Room 1001











...........................

And vast the silence, the heart:

The sacred sacred heart

- We were unsighted by this fire.

Vast sea, empty sea -

In your green visions we untounged

.......... just turned away.
And oil was oozing like erotic black stuff:
The next day, which blurred into mirrors,
There was a terrifying rumour of a man
Who reacted. All this reminds me of-
That day she and I (young) (silly) (hot)
and (rashly) - wrote A loves B on the sand,
When she was certain: but I have tried
To control that part of my Universe.
But ................

..........the waves? It has


all ways

puzzled me,



................That that thing we did, which was a spell,


Was erased into our lives -
but

the next day:


We made it! There were millions and gifts and guests;

And I caught out a lot: laughing, but, they, took:

Absolutely

no notice.

So I went right to the top!



You were so proud!



You looked at me!




Yes,




and then I



returned to the then-now




And those bloody Woody-Wood-Pecker birds


With their early morning madness.


They


clacked.



They awoke


and


it seemed


all


surreal and giggly



About a meaning they kept from me. . . So I,



Asked for assistance, but


there was




no one,

.....................................Poetry Reading

Poetry Reading - Blockhouse Bay Library 2 pm this Thursday I will be giving a poetry reading at the BLOCKHOUSE BAY LIBRARY at - 578 Blockhouse Bay Road - (Auckland NZ) this Thursday (18th Sept) at 2 pm as a part of The NZ Book Week.( Ph for Library 374 1311.)


All welcome - free. It will probably be a small event. I will read poems from various stages of my "age and life" and from my three books.


Perhaps it could be an opportunity to discuss what literature is and what poetry is etc in light of my EYELIGHT (" 'infinite" poem' " based) project (and the many developments of other writers - "postmodern" or political, lyrical, nihilistic, sad happy, deluded, or philosophical - or just
"beautiful, (how do we define "beauty"?)), or other - and the shifting nature of art or literature in the "modern" world or an opportunity to catch up, abuse me, or be nice to me; have a cup of tea or whatever and so on...

Titus and possibly Maps will be there or there in spirit if not substance - and my latest book "Conversation with a Stone" should be there...


The Immortal Jack Ross will be there in spirit and glory of his great (if absent) personage - and will caste his Great Beneficence on the event...

Giordono Bruno, Raymond Lull, Eva Android, Marx, E P Thomson, Eros, Levinas, Derrida, Barthes, Sam Hunt, Bill Manhire, Hitler, John Key (he is a great poetaster I am told), Orwell, and Ovid - or their shades - all may also put in an appearance...

You. Yes, you - to you I speak. You

Will never have the knowing. No, no,

Never shalt thou know: for in your gloomed

Skull a pantomime is played -

Outside where beats down heat

There is no watering place, no holing up -

No where can be found the leastest trickle

In the rocks of gods

In the garden of rocks

In the harsh unshadowed land

Where I have forgotten

How this strange conjunction

Of striding morning shadows,

Inverting rising in meeting,

Was revealed to me - in a handful of-

A man with a blazing brow

Showed me fear in transformal

Primal dust, until, after the rain of red rocks,

I writhed in Wagnerian,

"Room 115 is my favrite room"





















What clutches grows inverted trees

Wierdly from all this ashly crumblings?










No where can be found the leastest trickle

In the rocks of gods

In the garden of rocks

In the harsh unshadowed land

Where I have forgotten

The Waste Land


April is the uncruellest month,

Breeding mixing stirring feeding

Lilacs land memory and desire

And roots are dull with springing rain.

We were caught in a coffee quandry,

Tranced into the Hoftgarten,

Where sunlight and sun surprised, smiled,

And let us chat in Russin unt Deutsch,

Unt coffee flowed into ourselves,

Warming firing, and we stopped,

When April, with flaming hair,

Broke out in joyous French. Fear

Caught me by my tickling scrotum.

He, she adjured me to calm

As we sped on the sled into the terrible dark -

High high in snow freedom.

Deep at night I invade my books

And Westward walk

In that awful other season. Some go North.


What clutches grows inverted trees

Wierdly from all this ashly crumblings?

You. Yes, you - to you I speak. You

Will never have the knowing. No, no,

Never shalt thou know: for in your gloomed

Skull a pantomime is played -

Outside where beats down heat

There is no watering place, no holing up -

No where can be found the leastest trickle

In the rocks of gods

In the garden of rocks

In the harsh unshadowed land

Where I have forgotten

How this strange conjunction

Of striding morning shadows,

Inverting rising in meeting,

Was revealed to me - in a handful of-

A man with a blazing brow

Showed me fear in transformal

Primal dust, until, after the rain of red rocks,

I writhed in Wagnerian,

That Hitler (and I) so loved. (But we both

loved/feared grails and waters.)

We reappeared at the ending time,

And all applauded -

The the dew sparkling hyacinths

Had you shine with smile,

And another god impelled this All-

And vast the silence, the heart:

The sacred sacred heart

- We were unsighted by this fire.

Vast sea, empty sea -

In your green visions we untounged

- Searched we our hearts,

Nothing knowing of the core, the centre,

The nexus of stasis,

The thunder of the drumming of unsound.

Das Meer is unt Leer,

Unt Lear was crazed with blinded knowing -

(This much we know, as we are darked.)


Madam Sosostris had the flu,

And coughed like a wicked witch.

She was a bitch and played her fateful cards.

All the ages, all meanings, took on new life,

Including Thunder, way over Dark Mountain,

And we crouched who fell

Back into our fervent religious shell.

(I Tiresias, drinker of waking blood,

Wither in all dimensions, being regenerative

Corpsed was Clov's word -)

Uga uga jug jug jug.

Life life life - sex is fill of complex -

Broken bottles and Cleopatric rats.

Fear The Dog, Watch It Phlebas. .

Da Dadhatta Dhayaardvam.

Raise to 3 powers Shantih.
