Never Say Die
exit instructions
exit instructions
a suitcase full
of hosepipes
a plastic bucket
blood and anti-freeze
preserved brains
frozen heads
fresh flesh in
a flask
people
clocks of all
ages
designed for
a different time
brought back
in an ambulance to the future
their hope of
returning to proper democracy
the nub - dying quickly enough
the nub - dying quickly enough

Newborn
human dune
grows down with
gravity
stirred by new
life storm
innocence shroud
soft of bare
baby
fresh by earth
and sky
smooth kind fruit
shine moist in
oil
soak cells petal
perfect
limb landscape
fold lay and
rest
turn in mother
mountain
