A Quantification of Time An Audio Textual Poem by Robin Ouzman Hislop

by

 
A Quantification of Time
 
fragments of the day embodied
in its wake of forgetfulness
towards an edge
 
a return a becoming
an instant of the world
reaching to touch
the whole the less
 
a universe that unfolds me
its solitary stranger
to greet its oncoming rush
 
its image left in doubt
its moment a bonfire
heap of antiquity (audio effect)
where insects scuttle forlorn

Basquiat & Hendrix. An Audio Text Poem by Robin Ouman Hislop

by


 
 

Basquiat  &  Hendrix    you were cheated
out of life by mortals    it wasn't what
you gave   but what they took  as if
you could get high on that poison
they fed you
they didn't leave you an exit
once they'd locked you in
to show what you'd got
				they snatched the hoard
				& lit the building 
with you in 			but you didn't know
how to walk away
they were still your gods
you'd shot down to the providence
where you sought them         where they took you in
ritualised to a myth that sucked 
played you                            that hand that spun to win
where you put your foot in your mouth       sold you out

Dark Sea An AudioTextualPoem by Robin Ouzman Hislop

by

 

                                                                 

                                                                  Dark Sea

What can steal on the march of time

time that has passed time that is to come

on the dark sea of matter

within & without

gravitating       gravitating       gravitating

language is barely sufficient for it

in our mortal transit

in a universe which is forever a phantom face

its unresolved visitations

                                                  touched & untouched

                                                                          my cat mind                    my dog mind

as different as                                      chalk & cheese

it calls for a comment on our mysterious cosmos

in its great indifference to us

which we inhabit rather miraculously more than

the mere mathematics of matrix & fractal

but as self regulating networks together

with the brainless networks

where we may spread our membranous wings

& harvest angels on the dark sea                            within & without

Before. Audio Text Poem by Robin Ouzman Hislop

by

 
Before
 
Over my defeat only her orbit
you will bring me her heart
when from that high state of grace
you were before
you wept before his impassioned face
before what was shared what was lost
before what had taken place had taken place
& that little trick of fate
the doors that open the doors that close
the doors that wait
within that labyrinthian trap
you cannot escape your state
cast that to the winds that howl by chance
to the fields that wave upon a dance
& judge how you perform before the curtain falls
for as Blake decreed the pic axe harms not the worm
& even the stones move free so let the desert be green again
 
( the desert the desert the desert be green be green be green
againagainagain be green again the desert be green again )
