
We’ll watch TV and Kindle fire
No more to play shall we aspire.
We’ll wear ourselves out watching screens,
As from a can we eat baked beans
We’ll send for pizzas with our phones
With which we never feel alone.
We might talk to our partner dear
Though texting them is easier.
We see the neon street lights gleam
Where once we saw the moon’s cold beams
And in bed we read our books
With a kindle or a nook
We put beneath our pillows fair
Iphones which we long to hear
Can one have too much new light?
From  that technology, some take flight
For gone are seasons, and their fruit
As our computer we reboot.
New potatoes all year round
Avocados once quite rare
Now are seen green everywhere.
Melons, grapes and fresh green peas
As the birds sing, life’s a breeze.
Oh light bulbs, fluorescent tubes
Electric candle, light is cubed.
We thank you for extended days
Maybe we’ll find time for prayers.
God is great in mystery
No light bulb can help us see.
In silence, darkness, meditate
Wonder what will be our fate.
As retribution for our wrongs
Satan stabs us with his prongs
He needs no more light in hell
The fiery furnace cooks as  well.

Let’s  enjoy the beauty without blame

The snow  shall cover all contempt and wrath
The world is beautiful  without our sin
The vices that make demons writhe and laugh

The snow has made a blanket. signal of
How we stop and then we start again
The snow  shall cover all contempt and wrath

As it is  below so it’s above
The deep clouds  hide the sky and war planes’ din
Killing by design makes  demons  laugh

When  we see the Breughel Icarus
We  learn that suffering pricks more than a pin
Yet snow  shall cover evil and  God’s wrath

Snow may cover like our mother’s love
But perhaps we need to learn to bear our pain
And kick  those demons  off our human path

Yet until the sun begins to wane
Let’s  enjoy the beauty without blame
The snow  shall cover our contempt and wrath
The vices that make  us humans lose our love

Sinner parties

  • We often went to sinner parties
  • His eyes  showed he was contrite.
    We entertained without knowing it.
    I am the widow of his soul
    As Catholics we were forbidden to use crampons
    Contravention is not allowed in the marriage bed
    Now silence is folded and love seems dead
    He was worth the surprise of life.
    She stares with eyes like green diamonds.Esmeralda!
    Stop and tell the roses
    He blessed the waters as they froze… and he got bitten by the  toads.
    I fill the bends in time with laughter
    With me it’s rhyme after time.Line after line
    Rhyme still wounds those with no skin.
    A savage groan is soon lost into the ocean.
    Did you ever get that dramatic feeling?
    What a hole!I bet you’re reeling.
    Take it back, it’s too revealing.
    With a face like yours, you need concealing
    My figure didn’t add up to more than 90 inches.
    A  skit on logic is the death of hope.

When he went away

Written by: Katherine Braithwaite

When he went away,

He said,"Lehitraot,mama."

Do vstrechi.

He died but I'm still here

Yes,in my heart I feel his love.

But why did I live,

And he did not?

Auf wiedersehen

Lehitraot.

Yes,darling,I'll see you later,

When the sky turns black and all the stars blaze bright

I'll see you shining in the night.

I'll see you in my dreams alas.

Do vstrechi.

But why you and not me too?

Araka

I can't understand.

Lehitraot,beloved.

A plus tard

Some where in this world,you fell

But no-one,not even God, can tell.

God was absent then or in some other place

He's gone again.

They said He's died too,

But He didn't have a mother like you.

Do vstrechi.

My breasts ache and my heart and soul,

My breasts were made to make you whole.

To feed, give love and to console.

A plus tard

And now they ache with grief as my tears fall.

A bientot

My body trembles in the night

As dreams may bring my lost ones to my sight.

A plus

I'd walk across the roughest bleak terrain

If l I could find my loves and hold your hands again.

Do vstrechi.

The bell rings on the ancient clock

As time goes on as normal ,it doesn't stop.

Araka

I wish the hands of time could be reversed,

And I was not living with this curse.

People forget that I once had a son.

They think my grieving has been done.

Araka.

But grief and loss and pain will never end

Until the curtain of my death descends

Auf wiedersehen.

Meantime I look at flowers and birds and trees,

But it's really you my deepening insight sees.

Lehitraot.

Th inscape of my heart is shown to few,

An artist of the lost would know this view.

I know I want to see just you.

Do vstrechi.

But for me there is no

Auf wiedersehen

Never again will you say

What you said that day

Lehitraot,

Mama.

Papa

A plus tard

Tot ziens.

See you later

See you soon.

See you.


You


 the beloved

An instant ,a crack,a loud smack.

 

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,
