but will you provide me a shape to return in?
pile up of hanging-outs now listen
stark pitiless excuse my
thrill seeker's allowance
all blown on shuttlebus tracing narrative defects through grey pylons wet fields
back to fragrant ash Atlantic Electric site
stable temp bright jarring proof too accurate searchlight
whoever sees radiant boy must leap from church tower disappear
in blue flame remember inside the flame is a little black train
moonlight serenade like making fun
out of the mouths of insects so would rather let
it disappear
& take long way home rather than pass here at midnight
likeable low-key us equivocators don't push to the front we
have eye like a sword / a posthumously
compiled boxset of session guitar outtakes
little valley carpet of short moorland turf
gorse heath edges very lovely
but long red summer who will
provide me a shape to return in?
jelly blade marginal grip a head cut loose
gemini mesh metro clamp hard
magic hidden link sharpening can
see it switchick single
nerve switchick looking back terminal
cluster makeway i am cheapo
sandblast incandescent
dark blue hope burst
lead
year birth right brave show
flourescent pixie-led
panic-switch absence
sculptural spill
dorcus rough draft
happening upon bright
immersion sea curve cracked
unmoved@standstill
promiscuous receptor
calling kettle back so i submit
touch-the-hat request relating to ominous stargate
bloody benefit of the fucking doubt
towards supply shredown neither drone
culture nor off-the-grid evangelical
ham info-blast charred 5 in 10
sentences end in remorse kissing you
baby like great wall of china am
your 1-stop shop for
cake decor in
central scar circle middle
of dead left for
nowhere but as & when
freehold transfer of public restrooms gets agreed i'll serenade you triple threat
'cos the twist has gone babe gone
away left me
with delusions delusions
of reference once swift brown
rough shape stood up 'mongst heavy
gorsebush rushed glided
through me into
rushing stream all time slow red smooth slob crawls out of stream passes me rolling into gorse
