2 poems by Adrian Manning
.
FOR BUKOWSKI WITH THE GRATITUDE OF THE CENTURIES
.
for the words
for the life lived
that still engulfs us
the flames of the fire
.
for the mistakes
for the courage to
make them
where others fear
the blood in the vein
.
for the ease of the blackbird
so easily mistaken
.
for the imitators
especially those that grow
their own voice
after failing to be Bukowski
.
for giving a voice
to the mute
.
for the words
for ever
.

IN YR MIDNIGHT HEAVEN
.
storm force
translations w/
blue-eyed snow &
deserts of dusk –
neon talk silenced
in all languages
minds w/out speech
tomorrow invaded
by dark rumours
imaginary feelings
in yr
midnight
heaven
we/re far from
home &
wandering in
the night
lost
in broken
longing
seeking whale
bone solutions
