25813 a dream variation


that one
where i can't walk
fast enough
where i claw
at the cracks in the footpath
at the furniture
or at the scenery
to pull or push
myself
forward

and no one
notices

and tonight
it follows that other
recurring vision
where i glide
without walking
levitate forward at will
along corridors
and down stairs
and i usually do this
in private
but today
i'm at work
gliding to see
if anyone
notices

and they don't

and when i wake
i'm touching
spooning
embracing
my love's
celibate
body

For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share

I will care for you
and shed you  
crocodile tears

I will hold you 
and find you 
asylum in hell

I will use you 
and demonise  
dehumanise
and divert you

my refuge
I will outsource 

my responsibilities 
I will export

my hospitality
I will colonise 

your escape
I will sell 

it's what Jesus would do

for at the heart of my faith
is sacrifice
