or, Sundial Return
Post Coup Preview Sextet
All of the Hereditary
Peers certainly re-instated,
you bunch snivelling little rats
unable to speak mother tongue.
As for traitor Corbyn, prison
along with Labour Islington.
Are there many bats in the belfry ?
On the upper walk, a sentry.
In the car park, they get ranty.
Long for cuisine in the pantry !
Chrysalis
Returning to sundial zen
through Crisalide of Montale,
you go out of the land of false
consciousness and the avatar
in your hot angelo d'orto
or, corner of kitchen garden
if you have one. Or borrow one.
You do become existential
or, in reverie, littoral
by cuttlefish bones, well astray
re-entering your dry portal.
Here, inaction to no action
al cuore che abdica.
You exist, minus a faction.
John Galsworthy Interlude
Truly, the end of an era
in which the British, class upper
could afford key tall Property
in Hyde Park London, having no
threat from the overseas uber
funding, ballooning the buy tag.
His young women, weirdly modern
and bare, credibly sensual.
The tragic Mansion, Robin Hill
had a viewing of Epsom Down
so clear of London. His 'Preludes'
urban pain poetry equal
to part of T.S. Eliot ;
his Indian Summer, Tennyson.
False Consciousness
No vocal counter-argument
to the horrors, allowed on air.
Living a lie, Establishment.
Last Election result, unfair.
Those inhabiting denial
one day will be put on trial.
Golden Time Sextet
Whispering sweet nothing, she came
and beneath the rose-bush, aflame
in the high afternoon sunlight
golden moments felt kept alight,
to accrue store for tedium
and in the darkening, boredom.
March 11th
Castle Spring, Duino
My father had a Castle Spring
at Trieste, as ADC
to secret General Airey ;
prior, I have told the story.
Did he know Rilke walked on by ?
on high, past his double bedroom.
The era, post War Italy
and the challenger was Tito.
Prior, I have told how young Joan
came down from Vienna, Austria
for the BRCS, to stay.
(They had a bedding honeymoon.)
The worry, Yugoslavia.
Airey controlled the Free City.
The Shortages
Any PM leaving Army
short of ammunition, balmy
thus, liable to be sectioned
then by an Officer questioned.
I On Ian Caws (South 31, 2005)
His writing quite often about
which is out of sight ; deep sea trout
wind might quip, the music haunting
and a 'subject' slant pretending.
II Gratitude (South 29, 2004)
They printed my text Cello Moon
of shadowland, Littlehampton.
Like a cello on glass guiding
an ebony fugue, the moon in...
Condition Of Citizenship
Sing Onward Christian Soldiers
monthly, Corbyn, and Islington
and Camden Council, at folders
to prove your idea of Heaven.

Time Ends
Time ends in the instant gone
and intermittent memory
if you have one, with so little
left. But, hesitant, can be reborn
with a sudden freshness from past
time, and an unbusy era.
Perhaps, then, there is the visitant
from a para world, and she there.
Media can draw you, guilty
of not, free, paying attention.
Going back in time, a return
in time, for a vodka and lime,
in Malaya gin and tonic
for malaria, with quinine.
Camden Voices 1978-90 ed. DL
Maritime Nation : The Sinking
Of The Belgrano (C. Truman).
Silesia Over Dinner ;
Early Dusk. In an empty room...
Friday March 13th on page 39
I Due Punishment Quatrain
Cause : shortage of ammunition,
immediate resignation.
That a cause for celebration.
Leading to inebriation.
II The Imbeciles
Funding your trash human garbage
and barely a tank in the garage.
Of everything, a shortage.
Europa has taken umbrage.
March 13th/14th
March Bird
Vast open weather, cumulus
patchy in time to be joyful
and, strong, you are not where you are.
Resting, the sea is very far.
Changing cloudscape is an escape.
To an augmenting green landscape.
Minority Danger Q
Our Fighting Capability
has been ruined by enemy
within. Harry without pity.
Subject to infertility.
The Enemy Q
They, enemy, opposed to Rome,
still not calling Albion home.
The Government is made of chrome.
They have a corrupted genome.
Study Question
Is there an example Qur'an
set printed in Times New Roman -
Revealed in Arabic
the scripting of the hysteric.
Windy March, Ezra
The Pisan Cantos read again
in part, at The Regent's Park Lake
without paying much attention,
wind gusting the distracted page
of endless jabbing point, mention.
A kaleidoscope ; not a fake.
Deja Vu Tantrum
Re-reading '25 Shutdown,
one damned couplet after couplet
with Surrey Jingles, in triplet -
that repeating, bringing a frown.
March 15th totalement finis
Sur Le Terrace Reprise
Time enough to enjoy the time,
now too much of a luxury
best dealt with in going off-grid
to abandoning all influence.
De nouveau, sur un beau bateau.
Time a deux can be deepening.
You query : who is following.
Better to take Horatian ease.
Cloud La La Land
No Warships to The Gulf he said.
Leaving Mass, I passed a fat, smug
Negro waddling to school, well fed
smirking a benefits' bred fug.
Government gross stupidity...
expect to, stood against a tree.
Camden filling up with brain-dead
to T.S. Eliot unread.
No sense of the priority !
Camden, purge of idiocy.
Sick to death of writing this stuff,
to be blunt, I have had enough.
Best place for that youth, Parade ground
and deprived of all horror sound.

Slow Living
What will the disillusioned do ?
Eat chopped tomatoes garlic stew.
There is never anything new.
That is, until grass a sea blue.
Resiste
Rebel contra stimulation
and spirit falsification
trying to nail your attention.
You, kept in server detention.
Solarity
Moving up and down in a breeze
my brightly sunlit notebook page
and this is line seven, to please.
Empty, the rest may take an age.
Tempus Fugit
So hot, you think you are stealing
sunlight from death, pace Houseman
who urged taking up the morning
warning, grave, no cherry blossom.
Contis Pres De Mimizan
Le soleil couchant, terrible
dans le Ocean vaste d'Aquitaine.
Apres l'hiver, collines de sable.
Vous n'avez pas un fort maison.

MI9 Fury
We would re-calibrate Albion
differently, from 5 and 6,
working for purification
and language, lacking a quick fix.
Doldrums Rant
Living now, entirely pointless
The Orwellian dominant.
Tracked for engage' happiness
Data, the server celebrant.
March 20th
Hiatus Feline
Heaven, in the forsythia
the cement on party wall cracked.
A ginger, a black and white cat
glare at each other on my path.
Smoke Billow
Burnt Shia, a root of terror
drive fires burning in Dubai,
Iran shuddering for Hormuz
the onboard Marine in a haze.
March 21st Saturday morning
Sunday March 22nd at St Johns +
MI5 Failure
To prevent a Muslem Mayor
in Camden, each one a sinner.
They are anti-art, anti life
and a cause of unending strife.
March Risk for Lady Bingham
A grandeur expanse of pale
blue sky, far above House Fenton
to revel in, on a terrace, urn
the wealth come from danger sail.
Destiny, The Younger
The dagger in the kitchen garden
was one of three : Army, Navy
or Church at the heart to stay free,
the call to War a living den.
Privy Council
There is left-wing poison therein
with some, racially impure.
Standing above it, MI9
and our Nordrhein BAOR.
Lowell At Oxford
Reading him was terrifying :
the immediate, the instant.
'I had grown too weighty for print'
when young. Interview, the Review.
No 26 p. 20 pre pb. The Dolphin
(just 1973). My copy marked 1973.
My Tutor berated his 'reverse feet'.

Nota Per Lady B.
Her Kitchen garden, and Orchard

In her Drawing Room, sat with Joan.

Sofa : c 470 ft; The Shard : 1,016 feet
March 22nd 6 pm
New Towns For Idiots
The brain dead leading the brain dead,
few of whom will fight the good fight.
All they want is to be overfed.
How many of them will be white ?
Where are the Churches, you fools, for
Sing : Onward Christian Soldiers !...
March 24th
Canterbury Fakery
The Church of England, A. Wilson
does not exist : it, Anglican.
He spoke Latin, St. Augustine.
What time, sung The Credo Nicene ?
The Green Hotel pace Galsworthy
Never out of cold beef, goosebery
tart, and a dowager or two.
Near Richmond Park, in the Saga.
Hugh Saxby-Truman died near there.
March 25th
All Square
Art, so far apart from custard
and matted scrambled egg, the sword
or slaughtered deer. Or breech rifle.
Yeats mounted the word, ignored drill.
Church Norton
Intimation of the shadow
keener in the air of Selsey,
that screaming seagulls may hallow
unto sun, for longevity.
March 26th
Pork Barrel Politics for City AM
The road to total disaster
and many cannot eat faster.
The answer may be Sandhurst Rule
and the training of public school.
4 AM Terror
Without writing, I am nothing
and ink happy with a biro
for building a Portfolio
and the subject is wave surfing.
As In Ash Wednesday for HG
You can be left with her emerging
though not as The Virgin Mary
but with sail to wave surging,
she for fresh time, signatory.
Beyond Cello Moon
A cause for concern, the angry
bearded drivers of large saloons
with tinted windows, and near spoons
left to abandon with money.
Fields Of Light
From my Progress : in a County..
whatever, typed, happened to them all ?
and composed, I around twenty.
Lines, too long, went into free fall.

Lit Crit For Castle And Cathedral
Skeletal March 27th
Eliot inferred jalousie
for Yeats' gift, to Ezekiel

Problem one : voters too thick to vote.
Then, the incredibly stupid

So, Baronial Rule, of note.

Awful daring of a moment's
surrender, The. Exam test,
for the uber rich flat buyer :
In the violet...Which writer ?
After E Hemingway
' Era of the guerrilla war
and thin missile precision,
outwitting the mania drone
way beyond a Che Guevara.
Larkinesque pace RL
The notionally ordinary
becoming a horror story
verging on some of F Kafka,
provincial in America.

Bench Of Desolation after James
That great amplitude in living
would seem to have gone astray, lost
