Reading Martin Chuzzlewit and it's fascinating how relevant the American characters are. Hannibal Chollop constantly talks of freedom but threatens to kill someone who makes an honest observation that's disparaging to America. He'd be MAGA for certain. 🙂

Without prompting
the massive dish of
the radio telescope
turned towards Mars
and waited.
Inexplicably
the sounds of Bowie filled
the air, quiet at first then
increasingly louder until
the whole building shook -
The scientists fled in terror.

Her ivory skin
flush with holy fever
I sacrifice upon
her flesh formed altar
and once entwined
on ancient runes we
fuck until we reach heaven.

Saltwater on my tongue,
as your weight settles over me
sharp rocks cut into my back.
Your voice had easily lured me in,
now I'm drowning in your eyes
as you fucking ruin me completely.

There was a wild look in his eyes and a pain in my shoulders from where he gripped me so fiercely.
"We have to fight fire with fire," he screamed in my face.
I frowned. "Fight fire with water, surely?"

I wandered lonely
as a cloud -
accept I didn't
because this
is England
and a lonely cloud
is so suspicious
that it would have
to be captured
in order to be
studied to make sure
it isn't some kind
of plot devised
by the French.
