I must be a cunt. The word prick doesn’t go far enough

 

I must be a cunt. The word prick doesn’t go far enough. Prick is soft. It doesn’t cut ya. I wanna talk about kind hearted women & why I’ve always been too much of a pussyole to put a ring on it. Kind hearted women remind you that men & women are in the same boat. We go after twinkle discs only to be treated like shit. I’ve known some kind hearted women, who if I were a man worth the name I woulda hooked up with. Sure there were nights, but I was always beholden to the rice crispie so my friends/ my people would approve. Men are cowards, they seek out the beautiful ones for proof of their status. But the beautiful ones let you down & so in between relationships you meet kind hearted women. But they’re hooked onto some flake & so you’re a mate. Max hung up on the phone to me. She was upset I used the word cunt. But prick doesn’t go hard enough. She’s a kind hearted woman. I don’t not pursue her because of looks, I don’t because she’s so raw & I don’t want to get lost in 6 hour conversations everyday. She’s pretty. But she’s heavy. Hence I seek a ray of sunshine into my dark hours. But I know that the latter will let me down. Poets are made to suffer for their muses. Max like me is a poet & so she suffers like me. & kind hearted women are the sufferers, still they sustain. Not much of a poem but just an acknowledgement that the women I battle with are not the kind hearted varieties. They are victors not victims. & they prevail.

In a very unorthodox way

  In a very unorthodox way # (For Max Sometimes) In a very unorthodox way, I’m an Irish Catholic. Of course, in terms of Belfast politics that MEANS something. & while that maybe true – in Australia, for different reasons, as Fr Bob Maguire put it – when Mary first saw Jesus walking out of the tomb on day 3 of his death, she exclaimed “JESUS!!!” – the first time his name was used as a swear word. In that way of an irreverent joke, REVERENTIAL & ORTHODOX are not my way to the Sacred/Love*. For me – I’m not really into Theology – as Max Sometimes quoting me, quoting my mate Richard, quoting Bob Marley, quoting Rasta elders, said today “who feels it knows it.” & I believe that if I am to write my Mass/Symphony of Hope/Love, I must include at least one blasphemous hymn, else the vision depicted be simplistic, like George Handel’s Messiah. The Hope/Love represented or perhaps alluded to (if you prefer) must include genuine despair, dejection, transgression else it...

Love

  Love   Some people exude a loving energy Like Mary & you feel transformed From your woes & spleen & love is woken in you   They made no mistake when they named her Light floods you when you’re with her & though she struggles to find words Now she’s 91 years old She loves all the more Like the unknowable name of God   Like that Indian girl People would visit To receive wisdom & healing Just by her presence She locates the good in me & I feel so much better About being alive   She reminds me That I can play that role for others That I can let go of the grief, the hurt & let go of the rage   She reminds me of my mission To bring truth & light Through the darkness & show the path to follow For other lost people    & that the love she exudes Is as much a reflection of my love That I had forgotten I possessed     Published ...
