Brute Rebirth



Greek fire fountains

over the vine twines,

scatter the scalar

and vector the scalers.

I Cluniac 

reformate 

and 

formation

do grab 

the sheaves of stars,

hung on party lines,

bundled in fasci,

paled of settlement,

lockstep lost

and prove their points

through your pierced side

on nights of broken glass.

In contrapasto 

and Franco Falang

we

red and blacked 

the wine soaked 

hills at the foot 

of elephant trailed

peaks.

Our night does

strain to the strength

and breaking cubist

filaments,

in monochromed manger

from the wings 

of proud condor legion 

do 17 E-1 into 

sleepy market days.

What fire and catastrophe

do threaten the ship of state

stove in 

bicameral division?

Under the eye

of the arch autarch

who urges action,

in acrolith image 

we point to the sky

and in the name

of the general will,

stoke the boilers

with bones 

exacted from 

the atomized,

one by one

in total embrace.

re: the islamic alarm clock record mention a blog or two back.

1. i've just realised that if you say scaught it kinda sounds like scott - well duh me - only taken months to work that out

2. as the review mentions, somebody thought your tunes can sound a bit like tom petty - i have thought that too when listening to some of it, brendan benson as well. interestingly, i have no time for the fuck you beatles (most overrated band in the world - along with the entire cannon of reggae and soul) - however i can hear the beatles in the music sometimes and it kinda sounds good - what the fuck is going on, i musta been reading too much of your girl poetry

3. thats a good website - as i was saying to mrs polydora just yesterday - seattle sounds like a good town to go see a band in. if i wasn't skint i'd start planning a trip while i'm still young and hip (some might say 41 is neither of those but i've still got a little juice)

4. days work done, wife kissed, lovely son tucked up contentedly (oh....to have the peace of mind of a ten year old again) in bed, joint smoked, perspective pleasurably altered, good evening to you mr 5 from the seaside.

yeah i love billy really - i know someone who knew him as a youth (he spent a lot of his teenage years living about a mile from where i live. sad fan that i am googled his old address and went and had a look, i can report that like most punks he had a lovely middle class upbringing judging by the house) , they say he was nice but very vain, couldn't pass a shop window without stopping to admire the reflection.
