A social site for poets in Sydney.
The best writing hits all meridians, animal migrations,
plant anemophily and integrated circuits, species-[stop]
human senses faculties
[stop] the totalities of codings metaphysical and pre-
codings systemic and subversive Polonium dug from earth
smelling salt to electricity pulse [stop] storm by trap door fin
every page turned is a feast
every king is slaughtered [stop]
the grave digger sighs rivers[stop]
your pen quivers like
[stop]
arrows dipped in oil
[stop] arid-rose-petrichor-
lavender [stop]
a devil on owl-back [stop] the masked imposter entering the
master's chamber with crown apparent or sylvan knife drinking [stop]
oozing rood-blood the quill is
[stop]
clay-legions and timid capture both asphyxiates and allows
[stop] as we eat them like grain and poisoned cups drinking king's rude health
[stop]
the quilled page is the becoming of every heartwing of the
beating [stop] of every hummingbird in a continuity
of whistling photocopies [stop]
every beat of those wings spread
deltae mundii from meditation to ecopoiesis to
[stop] meditation again
Dusty hatted William quiet creek William no birth [stop]
virgin, and your estate's first bed wafting with dark camphor cheeks.
[stop] William! [stop]
the bastard ink is a rolling magnetic field, a compass
needle that founded worlds and fitting laws.
I never want to meet [stop] you unarmed in a dark alleyway
in
Marrickville or on haps [stop] Easter island - may your Prospero
-words wreak [stop] havoc [stop] with all unnamed ships of state, all witches
[stop] and [stop] this animal of cottage industriousness [stop]
