Military Madness

a white hot pill box on an oily beach in the south of Spain,
wherein youngsters pretend to be soldiers,
defending the old world from an invasion of salted sea dogs,
whose tempered leathered skins,
once ruled the seas and coastlines,
twice ruled the southern plains..

the bodegas now are filled with wine,
gypsies stomp upon the grapes,
such is the scent of Andalusia,
this is my memory,
of the beautiful Senoritas,
dancing Flamenco,
clapping Castanedas,
smiling at me,
a young man,
enthralled
and
in lust

----

untitled

oh no,
don't go
down to the crick,
where rat poison spoils each stick,
and young boys and girls are in a state of joy...

please stay,
whispered the calm of a transient day,
stay your course,
press the love which might be coarse,
play on and enjoy...

trick the mind if you must,
lest you deny your crazy lust,
compounds built in a hippy world,
crazed degenerates in a swirl,
Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    The first one gave me an image of an idealistic communist, hospital orderly who was sent down from Oxford in his final year and pissed off mummy and daddy by going off to fight against Franco in the Spanish Civil War. He's in the tent, rolling some bandages, and WH Auden jumps on him and rides the arse off him. :D


    Cool poems!
