I Am Another
I am like water,
But I love my daughter,
I am another,
But I love my brother,
My feelings are numb,
But I love my mum,
I don't feel too bad,
I love my dad,
I've got a blister,
But I love my sister,
I am one,
But I love my son.
Poem 3,604
Rent asunder
By dozening coves
The many speckled landscape
Barks an angry hand,
As demon spotted berries
Pupil out from pat, buckled bushes,
The dewlark makes a black hole in the
Sky and serenading dawn breaks like
A bugle through the bleeding countryside.
And I in the middle of my universe,
Representing several echoes, out of a
Dream comes my dozing, LSD mind to crack
The truth of love over
A glistening cup of tea.
Hilton Abstract
Killing time
It ain't no crime
We rhyme in time
Time is an enemy.
As the seconds tick past,
From the future to the past,
How long will it last?
To do the task?
That is all I ask.
Still I write and paint,
Like a prophet and a saint.
It ain't not what it ain't,
I paint inside out and upside down,
I paint old man druggies with a boozey frown.
Bird's Eye Peas
Bird's eye
The third eye,
The eye of a bird
Has to be seen to be heard.
Bird's eye peas,
In the deep freeze,
The buzzing of the bees
In the garden,
The child's den,
A buddha garden-zen,
Fuschias burning bright,
Catching the morning light,
Breakfast on the lawn,
You give a big yawn,
You don't know you're born,
Tomorrow at dawn
You're taking the kids fishing,
Kisses and well-wishing,
The whole weird frisson.
The Dawntreader
The ice was cropping over the lizard,
Like a red-faced, white-bearded wizard,
His eyes ran circles round my skull,
The patchwork lace has faded dull.
The hills all bouncing green,
Valleys split open a nascent seam,
The berries pupil red,
Laser beams around my head.
White clusters of stalactites,
White sound that drenches the senses,
In all my eyes and ears it bites,
Blackbirds lined up on fences.
Blind and searching numbly,
She comes over all comely,
I shine throughout the land,
I died by my own hand.
