Those who think #tags are shallow
Should read some haiku:
Fragmented image in words.

Mortar and Pestle
Mortar
and pestle
My
Friday night ritual
I've
been crushing on you for years
Dressed
up in your latex suit
The red
light gleaming off your boots
I'll see
you again in Xanadu
The dead
will rise
You'll
see your mother's eyes
For the
first time
Your
lover knocks
Takes
off your prison smock
Cleared
of your crimes
Time is
always relative
The
extract filters through the sieve
I still
feel your lips upon my face
Bitter
as a poison leaf
More
certain than true, just, belief
Darling,
I'm floating your way
The dead
will rise
You'll
see your mother's eyes
For the
first time
Your
lover knocks
Takes
off your prison smock
Cleared
of your crimes
When I
heard you singing late
Rope
held in your hands
My
summer sense migrated
To far
crepuscular lands
Now I
can hear that tune
Sounding
in my dome
The more
I taste of the red moon
The less
I am alone
The
dead will rise
You'll
see your mother's eyes
For the
first time
Your
lover knocks
Takes
off your prison smock
Cleared
of your crimes
The dead
will rise
You'll
see your mother's eyes
For the
first time
Your
lover knocks
They've
picked your mind's last lock
And you
are sublime

Flow My Liquid God
I'm gonna kill it dead
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
Bound by an unseen thread
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
I'm gonna kill it dead
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
Beneath the rains I'm fed
I'm fed, I'm fed
FLOW by churches
FLOW by worship
FLOW by conscience
FLOW
MY LIQUID GOD FLOW
I'm gonna kill it dead
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
Leave it a book unread
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
I'm gonna kill it dead
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
Beneath the rains I'm fed
I'm fed, I'm fed
FLOW by churches
FLOW by worship
FLOW by conscience
FLOW
MY LIQUID GOD FLOW
MY LIQUID GOD FLOW
I'm gonna kill it dead
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
Light flees my bandaged head
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
I'm gonna kill it dead
Kill it dead
Kill it dead
Beneath the rains I'm fed
I'm fed, I'm fed
FLOW by churches
FLOW by worship
FLOW by conscience
FLOW
MY LIQUID GOD FLOW

Roll Forth You Stormy Tide
Roll
Forth You Stormy Tide
Roll
forth you stormy tide
And
wash my mind
Clean
the pollution
From
my stinking life
How
many pink pills
Must
it take?
Before
my rapid
Torrent
reaches a lake
How
many days off
Need I lose?
Need I lose?
I'm
working solely
For
my rent and booze
The
foamy waters rise
Above
my sinking eyes
Soon
I'll be diamond
Or
vodka
Clear
as oxygen
A
stream rolls down the glen
Carrying
my love
Whatever
Whatever
Roll
forth you stormy tide
And
wash my mind
Clean
the pollution
From
my stinking life
How
many friends will leave
Before
it's done?
They
all pack up and
Walk
into the sun
How
long will I reflect
On
misery?
Till
I accept the
Blessings
of the sea
The
foamy waters rise
Above
my sinking eyes
Soon
I'll be diamond
Or
vodka
Clear
as oxygen
A
stream rolls down the glen
Carrying
my love
Whatever
Whatever
Roll
forth you stormy tide
And
wash my mind
Clean
the pollution
From
my stinking life

Four Bloody Hands
Four
Bloody Hands
Let's
become romantic
You can
pet my nervous ticks
Let's
salt each other's sores
Four
bloody hands coated with gore
Let's
become
Let's
become
Let's
become
Let's
become
Let's become a coupling
Please
think of me as a thing
Let's
spike each other's drinks
Four
bloody hands washed in one sink
Let's
become
Let's
become
Let's
become
Let's
become
How can
you be so cynical
Don't
you remember your past?
When the
slightest touch of hers
Gave you
a dopamine blast
How can
you be so cynical
Don't
you remember your life?
Before you shacked up with the bottle
Before you shacked up with the bottle
Before
you took on the knife
How can
you be so cynical?
Well fuck you, that's how.
Well fuck you, that's how.
I did
not choose chastity
I did
not make a vow

21st Century Forest Titan
21st
Century Forest Titan
Buried
alive under the old forest
My
limbs are tendrils curled round roots and stone
While
above the pagans make their naked fest
I
am the spirit of being alone.
Let
fly horns bought at romantic supplies
The
Celtic people dance round their fire
Nipples
like gargoyles for the night flies
Will
shun the existential void's mire
I
hear the pumping of their feet as round
They
leap and caper like faeries or dogs
I
feel the fucking in my deepest sounds
And
hear the oaths made in secluded bogs
I can taste the ecstasy in your piss
Rolling
down my furrows into my streams
I
am too old for these beings yet miss
The
surreal passion that flows like dreams
There
is a prophecy I will awake
But
I do not believe in human rites
I
will stay buried under these old woods
And
under foot of these ecstatic nights.

Bloody Drips
Bloody
Drips
There's something warm as bloody drips
When
we are touching fingertips
And
running through Dunedin ways
With
burning neon for the day,
Where
all about is whirling light
I
think I've drunk enough tonight
To
be my own self undilute
And
tell you that you're more than cute
But
that's just bloody drips and booze
'Cus
being horny's never news
For
all the chemicals we buzz
We're
little more than monkey fuzz
And
though this night is going well
I
know I'll wake up in a smell
That
makes me want to grimly boke
And
so I'm glad we've never poked
For
life is nauseous twisting mass
And
we're reflections in a glass
Of
moulding faces leaking spores
And
that's why I won't taste your ichor.

Sinkhole
Sinkhole
Memory's
as dark as pitch
With a
sinkhole for a head
Well I
try to fill it up
The bottles crowd my bed
The bottles crowd my bed
People
come and go as dreams
Or
nightmares to be drowned
And
drinking alone through the day
Is the
only peace I've found
In my
dreams you're still wriggling
But my
human being has died
And in
the place of myself
This
toxic dump abides
People
come and go as dreams
Or
nightmares to be drowned
And
drinking alone through the day
Is the
only peace I've found
Let me
sleep an alchie's sleep
Bring me
the pill-head's crown
Let me
fall into the world
For
evermore down

As Shadows The Sun Bred
As
Shadows The Sun Bred
Prepared
for
My
night's work
Killing
like
Hare
and Burke
Smothered
till
Blackness
comes
Deep
abyss
I'm
your son
In
my dream
Altar's
laid
Virgin's
called
To
the blade
Sacrosanct
Murder
scene
Rubbed
down with
Vaseline
Fools
fools fools you bloody fools are gonna die
Fools
fools fools drooling fools
A
lesson
In
justice
A
talent
You'll
witness
As
shadows
The
sun bred
We'll
be cast
By
hatred
Worship
my
Collection
Waiting
for
Perdition
Missing
folk
Some
surprise
In
a blink
Of
my eye
Once
you pass
Through
death's jaw
Stripped
to bones
By
my saw
Early
morn
Surgery
We'll
be cured
You
and me
Fools fools fools you bloody fools are gonna die
Fools
fools fools drooling fools
A
lesson
In
justice
A
talent
You'll
witness
As
shadows
The
sun bred
We'll
be cast
By
hatred
Like
echoes
A voice rings
A voice rings
You'll
vibrate
On
my strings
As
day breaks
So
will you
Stood
in light
I'll
be new
Fools
fools fools you bloody fools are gonna die
Fools
fools fools drooling fools

Thousand Year Syntax Tree
Thousand
Year Syntax Tree
Subconscious
automatic membrane pulse
Aphasic
mumbled belief in choice
A
thousand year syntax tree
Dropping
nodes sporadically
Recursive
scan through the grammar
Beating
iron with a hammer
Till
it comes, total control
And the beast has crept out from its hole
And the beast has crept out from its hole
Its
muzzle digging for the fruit
The
one obsession claims the brute
With
reddened eyes and shredded paws
The
blood drips slowly from its claws
Taking
control through sacrifice
To
jolt the wheel and load the dice
Erase
compassion, halt your sighs
And
fix the dealer with your eyes

Waster
Waster
Waste
shoots down municipal tunnels
Gargles
through holes
Is
stirred with chemicals till sterile
Then pumped into the waters
Then pumped into the waters
I dwell on the thought that my molecules
Will
return pristine to the biosphere
The recycling gives me comfort
The recycling gives me comfort
I
will become waste too

Opioid Receptor
Opioid
Receptor
I
feel those endorphins exploding now
Roaring
up my spine
The
blackened sea dividing
right before my bow
Now
the ocean's mine
My
skin is falling off like a banana peel
In
this caustic tank
The
rush that follows suffering on its heel
Spins
my cogs and cranks
We
all try to touch them in so many ways
Some
of us take drugs
Your
brain produces chemicals every day
We're
living as bugs
You
can stop the paranoia hammering in
As
you grab the knife
Write
yourself a love poem in your skin
Seduce yourself with life
Seduce yourself with life

Your Love Has Been Cut
Your
Love Has Been Cut
Your
love has been cut with inactive dust
And when
I take a line this thickening rust
On my
heart doesn't crack so thin is the dope
Yet my need for it is wrapped around me like rope
Yet my need for it is wrapped around me like rope
In rings
and in knots I wait for the waves
Of
dopamine shots for I am a slave
To
euphoria, the prime mortal bliss
That I
do not feel in the void of your kiss
