Crash landing + "Talk"?

 

Crash landing

 

I suddenly fell thousands of years old

That black dog of vulnerability

I am a melting slow flake

In silence

Of your mysterious contemplation

 

Maybe afterall

That 6 year old

Is beating up on me when I was 5

 

& I reminded you of your own similar

 

I wanna build you up

Not tear you down

“Talk”?

 

“Talk”?

She said

 

About what?!

 

& yeah

I like to talk//

 

 

Think before

I speak?

 

What the fuck?

 

I stew then I spew

Right?

 

I don’t divide things up into categories

Of CAN say & CAN’T say

 

What?

 

Talk!

 

Words!

 

Mouthfuls of air!//

 

 

Great

 

Now just say something that doesn’t sound like you’ve said it before

 

What are ideas

 

To a poet?

 

Boxes

 

To shift

 

I’m no store boy!

 

I’m me.

 

 

//

 

 

I’m angry

 

Then it ends

 

& I’m a sad lonely guy

 

 

Holding

A golden 24 hours.

Win ugly

  Win ugly I win ugly for some bloody reason I win ugly Life’s like footy Playin into the wind Some days you act like you wish it was over Some days you get the word from the coach & you take it in your stride Though you know ur only D grade Who thought you could play ruck rover & play a ruddy blinder Who thought you had it in ya? Not even ur mother Where did that come from? For you to walk like a king who knew you could sing? About pawning ur weddin ring When ur alone You ain’t nothin but alone Just don’t scam yourself Though u can’t get any help Yes I win ugly I like it in the wet Like a 10 year old boy Drawing with a stick in the dirt Go in hard & you don’t get hurt But a wise man once scribbled The hard is overcome by the soft Like stone in water Like watching a child’s first steps One day in the sun Feelin so privileged to have been there How’d you get so lucky? Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Worth the price of admission To this valley of tears Coz every now ...

In short, sharing versus selfishness

  In short, sharing versus selfishness   I have heard about The Yolngu people & gasped & sighed & dreamed & with my kite Tacked with & against the wind; Here in Dja Dja Wurrung country, Returning, Solitude for the Yolngu people Is prohibited It’s reason of ‘sorcery’ Offered Pride & closed heartedness Stunting & ending wisdom Without love, So much the better is Living communally on Country, The sounds of Nature: Birds animals water frogs Wind trees & bushes Yarnin & laughter: Relaxed, Part OF country, Not straining adrift to Examine & stand apart, & so, I write here Amongst friends, The sounds of The sitting room Food prepared, The birds the frogs A rabbit to be Air rifle shot & eaten People walkin & talkin & A sneeze The click tick Of finished oyster shells In the fireplace Chewing noises Pottery, Life in good Company Cooperation ...
