Anti - man 88



 

Fitted kitchen contractions, disinfected façades, fake fears.

Electronic reproductions cut lemon fresh impressions as the warder ignites a gas burner.

An Equinox relay: we make contact.

 

Inside our nuts, we promenade in straight lines.

On galley fray these linear platforms yield to her hood,

aching for a domestic filling: a DIY day, set for Drilling.

 

It’s key-time. The shaving mirrors perpetually display

seven seconds to Sunday, delirium sleep is probable, if not certain of all fictions.

E-mail black-spots arrive in the post, orders, going dark in encrypted scullery lockers.

 

Complex sex – le petite morte, her cum face is disfigured:

an affinity is raw-meat on gorge. Fixing death to old masks and casual cadavers,

utensil regulators ration her chattering obscurities.

 

John the strangulator accelerates peak squirt timing,

drowning plants embedded, bogged in remembrance fields:

muck and gore lovers, holy units trudge

under cold covers.

 

Our Carnal cuisine is a mire of sheet camouflage

Lightening’s judder teeth beneath the sheets. Comprehending a wishbone,

torn-in-two separate cuttings. Oven doors slam shut.

 

Inside me, then into you, a sullied golden throne.

I mourn our mess, the human depletion; waste dispose, repose –

unknown.

 

My grit could bud in a split second, given half a chance,

my disordered seed could spill over the edge of any silver table spoon-

full of prospective flesh cables, a non de ploom of seamen

clots on pretty tables.

 

Broken hearts and baby shambles trickle down the inside line of bandy legs:

unwanted Bambi buckling in the woods. Cylinder pistons compel E motion.

 

Her adoration engine is driven thin by honey tipped bullet clips, ejected

With hardcore human heat into menstrual meres bubbling White cells scatter,

‘man on the floor!’ . Female detainees,

It’s all very PC –

BS.

 

Tight-knit wet-rooms cramp G-spot fingers.

Olive spat, whale fat, fat of the goose. Our lips link lies for peace, let loose.

 

This temporal war of words snuffing out pip-squeak pilot lights. I can smell a gas leak.

 ‘In waking there is space less dark’, she whispers: and then –

 

Synthetic flask disregard

On Sunday bombs along

Chromosome child colonnade

A Christian song gone wrong

 

Blind eyes sling kiloton shapes to the wall.

 

Holding hands, we shelter from the leaf-fall,

while saints-row fledglings fall out, once and for all

converging sunspecs devout : Christ-rays. You entice lace.

Collecting tender spasms into a wood cup encased.

You shave and I kiss you there.

 

Our disclosure can be nothing, if not sour.

 

Emulsion coats feathered by stir-fried hairs: ‘did you check the gas?’

 

It's over now and a bucket on either side; cat gut lead weight pendulum swings

 

I'm drifting into thin. I'm dripping into tin.

 

Cold steel kisses this anti-man:

 

It’s over now –

I am lemon fresh

again.

  3. The gas leak motif very well played, as is the more understated Sunday one, the push pull, the degrade of emotion, and of self, all vivid. And the spoken along with the written word make for a chilling totality of experience..the play on rays/raise --well I could go on, but I'd be quoting the whole thing back to you. Excellent stuff, Arron.

  4. Goosebumps. You gave me goosebumps and made my already off-beat heart stutter.

    Tin and lemons... I may avoid my kitchen until I can enter it without sensing a morgue. (She sits, silently stunned, then shakes it off as she imagines a man on the floor)

    Seriously dark, dipping into entrails and scrawling poetry into stainless. Excellent, Arron.

  5. Wow you went all steamy today, for your dverse play, yet in your own way, shining through the dark with a sliver of light at your bay.

    cat gut..nice..haha

  6. Arron, I always find my heart beating faster as I read here. I think I sometimes hold my breath without realizing, too. There are so many lines here that stick to the soul. Dark, intense, amazing.

  7. Well, Aaron, you certainly weave a tightly threaded pattern in this deep tapestry that you have woven...makes my synapses snap more than ususal! Good show and I really enjoyed your depth!

    After that and contemplating it, I'm sure that, "delirium sleep is probable..."

    Thanks for sharing mate!

  8. Ah Love. I could sniff a dozen tubes of its glue (that gas leak!) and still be on my feet, dizzy and shouting Yes. - Brendan

  9. Aaron, you are INCREDIBLE. your work is mad inspiring to me.

  10. Amazing! What a write, and your reading it bought it all so alive, just simply amazing talent!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Oh, my! Arron this is painful! Why anti-man, though? I think this is the most a human being can be. It's vulnerable, coupled with love, lost in so many other things before death...
    I haven't heard the reading, yet. I look forward to it :)

  12. in waking there is space less dark –
    she whispers
    and then… i was carefully balancing on the tapestry of darkness and sex you wove and tried not to fall into your words as i suspected it's going deeper and deeper...and it was and i fell - and it was excellent

  13. Dude, when I first started watching the video I kept thinking you looked like Tom Bakker(my fav doc who) and as you read I got so excited, your refferences are brilliant....

    my fav read of tonight :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. This pulled me right in. reminds me something of ee cummings for some damn reason.

    Great forward drive. the energy here is palatable.

  15. I'm with the young Ezra Pound: a poem should never be far removed from song. Your video clip demonstrates this perfectly. Your rendition accentuated the natural rhythm, which in turn drags the emotions deeper into the experience. Very impressive performance.

  16. I loved your video, in my humble opinion you are improving as a reader. My superlative for you tonight: a plasma fire from within, no hope of extinction. Fully alive verse; impressive as ever.

  17. Arron, I know this is good. Then, why am I so tired after reading it--twice? So much here, man. Yes--MAN...on the floor!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Arron, this is just awesome. The reading blows me away...much more enjoyable to hear this one read because we hear where you pause and emphasize the words. My favorite part in the reading is 'Female detainees- very PC, BS' something about that line...of course I thought it was all engaging. Won't begin to point out stand out lines here...as always there is an abundance of them. Love the way that you've blacked everything out on the blog for this one...really works well with/adds to the effect of your recording.

  19. Dark...intense...steamy...so much here, great!

  21. Wow... quite erotic and raw, intense, lascivious... (clears throat) I like it.

  22. Arron, excellent write. Definitely lot to linger upon here. The sexuality is ripe for sure in here, but seems to be much more hidden beneath, will have to review again later, as I'm sure there is certainly more. The video was well-done, love the alterations you did for the "live" version, a bit of a remix, edit etc.. here and there. As usual you impress the heck out of me with your work. Thanks for the read and the view. Happy Open Link Night

  23. I like the video read.. your eyes, voice and dramatic pauses... gives me the chills.

    Superb share....whew ~

  24. The only thing missing from this is the sign "Genius at Work" What a compelling piece! The imagry here is stamped in my brain. Something to return to again and again. Ya' gave me chills. Need help cleaning that kitchen? Thanks for the thrill! Write on!

  25. A darkly intense piece. Right on the times tho. Brilliant piece.

  26. a total package of raw art. luved the tube play, the words, the many on many images, the creativity, the voice, and commentary you won't hear on the evening news. excellente.

    ReplyDelete
  27. .. a wrench and jolt pendulum... your poetry raches parts of me I didn't know were there.. mesmerising performance Arron.. new dimensions thrown into the broth...

    ReplyDelete
  28. You read and act how I imagine Dickens did the night he died after reading the part of Bill Sykes. Your come face at the end seals your performance, in every sense.

    ReplyDelete
  29. "judder" - I wonder why I don't see that word more often, it's a good one. Your reading/performance is outstanding. Your reading "let's have some fun" made a deep impact on me, and I'm sure this will too. Your new profile pic is great, too. (I'm talking about everything but the poetry, I guess, but I can't claim to have a clear understand of what you're doing.)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh Arron - where to begin.
    this is so perfectly crafted - you have so many images that reach out to smack you in the face with their starkness - I love this one. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Oh man. Dark, reaching, epic, gritty, raw, brilliant in places. Word-use and general phrasing stellar as the norm and the video brings it to life. Excellent recital. Haunting. I keep wanting to say 'could have been a little shorter' with your pieces but when I really engage with most of them, I find there isn't much I'd cut away. It's all prime meat here. I do think though that there's a difference between what's absolutely necessary to the Narrative (and to keeping the poetry of it intact), and more of what sounds great and is brilliantly written. When poems get to a certain length you have to start asking these questions more and more. There is power in brevity and perhaps you might reach even greater heights with some of your longer pieces by pulling out the scalpel.

    Excellent Arron
