Barcelona

The ship sails East on a Winter's evening.

Starboard lay bound a man-child.

Eyes gouged out by the crows,

Cheeks eaten by the rot.

Barcelona, 

The city of the dead.

The lucky ones die,

The others come back to life.

The Lightroom

I can hear the floorboards creaking under your weight.

Your foot crunching the leaves, shriveled and decaying on the ground.

That same aftershave you put on before you left,

It still lingers on.

Erratic Behaviour

Eat The Kids

Children beyond this point shall be devoured. 

Their flesh to power the belly of the shape shifting beast.

Their bones litter the grounds like twigs; crunching underfoot. 

Their names forgotten; lost in the ether.

Erratic Behaviour

Detour

Pause.

Hold your breath.

Remove the goggles.

Let it go.

Free falling.

Not left,

Not right.

Follow the flow.

Road block.

Nowhere to go.

Turn back now,

Or take a detour.

Erratic Behaviour

Post Human

Please cut here.

Carefully open outer packaging to reveal a small black pouch.

Handle the pouch gently in one hand,

Prepare your other hand for insertion.

Lightly fold back the creased skin.

Smoothen it with the moist cloth provided.

You should now begin to witness its development.

Watch it pulsate and reverberate.

For exactly 7 years, you shall carry it.

It should never be removed, regardless of circumstances.

If you die, it dies.

If it dies, we will all die.

We will all die.

* * * 

Can the dead be slain?

What happens after death?

What happens to humanity?

At the verge;

We are Post Human.

Fade To Black

Shredding tyres in the dark,

Spinning, spinning.

I felt my cadence dropping,

Ahead I see the park.

Dropping low, I swerved and wound around the gnarly ancients.

A strange pressing atmosphere in the setting,

My blood chugged sluggishly to my brain,

The heat weaning off my veins.

A sudden wave of stillness hit me.

Time slowed to a snail's pace.

I could hear the whisper of the wind in my ear,

A peculiar rasping voice scratching through the air.

I could smell bacon and eggs!

Fried to a crisp, with no waste left to spare.

Cardamon, oregano and a hint of rosemary,

My my... It's quite a party down there.

Exiting the tunnel of darkness was a spark.

Progressing into a flame then a blinding start.

The faster I spun, the closer it got.

Why! Dear sir, that is a mightily illuminating light.

Curiosity scratched within me, 

Like a creature yearning to break free.

I had to travel past and beyond the light,

I want to know what was behind that cree.

Faster and faster till I feel no more.

Lightness washed upon me as I lifted off the handlebars.

The stagnant cold air felt warm for once,

As I hurtled gracefully without a care.

Dear sirs, do you have any bacon and eggs to spare?

Erratic Behaviour

Pace

I feel that I'm being watched.

I can feel it.

Eyes boring into my back,

Shifting shadows skittering around my feet.

The pressure from breaths swamping me,

Forcing the last of the oxygen from my perforated lungs.

Adrenaline pumping through my sluggish veins.

The Universe watches my pace,

Whilst I do my best to set the world ablaze.

I don't know whether victory awaits,

But I have to do this; one way or another.

I race on along the white painted edge.

Never once stopping to hesitate for air.

Eyes trained on me in the final leg.

Nothing can stop me now;

Except...

Salt.

Erratic Behaviour

Sinew

The beauty in death.

Clamouring for a hand in pride.

There is no honour, guilt, nor shame.

An end to a legacy;

Feeding yours to mine.

Erratic Behaviour

Bust

Peek at her bust.

Sleek and sultry to the core.

Her smoothness flows unparalleled,

Her juices taste; oh so, so.

Erratic Behaviour

Fleet

Blood on the carpet,

Soaking and staining.

Seeping through the hairline cracks between the hollow cavities,

Beneath them, it feeds.

Pale and drained,

She stumbles then falls.

Mumbling gibberish about the land of the lost,

Hailing from the far reaches of the unforgiving plains.

A symphony of colours erupt from his orifices.

Peppering the heavens below with life.

All colours unite as white,

All life bleaches to white.

Erratic Behaviour

Red Tide

Let the good man die,

While the bad man passes by;

All the good times fly,

While you sit and cry.

Erratic Behaviour

Contemplation

A princely waft of chips floating dreamily down the aisle, towards me. Staring me down as if I was an opponent, to be.

Wrestling against the sheer bulk of my might, my nostrils flared.

Darting to the right then to the left, its leery eyes glared.

Erratic Behaviour

Bemoan

Rainbows wash away the streaks of hope that linger in the skies.

Broken legacies strewn across the tulip fields.

The crow, the owl, and the dove; peacefully they rest.

On Buddha's left foot.

Erratic Behaviour

Purple Hearts

Littering the streets these little pieces float.

Drifting along the currents,

Washing ashore.

A wave of frothing silt splashes through.

Scatter now puny creatures.

Let God's wrath take it all.

Leaving death, destruction and unforeseeable desolation;

You have done your best.

Erratic Behaviour

Wasted

A flick,

Fluttering.

Twisting in the air,

A breeze pushes it over there.

Tumbling towards the kerb,

Hurtling for impact.

Brace yourselves!

We're going to crash.

Erratic Behaviour

Bony

Roaming the Earth millenniums before,

A bony head rears then falls.

Gods above wrestle to and fro,

Mortals below patiently waiting for a call.

Erratic Behaviour

Wort

St John looks upon his angels and winks,

Radiating charm and wit, he is irresistible.

Charlie looks at his girls and blinks,

Bodily fluids exchange freely and irresponsibly.

Erratic Behaviour

Piping Problems

Bloated with gas,

The body floated.

Groaning and grunting,

Went the two men.

Tailgating up close,

An unknown shady truck.

Screeching to a halt,

A numbing thud.

Fizzing and bubbling,

Liquids emulsify.

Soft moaning be heard,

Loud screaming beyond the pines.

Erratic Behaviour

Little Pink Slit

We all have our cravings, our unspoken and unspeakable fetishes.

We are afraid of judgement by our peers, our society, of the world.

We deny fact and truth, just to lie to ourselves.

We are cowards.

You are a coward. 

I am not one of you.

Hallucinate

Do you see what I see?

There's something in the picture.

Do you see what I see?

There's something there.

Right there.

Do you hear that?

Silently waiting in the shadows of the dark crevices.

Do you hear that?

Someone spoke.

Did you see that?

It moved.

Did you see that?

Are you blind, or is it me?

Did you hear that?

They're speaking again.

Did you hear that?

They're calling to me.

I always go to them.

Always...

Erratic Behaviour

Road To Elysium

Do not hide from me,

I can see you.

Are you in there?

Mother's calling,

Stop playing.

Where are you?

Don't make me go down there.

This is the final call.

Come now.

Erratic Behaviour

Paranoia

Fleeting thoughts racing through,

Senseless buzzing deafeningly loud.

Pressure on your chest although;

You're standing dead awake.

Erratic Behaviour

No Dogs

Leashes turn to lashes,

Whistles to whip.

Conspiracies to conformity,

Freedom to fatalities.

Erratic Behaviour

Mulch

Harvesting,

Processing,

Collecting,

Selecting.

Breaking,

Shedding,

Moulding,

Mulching.
