Hillfort Mindset
Bring hate, bring nails, wrapped round a horse's tail.
Bring wood, let bark, our huddled band in slatted dark.
Bring carnyx, and shattered sound, a vain hope to gain the higher ground.
Bring forth fear, pure blind zeal, against a world of tempered steel.
A hillfort mindset will prevail, if we close our world the magic fails.

I Saw a Face
I saw a face in a cloud.
I saw a mouth in the sky.

The Spirit
The power centre of the world,
crossworded in star riddled with night.
leylined in leaf has dominion in root,
leylined in leaf has dominion in root,
spark gouged in flesh.
we templum centre our world,
engraved with hope doubt lame we cling.
Limmet nion to rock and stream,
harnessed to the field whittled by straif season,
harnessed to the field whittled by straif season,
harnessed to the field whittled by straf season,
fuel for the spark.
The power centre of the world,
lights our eyes stokes the flame charms the wood,
licks the spirit that fuels the world
is hacked in the soul emblazoned on the sun,
hacked in the soul emblazoned on the sun,
hacked in the soul emblazoned on the sun,
is harvest in the word.

Vonnegut
“Those who believe in tele-kinetics, raise my hand!”
As close to the edge as he could without going over
We are what we pretend to be
Out on the edge you see things you can't see from the centre
Careful what we pretend to be
So sharp, warm, smart and human
A word can pin a star to a night
So warm, sharp and beautiful
A heart can fill a sky
Able to love and be loved and simply love living
We are what we aim to be
Our flaws, needs and guts spilled out to find the absurd heart
Careful what we aim to see
So sharp, warm, smart and human
A word can pin a star to a night
So warm, sharp and beautiful
A heart can fill a sky

Second Witchwords
Ab eb ib ob be bo bi ba
ab tells the heap’s thigh black boulder muscled
whose flex is seasons
eb tells the vault’s tears whose fall from no face
speaks heaven's absence
ib tells blood whose curdle at the sun’s bandage
grows the bones’ wound
ob tells the heap’s eye whose always staring
forbids the sun’s escape
bu tells the heap’s thought, whose substance no substance
whose icon is wind
be tells the bones’ hydraulic palace and prison
whose prism is pain
bo tells night’s ball, earth’s soul, whose silver scar in void
is skin’s lost search
ba tells the cipher name, whose wound and sound
unsayable fuels the stars

Love Must Wax Cold
The rain falls from heaven’s face, dight for the night.
Across the fields, the unlit church. Love must wax cold.
On distant hills their torchlines gleed. What rough beast of Bethlehem spurned?
A thousand years since last I died. Love must wax cold.
Then the Order’s even tenor rent by their transgressions.
Millennial flames belched from heaven’s face, to cast off an old age.
Their flocks from Salvation lost. Man, root and branch did fall into ruin.
The very world had shaken herself to cast off an old age.
And a thousand more since His crown of thorns joined the affray.
His end, nailed on a high broad field—Prepare for the night.
Lucifer fell to earth on a wave of fire; love must wax cold.
Spewed from the earth was I. Prepare for the night.

Berylsinperil
The elderly have taken control
of the old folk’s home. Berylsinperil.
The new elite plan to crank up the heat,
as there’s no tomorrow. Berylsinperil.
This crusted gem, this sceptred nan,
fetid air and mouldering flan. Berylsinperil.
Faith and hope the new logic here.
Grab a blanket, grab a beer. Berylsinperil.

Ready For Rebellion
Burn in the blood, burn in the vein.
Burn in our copper heart, grip the harness rein.
Ready for rebellion. Get ready for rebellion!
Sear in the mind, sear in the brain.
Sear in our iron spleen, steel our solid frame.
Ready for rebellion. Get ready for rebellion!

You Want Some?
Want some? You want some? Everything must go!
Despite a Boaty Mc vote race, the overlords still sit in place. The Great British cake-off , the ‘fuck your own face off’. Everything must go. The new rules are a cinch, ignore the small print, do not flinch. They really just want zero contact, here’s a brand new zero contract. Everything must go. Let’s play a game; Deal, No Deal, no, no, no deal, deal, deal, deal. Can you hear the trumpets call?
Crumbs from a rich man’s table, a little bit of Britain, while you’re able. Not much left, its dirt and fluff, come on down, get the good stuff. Everything must go.
