The eyes are full of grit: long tarmac nightmares and benefit tight-ropes and council tax catastrophes. Oh, the old road is well walked on, by these boots and yours. The shoes which rarely last the journey; at some cross-road somewhere the feet become bare and the walk is made on top of blisters and bunions. The mouth is a canyon of cries and kisses, leading to the throat - a valley of breath. Inhaling in the taste of cigarette smoke and pot noodles; the smell of poppers attacking the nostrils. Nicotine stained fingers linger over the sticky buttons of a cash machine, or travel along the stretch of guitar strings. We

Like Dough

Through the pink lip, the leap, and supple unfunded fire in the damp meadow of us, under the cracked sky scattered with scores of telephone poles; through the magnetic resonance, rattling bones like train tracks, train tracks, (reinterpret that), into mahogany eyes from out of tar-spill pupils, reciprocating, reintegrating, reinventing the romantic meaning of the true rib (tethered directly to the breastbone), in the

Manchester by ink-in-the-doorway, literature

Literature

Manchester

Manchester - you're not the sweaty armpit that I remember, that stank me out looking for fresher flesh. You're not just the rough estate that created chaos around your bricks and pipes and 'go-faster' stripes. Your rain I remember well, that unrelenting wet, maybe I'll get used to it. Oh, how I missed your grit. Your honesty and urban beauty. I left you for another lover, that flat landscape of the south-east, which wooed me with education and pretty middle-class boys, glaring contrast to the rawness of me and my poverty. Manchester, my concrete concubine, you know me. I like to be in the heart of the city, to feel the fizz

Without Grace by larroney, literature

Literature

Without Grace

A soft lilted voice arbitrarily interrupted by the same owner's cutting chuckle, louder and more brutal, the speech a mere cutting of the rosebush of the laugh. His paperlike hands clasped to the knees as though in this grasp lies his grip on such a bewildering reality. Behind the small mirrors of his glasses are eyes of a one-pointedness rare among beasts, and sticking out above are the grey brushes of his eyebrows caught in a continual oscillation between disdain and surprise. He is wrapped up warm, out of fear of impending death; his hands shake a death-rattle almost audible. Placing his gaze upon me with care, he makes his decree: 'I

Unsatisfied

Here I lie - One vulnerable ear to the marble silk of galaxies. Even though Your figure is an act of miracle meteors raining on the soft, shocked retina, the valleys between your eyes and mouth a dazzling constellation, Your lullaby voice a play of centered orbits carved around me, Even though the slow breath of you is the many pulsing gases, bright beyond the fire of any human glint, I am, firstly, a sacred satellite for the cosmic murmurs of something grander.

My Bio

Welcome to word land.. This is my account dedicated to lexical love.

I am ink_in_the_doorway over on instagram too where I post sketches and things go look with your eyes!

And if you like old movies I'm doing a blog type review thing for as much of "The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film" as I possibly can. It's going to take me about ten years to make my way through them, but this is the link anyway: blinkingneons.wordpress.com

Also, larroney came up with idea to start a group dedicated to cut-up/altered poetry (you know, like the book deletion/scribbling out words/or cutting up pages and putting them back together to make something new) and I'm co-admin for that. If you are a fellow cutter-upper or book defacer, come join us over here: DailyPoetics

I've just signed up to swap-bot if anyone wants to add me and swap stuff? I'm inkinthedoorway over there too.

Also, me and a friend made some mewsick, under the band name Japandapops. I did lyrics/guitar/vocals and Chris Richford epstein did everything else, check us out here: japandapops.bandcamp.com/

Hello All, I thought I would let you all know that I've finished my second big deletion project, which was to deface a mormon book. Just gotta scan it in, or take some photies, and then I will pop my favourite bits on DA for your amusement. xxx
