A Castle 3
     
     
                Humankind

     I saw a pigeon in the nave
then two, at St Jude-on-the-Hill
wander, then ponder on the chequer-
board flooring, and for God they crave
or do they. My life is downhill.
     From monkey, to Latin grammar.
                         *
     I wanted to read more Montale
yet again, by Robert Lowell
such as News from Mount Amiata
or, The Coast Guard House to behave
in which I saw Harriet rave.
     Could not glisten her, to sex slave.
                         *
     Did not tumble with Brigida
     full black cotton in the drama

cf  The Shorewatchers' House (Judy
Upton 1996) seen at The Red Room
on 24 October 1995. Brigida was
played by Harriet Keevil. Directed
by Lisa Goldman. Setting: a coastal
village, the nineties. Near nuclear.
Nik and Brigida discovered on rug..
Persian. Cf Bradwell-on-Sea then

The Last Summer  
after Pasternak

     Will there be another Summer,
the question on many a mind
along with the death of humankind
     to Revolution in Russia.
                     *
     Intelligence Artificial
fabricant, the superficial.
Red Bot may start murdering bot
     in the path of the sullen Trot.
                                    
      Epstein Limerick

     He ran a quasi-Bordello 
with everyone saying hello !
What the price of fellatio
     Is it far better than solo.

So he was strangled. Saw too much,
now never to walk with a crutch.

       J' Accuse for Liberty + 5

     Certain dark parties in my ken
are 'Russian sleepers'. Come the Den
for those hard-captured in The Coup
      MI9 will deep question you.

February 10th finito
   
      Starmer Howler  for Ineos

     Fool, a mandate for idiocy.
Cope to stop the bastards breeding.
Who excel at stupidity.
You, staggering inanity,
ready, arrested by Army.
What, in the sound of rank howling.
Government by the appalling,
noisy with schoolyard name calling.
They know not cost of borrowing
and fickle Quantitative easing.
Too much money garners mating
and watching Strictly Come Dancing.

     Under the East End, a Fatberg
     too many, like a doom Iceberg.

      Demo Hell  after Auden

     The people no longer exist.
All they want is a game of whist
or equivalent, be wistful
     the multi-racial people.

     A few still like to dance The Twist
    and crave dollars by the fistful.

February 11th fin
   
     Guardian Angel (May 1978)

     
My car lay spun a full circle.
Behind me, the tank of petrol
before the boot, horizontal
filled with ten gallons in Watford.
Coming to, a cassette still playing,
I managed to climb out.
                                      Metal
above the full tank lay buckled
an inch or so, but the frame had
held. There had been no fireball.
                       *
Three days earlier, my father dead.
Summoned, I was beside his bed
in the Seventh King Edward.
I was no longer up at Oxford
and lived in Clapham for part bed. 

      Catherine Trauma

      In retrospect, I was at l'abime
and little seemed a helpful scheme,
and sad mother was penniless.
The crash left a girl in distress :
marriage had been optional,
but my spine broke the conjugal
to her satisfaction. Testing
rayed a trapped nerve. Any attempt
at operating risked the tent
of paralysis from neck down
fifty fifty. (The Royal Free Shown).
Or, they said, stay with agony
      or pain, no career liberty.

      Fate Apparent

Going through all the disasters,
you find out who are the masters.
Fiona came back to die here,
in Kitchen screamed it, so unfair.

My blood ran cold at her fury,
half walking, post lobotomy.
Helen came here, with a painting,
heard of her wolverine howling,

she a very spiritual 
person said Kate, not casual.
Owned a cottage in The Surrey
Hills, near Hindhead, lit badly.

To recap, the best that can be said
she led me to Rome prior dead.

February 10th

      St Dominics Priory

     Chaplaincy of The Royal Free.
Top floor, looked down on liberty
and we noted the greenery.
I, there, after her brain surgery.
Father had led in the Army.
Loved 'tongues down throats', in West Country.
Had worked pro Lloyds in The City,
known as a personality.      
Watched Twin Towers anniversary,
     for the tumbling dead had pity.

February 11th im late September 2002

      Northumbrian Note

     Durham Cathedral is Norman
and better than a wooden hut,
epic Romanesque achievment
beyond The Pantheon, Roman
in a way, though Northumbrian
beyond our idea of grandeur
for the time, still gathering awe.
     Like Chichester, from Europa.

      'Between The Sheets'

The Lucian Freud Girl In Bed
painted in 1952,
sensational for period
and we often see her anew.
Wide awake, she may remind you,
her you did not meet in a shed.
cf  Lady Caroline Blackwood 

     Defence, Starmer

    The country has been degraded
by invaders. They, be raided.
Look at the terrible East End.
Out there, they are all round the bend.
Where is the Citizenship Testing ?
No need for idiot dozing.
Most trash media, shut down
and limp ambling in Camden Town.

     Onward Christian Soldiers !
and take aim from behind boulders.
If there are Phases of The Moon,
you may be in Last Chance saloon. 

February 13th Friday finis    

               Legal Reminder
      for Stuart Miller and Highbury

     Do claim millions from The Met...
for Conspiracy to pervert
and of Court, Claimant contempt.
Finally, the CPS had nought.
Another guilty one : Maybot.
Attempted murder, not forgot !
Who, bent on revenge ? Hogan-Howe
on coal near Antwerp, SHAEF/Nato
strike-procured by Colonel Guy Long,
      family friend with a sharp tongue.

      Final Hearing brought by 'MET HQ
UNITS' at Highbury Magistrates Court.

     Oxymoronic Come-On

     Freya India, from Essex
with a glowering Saxon stare
but right on Generation Z
     and worrying on lack of sex

     or, worse on slick pornography
     as an alt. in celibacy,
     hard-to-define chastity :
     but what is sex, in Franco glee ? 

Essex Girl promiscuity
and limb, for wandering TV.
