Dream Poem 94: Liquid Mud

I open my mouth to scream.
And it is choked up with liquid mud.
It fills my mouth and throat, gagging me, stifling my cry.

Victim and victimiser When the whole world is at peace When night has fallen there is God’s face In the stars of the sky In the silhouetted land In my minds eye On the one I love On the one I ignore On the one I give On the one I give not On the one of my children On the two of my children On all of the children Is it my lot to wander gardens Walking barefoot asking pardon? I’m given a choice. Look inside Don’t be blind And Listen. Very. Quiet. Very.  Hard. Concentrate, attend, be present. The victim and the victimiser Are just words and split factions States of being irrelevant to God So forget victimhood, being a victimiser God’s love dissolves, he is the great atomiser Exploder of the false self and selves Clear the decks, throw books from the shelves. God is all in all I am who am Yahweh.

Sea-Fret Fogbank at Start Point

Sea-Fret Fogbank at Start Point: Sea fret fog banks descend on this rocky peninsula, creating their own liminal space. Erasing the past and the future, time becomes a loop. Makes a  tidal island of Start Point.   Once before the fog came, maps were destroyed in the deluge of my grief. I was lost, moorless, drifting and dead calm in a place between land and land.   This time my anchor is this lighthouse built on this rock and the sounding of this fog bell. Sea fret fog descends, but yet I stand firm. I feel my toes grip the moss on the rock.

Do not step out, for I know the cliff drops raggedly to...

St Christina

St Christina: Plastic bags, sea glass and microplastic is consumed by hermit crabs. Is shriving across the sea floor in multi-coloured drifts. The whipped and foaming Sea rushes in and hurries back out crunching pebbles. knit the soles of my feet, with bladderwrack and bottles that I might walk on water. I am bathed with incomprehension at the wild beauty, the raw force of the waves. I am parched from over-salination, like a beached and salted cod choked with too much land. The sea laps at my legs, soaks through the broderie anglaise of my paper-thin veneer of respectability. As the Hanging Rock girls erased in the setting sun never to be seen again. My hat flies backwards off my head, tossing Mr Softee hair into my eyes, dissolving my façade of decorousness as I strip to my costume. Feel the brute strength of the riptide drag and pull, over balance and push at my computer-weakened body. Tide pools of tiredness wash back into the sea leaving me refreshed...
