Volume 12 A work In Progress
“Salamander Nymph Cipher Glyph”
1- JEALOUSY- Green with envy These are the tales we’ve had It might make you a bit Jealousy! The apple logo flashes on the wing mirror On the garish green of my car like a bunny! An apple for Paris at the back end of Crowscarer upgraded my iPod finally after the recording of Pantheon Three Muses roll before me the ball roll it before my feet A triune fist in Unity for every Desperate Housewife on our streets To decide where I should take it all To Country To Folk To Metal This is my support- guest violin Scarabs roll across the streets It’s just a gift isn’t it, it’s something we do Perhaps it costs that much to get into Warwickshire too To conquer the United Kingdom Flash us some thigh, Sophie! This is what it’s like when we’re there!
2-SUPREME SORCERESS-
Her territories inked across her back Where the Dark Elves beckon Here there is
nowhere to hide unlike the City’s anonymity Stairway 1,2,3 to Eydon A
Switchback only a mile and a half from Disaster! Supreme Sorceress at the
3- ORION’S BELT-
That belt Serena gave to me is either handlebars, or for chastity! Shaped it
like a Womb, a set of Ovaries, take the Bull by the horns! Skew or slant it
where we are The Steer’s skull circles round my middle A horse from the
Seventh Origin never worked, however... Moonbeams off the Shores of Orion like
Bladerunner, Serena’s present to me Santa on Horseback Dromedary 8th Yard with
Lucy J I want to cement that, Okay, firm it up a bit And Liz and Woodbine again
3 stars in a line Another Vector triangle, or is it Orion’s Belt? Another
Trine, it seems There are two of us in this equation at least At
4- EMPRESS SCALE- Green Goddess Empress of Light Empress Emerald Like the garish green of my new car Like the Wallpaper for all those Oranges Piling into Mission Control in the Kitchen Green shaped like Queen and spelt the same setting off the grass and fields and roads and mud perfectly Like 14 holding this together 14 balls 14th Atu 14 years you and I Colours of the Court Cards For the Quarters For the Elements For the Team shirt Apparently harmless creatures Salami and Brown Bread and Brie- Making Money! Crisps and Nuts and Cards Debauchery! Croissants with Apricot Jam or Pain au Chocolat at the start of a potentially very expensive day Peppers and Cashews in the torn Salad too Steak Chops Bacon and Eggs Chicken Bits last several days!
5- VECTOR- I gallopped down the Beach in Tunisia With the waves lapping from the Sea I offered you a Ruby in Camden Asking you to marry me Two diamonds dropped out from circling the Ruby But that is another story Hephaestus bore witness to it upon your finger I had not yet given it to you by the time of Harem Days It wasn’t until the fourth of June two thousand and six I started writing Crowscarer later On the flight to South Africa I thought “I am really going to do this- I mean it.”
6- GRANOLA BAR DELI- Got my foot in the door Rhymes and Scansion Grab the Rich and tell the poor Heresies and Dialects Languages and Styles 30 Strong in a band My 3000 Strong Who are You? Fifteen hundred have visited the Portal it is true Got to find you to make the story new You eat your vitamins and minerals To find your feet Protein Hungry lust for Meat Send it in from On the Street In a good space you’re very sweet Give to them the pence in change Give the brass to Charity And round it to the nearest Pound or note if you fancy Do at least two things at once Just to save the time Always let you have the last word To save that neck of mine Instant reactions these days make it almost totally painless Leave some food upon your plate to offer to the Gods Lunchtime on Granola Bars as you do Fruit and Nut I chew Save it for later or it’s gone
7- VORTEX- That’s how we go in Four Places- Vortex- Lady Godiva parading naked For we have no money either Electric light in grids show Something ultra-violet Box of CDs Ten blanks to do with as I please Selling it from my car In a different area of my life some of my lot love all that rude sauce I’ve seen that go in Up it comes upon the screen It gives a chance to me The grid in ultra-violet see In the darker back pages Or at the front with plenty of jumping Prawn Surprise most days is what you do Plenty of Salad or Seabass or Smoked Salmon too I’m eating courgettes again because of you Several years later They put me on a minimum wage again A fifth pyramid to find quite soon A collaboration Double your money and go back round again
8- PUTTING IN THOSE FEATURES- Putting in those Features A Fashion Show and Cropredy All the Court Cards are mounted You don’t see much of us You know! And then you do suddenly! Different kinds of Power The Earth and then The City On the Streets of Shame These things scan very differently I was doing something loads more interesting But I can’t remember what it was Repaint my Office in Camouflage Green where the dreaded nails have been It could be A bunch of flowers that CD Curiosity always gets the better of me Silver Disc back street deal bunch of flowers It’s a Steal! Most people buy it just for the hell of it Some people I want them to hear They may have not even heard it yet several days later I will always put it on straight away a new album- make it play! I bought my lovely cottage from a phone box in Oxford Circus to keep away from prying ears So that no-one could hear the deal To give me some Space
9- LOWRIDER- Strange how the Trip works out As the sales are made in which direction And it projects into the Future... Full of Nonsense and Fairy Stories! Gallopping up to the Brow of a Hill in my Lowrider now We’ve carved out another triangle In new colours Turquoise Green and Black What sort of image is that? Four-wheeler means off-road and mud This one growls and purrs
10- PULSE AND
QUIVER- A lead for A tape device A lead for my Nano into the Tower Three
chargers, Nano,
11- GOLDFISH- A goldfish with its 5 second memory Has a longer attention span than me Oh my God! Oh my God! We say! Swims it right past The Guardian Angel’s eyes Wow! A castle in the middle! Then Wow! A castle again! We have seen you build up your Empire Keep the Power two two Pound coins We’re hunting anyway don’t you know Search for a Dollar high or low Hunting with horses and hounds Hunting with guns and dogs Hunting with birds of prey What does that make me? Moosungje... Landlines and Electrics have given up the Chase...
