Pretend Nothing

12/11/2015

Pretend nothing
not even devotion
for such motive is like a prize bull

even though it is strong
it may yet kill you
should you perceive only its glory

the redeemed motive is death
and life also
twin sisters known to each-other!

though hidden
the gift is in plain sight

each step is born from the previous,
and so on through eternity

Perhaps memories are tainted
when we demand highly of them

distract me! I plead
or worse
'show me how I am free of weakness' 

mirror mirror, on the wall
who is the fairest
me I remember?

If a tadpole does not lose its tale
​it will never become a frog

Doves come and go

Doves come and go,
though you can always leave the window open for them

one can put seed out
they aren't choosy

another option
plant your whole yard full of olive trees
so that all may enjoy resident peace

be wary of the myriad dove sellers
they paint them up, the doves

do not be fooled!
​peace has no mask.

The word need not be

​no man need be a man
no woman need be a woman
no child need be a child
no need be old, young
strong or weak
no one need be beautiful, wise
no one need be ugly, evil
no one need die or live
no beast need be a beast
no devil need be a devil
god need not be god
the word need not be
time need not be
I need not be

For the Wild Boys

For the wild boys

boys old blood weave
crag stone misted
children's fire light eve
deep wood twisted

yet: crows gloating
lost in moss and leaf
skitter skulk crawling
little ones hide heath

tell riddle nights long
huddle secrets shelter
stolen bedding songs
tiny dreaming helpers

dawn dew on deer
trickle chill fresh warm
soft sun slight clear
new shifting yawns

young ones fresh
creep tread wet toes
passed dark cold test
shiver wipe bright nose

The Bullet-Proof Psyche

4/23/2015

0 Comments

 
This video, as with all of my videos, is a response to a particular state of mind I was in. I had just watched a whole lot of police brutality videos on youtube... I'm not even sure why.

I feel an incredible anger and pain at the violence inherent in systems of governance...this video is an expression of the desire to dis-identify with the hierarchy that make it possible.

There is nothing 'rational' about this work, the poetry is stream of consciousness and the video came together around it. I do my utmost not to judge the value of my creative work, leaving it to the past, and moving on to the next project.

*the riot footage is from the Melbourne occupy protests
Bullet Proof Psyche

The invincible psyche of the outcast mighty
fuck you and your drawn out unsightly
graceless and disgusting hierarchy

bring back the old gods of honor and love
fuck you and your shit stained glove
I renounce all material wealth

I renounce all material wealth and, get it,
the consensus media maim-train of fear and pain
this is ended now, I renounce the victim upset

this bullet proof mind is silver and untouchable
and I Identify with that which cannot be said
the end of Michael is the end of the living dead

I send back my name to the burning pillar
fuck you and your disgraceful disintegration
I don't vote and never have, Its a fact

I actively discourage the policy making hypocrisy
shaking the ground with this decided proclamation
up above there are storm clouds gathering

lets define spiritual fulfillment as the right to relax
the integrated psychology expects no reflection
this is because its reclaimed all projections

the whole is a beast unto itself
and the whole world rolls over to the upstart whelp
where is your honor cos mines on my sleeve

I live in the right place, left in the breeze
the authorship of self claimed authority
is wielded like divine sentimentality

breath it out cos the air is free, 
give up the struggle to be somebody
I renounce myself, I die hereby

I've eaten my fears, and blessed my ears
being glorified in immortality
the bullet proof psyche
