grabbing Natalka and the Ukrainians
St Barths put all the Ukrainian community on the scanner…
Anna by name, who was asked by the lab to COPY our story exactly was not ashamed when she received sympathy from it, as well as payment…
‘’We know what you Ukrainians have suffered…’’
Raika your friend is being tuned to tell your mother’s stories by the Lab, but she adds a bit of German brutality…with guarantee of being printed..
18.9.03
2a.m.
Because we murdered your father, writer Semen Telewny, we are getting a Ukrainian woman writer to write all your stories, she has orders not to change them, just add a little of her own..
As we make the physical torture heavier on you…possibly we might kill you now, but the Lab prefers you to live in total suffering..
I will not release you from the computer on which you and all you do is prisoner of St Barths until I have added a few more twists of pain and and I do not want admiration for you from anyone, you work must be equaled by everyone.
..and now Maud, Miller and the other jewess of the lab who is using your poems you wrote after visiting Roman Road Synagogue in Leeds, taught by the Rabbi Rothschild, for whom I have packaged your work are safe….
…but these people worked with the Germans…
and is Maria Horobec – Scunthorpe at her level yet..the children of a Jew cathcher of Szalasentgrot, imprisoned by the government, whose both sisters have robbed the little family, tuned by the Lab for their kindness to them.
There is no copywrite in this country anymore if St Barths is involved.
The Lab of Human Research rules the rules and makes the rules.
1.12. 03..Alicia and her Diary C.D another of our thieves, will the Queen decorate her for theft too.
Ms Lipman tells me, ‘’talk about my theft if you want, but sue the Lab. They did it.’’
18st Aug 1989
You need counseling
By another grouch
I wish I hadn’t misused them so badly
Used for medical research as toys
Your Lives now nill and void
Belong to us at research
And all you create
Totally destroyed
Tel them they have volunteered.
No one comprehends the siren of silence
Disturbing in a noisy world of sounds
Distrusting Motives
Disliking Honesty
They changed the first to a second
And then ordered blocks on any further education
They call this prison a programmed life
By research using unseen technology..
Using the worst sadists known to man
And we thought we had them…
All the while they were here.
Child with mothers first:
Using children for science play
Later we all pay
Their lives no longer sacred
HOW MANY OFFENCES HAVE YOU COMMITTED
DOCTOR?
Scotland was not alone in their trial
Therefore we use Abroathe
But Fiona shrugs as they give her work to copy
And guarantee its publication
Be quiet reverberating
clamour from outside
they robbed the old people of every penny
called it the Robe
they gave their life and toil to rebuilding this country
they left them nothing, nothing at all
for what they gave to this island so willingly…
and even murdered the old man
slit his gullet
and called it a practice
will this kill practice….
With the order
Fail everything she does from now…
Eton had picked up our beams of their life
And dare not even talk of what we did to the daughter and kids
Misreading louder messages than any words
Truth from many
Take another atrocities count of Britain
A regular quote from the Lab.
Sima, beast torturer woman of the Lab
Signs the pastels she had stolen from our house
By the Government thieves
Laughs
We hammered them constantly…
And the Barclay’ Bank syphones hundreds
For whom might we ask
To pay for a bogus film the department made?
SWEATER LADY ST BARTHS October 16, 2003
They all give themselves personas hence the silly names..has rewritten some of your work and has sent a soliliquy to a major newspaper with guarantee of print by the Lab..
In America long ago
A lady appeared suddenly on the screen
In proper fashion
They just watched quietly
And did not offend her
Until she died
Impossible in Britain
Where all has to be capitalized on
And programmes impossible
From American folders
Are withdrawn and used
Any weakness or accident
So the circle turns
And everyone then capitalizes
On them…
The Kohl election totally fixed
You were that one
Along with deaths
And watched births
Now the country is run by its most evil
And Ann of the Lab
Is the most powerful woman in the Lab
Smiles and simpers
They gave me the power
They don’t stop me though they have the power
So don’t bother to complain
As another high level death is fixed.
As a new partner is fixed
Anything to break ancient moral laws
In these liberal times..
We’ve seen it all before
So this is what we fled to….
Pitsmoor Donna and Dore Dora from Sheffield Town
Urged by the lab, rob yet again
the Universal plague
the united nations agree to the torture
aged and helpless woman with children
we block and destroy every pathway they take
it is amusing for us to watch
and add a bit of torture
and a bit of robbery
to cover rogue Research
designers of the States used colours
so they must be given every line
by a thoughtless Lab. Just prying
and peeping with a license to kill.
SHUBACA
Girl of the Lab throws all mail into bin, presents for children and grandchildren, letters to different departments of Waterstones with flyers of poetry book..all private mail from America etc..it is now the total prison the Lab said today..Octover 16. 2003
Thoughtless heroics which are vague
A whole family in brutal quarantine
To be used as guinea pigs
To test out lies and sadism.
On air and tongues
The Iraquis play
So had to pay
We do that in America
We peel slowly
It’s not so easy to detect
Just tune ordinary people
To rob
And call rape a new name
Sexing, like it was in Hitler’s camps
Of which my mother had laughed
When I was a child….
But put great care
To the smallest of crimes
Not to do with them….
Encompass desired action
Leper in solitude has reaction
Shouldn’t have taken part
And you would still be safe
In your solitutude
Children’s teevee also watched and took
So one thievie had to write Fairy Stories
Al la Renart
Only bring known sadists and not the clever
To pass and qualify in St Barths Lab
In their stupidity grows their brutality
And we can play a bit longer
They let us hack their bodies to bits
The old octogenarian volunteered St Barths told us
As Jasper tunes the Ambulance men to rob
An octogenarian heroine
And we had thought Hitler was from hell
Megele lives in Jasper
In all of western Human Research..
Can we see all the way from the States?
They did not stop us
It was their fault
All the civil servants
Each P.M. knew
It is not our fault…
We could not commit crime
If they did not take part too
It is not us to blame
It is them
If they destroy us
Their own parts will be found
SEXUAL STRESSERS
Your mother was given sexual stressers by the Lab repeatedly when she was eighty plus..October 16th 2003.
Unable to pierce velvet comfort
Considered ogre in fractions
Child of corners homes full of children grown in traction
Becoming Unacceptable
Adults Screeching for the respectable
“Don’t be seen or heard” type of reformation
Now require the opposite confirmation
A confounding away of orders.
Leave no room to be nor borders
Activating cancers from the highest to the lowest
My Forest Gate friend and angel in disguise dies
Though a sharp East End tongue was her delight
Near give her cancer with her masoids
Get squashed we would like to watch you die
On the screen of pain and sadisms
Called human research
And I once read of cruelty to animals
Which was nothing compared to this….
Squirmishly manoeuvring towards
SO YOU PEOPLE WERE MUGABE’S DEEDS
driven into please record anything
now record these copies as originals
science is the total truth now through all its lies
and Jews of Human Research forgot the past
and how science had caused the holocaust
and who had been there for them
and repeat what mad Hitler had done
and with such relish
and then mourn for their own…
‘now there we have a good arguement from the Prisoner, use it.”
Sustained silences deriving benefit only from within
Introspection abounds
Be decisive as the Deutsche Bank carries out its orders
To thieve from helpless elderly women
As once they had done from jews
Ordered by jews this time
Manifests its withdrawal
Concavenous creation
A hollow world rewards
Followed by all banks
But robbing the poor has such poor rewards
Another lesson in this great trial
To us it seems identical to Hitler’s trial
Yes, the Lords have forgotten
Get educated
brimful with empty laughter meanings
so english
Nothing but pain, give them pain
They saved jews
Give them pain by jews
Just be
removal
Inhabited by unfathonable strangers
Felix adds a new one
Take out her hair by the roots
The queen of evil Anne is going white
The prisoner is not
Remove it by the roots
Distance mirth
endless discussion of triviality
Magnitude reduction diurnal
Living within the care ,
shrinking daily
Shroven death sentence
how
are never quite sure if it was them
Having the right word to touch.
IRAQU AND LADEN
Put yourself forward what gentle reasons
tale of lessons come learn with us the lies
and then your time of weeping will come
you gave us permission to destroy for learning
Taught, to forget preciously recklessly
All those seconds of eternity which are sobs.
Join a religion
Rights of sorrows,
Science takes another aircraft
This time it is the Gulf
The ageless Arab has at last dropped his guard
years robbed, he has returned to the beginning of his learning
Unexplained, beg to be told
Repeatedly quotidian sold
Laden was promised the price not explained
The price was unexpected
As Ethopians say with wisdom
Lie once, lie twice, lie thrice…
And the agony continues from the Master computer
They say with agreement from the Military Supreme
But we have seen all this before
Twice infact Hitler and Stalin
And squint knowingly into the futre
Whilst they unseeing, uncomprehended
Think it is new and watch the crashes
Techniques now already thirty years old
Do something with mute eyes depended
Understanding why unwithered children try
Withering their hopes of death
Immortality
Seeds sown never grown cataclysm
Living within ,you can’t make it a prison
Staying for an outward sign thrown as pristine
Of battered mind bitten we’ve seen all that
Though they torture us constantly
We know who will in the end be defeated
As so many others have been already
So willst though oh great science
Now traveling on the wrong path…
The Royals withdraw their support.
At London Dental Hospital
A young man in a white coat enters a tiny room
with a steel hammer
please go there to take an X-ray
please open your mouth
Smashes four teeth
Walks out in silence
They used to do that in the Soviet too
He looks like the man in the raincoat
At Roman Road Park
When the Livingstone sound thrower
Threw its vilest
At rest not even normal life at the lowest level
permitted
From working on the hospital Ward
test from the debasement sound waves of vulgarity
thought of by Mark who is a criminal
mutters I only intended it for short periods
research took it over the years and years and years
not I…
bent science is given too much information
sadism heaving through torrential jeers from the Lab
Mark banned used again
Expiration shrouded still
The Asians don’t really understand crime
And are perfect
India says the man at Bombay
Is filled with every kind of idiot
And English always find them .
Are you living? We are
On huge salaries
Paid to torment and destroy YOU
Nothing else
For this the tax payer pays us
Bewildered
But we had saved jews..
Unable to turn back the beyond the dragging forward.
Live for gods sake resigned in calm hysteria’s break
Praying for tranquility’s sake cocooned in the impassioned
Anger sustained in wanton cabal Body and wind ballast
You can’t do: mystifying onlookers unable to hear the parody
‘that’ of forces on air waves castigating
of forces on air waves ringing in cordons of avarice.
Giving rise to unending fears astounding.
Another drop out fed by chaos lodged in yesterday.
Too clever by half for tomorrow’s children depreciate
Never mind the dole feel the weight
One doctor feels the weight of his patients testicles
And that too goes onto their internet file of mine
As mini crime waves created by the Germans invited to the Lab cause headaches to the Lords and Councillors..
keeps them in concurrence.
21st Aug 1989 Duty
Abhyasa
It’s a mothers duty to they tell us expounding
to love, to serve, to organize, to ……
Everything with no deviating
All encompassed in one inferior body.
One inferior mind
Or so they tell us blithely
God help you if you can’t promulgate
No excuses, No reasons, definitely no seasons
For any deficiencies, called human.
Martyrs one and all terminate
You mustn’t fail them crewman
With only two hands
(are we octopuses? Or are we even octupii?)
Don’t we try whatever colour.
Whatever creed to do it all.
Unstintingly, Unbegrudgingly
Lab lice and their women kill till we fall.
Free our eyes become taciturn
The skin on our hands is torn and worn
They call that love
……
For this transaction
We get ……what ?
The lowest title of oration
Unmarketable product obsequious
Finally obsolete unless you are good and work with children
Or become a tart for some man’s pleasure fantasies
After they’ve buried us phlegmatically
They might remember precisely
Why is it really love?
Were likely monstrously
Missing our care, our work, our loyalty
Mother, don’t be facetious
Who worked so well so hectically grumbled muttering
You dared to leave them
Worn and maligned by the female Jews
Your worth is valued limpidly
Too late loathsomely
For you impartible
Can’t toil anymore for anyone, anyway.
Finally homage
Deserved facile rest
Who cared anyway
E lucidate a eulogy
8.3.90 You have a child
Mum
Soft, warm, cuddly Mum
Milk in warm bottles worry, exhaustion, panic
Sucking, licking, stroking Do well, exams
Love unlimited,-protection The future, don’t worry
The total world It’ll all work out
Pressure
Mum
brushing, pulling, tugging Mum
shoelaces, buttons, hair Distant, dreamy, untouchable
Behave, -naughty In love every week
Go to bed spots, acne, clothes
Orders abound Don’t be seen
Growing up
Mum Mum
Crying, clinging, fearful Distant, dreamy, untouchable
Schools, strangers, socialisation Quarrels, selfish, why
Don’t go, sit, be silent I know, you don’t
Got to learn Friends, gangs
Discipline voting now.
Mum
Somewhere, far away or near Mum
Too busy, life of my own gone now
Bashing rules to bits tears hidden
Kings of the road I loved you really
Young adulthood Too much to do
Wish you were here
Mum
Living life, making money
Getting on, this way or that
Forging for the future
We all know it all
Developed
Mum
I was so busy, now I remember
Where are you, you’re so small
So old, so helpless now
Forgot you,
Didn’t mean to
Sorry,
That’s life
Are you dead yet
Has the Lab murdered you yet
Though they’ll call it secret manslaughter?
Citta
22.Aug.89
bitter purgings
we walked hand in hand
over the hills
down the dales
of our new city
close as always
for twenty three years
soon after
you walked out
never to return
and never once said why
I asked
Is he still living?
Taking my life
You wrung it out
Having more concern
For that dishcloth
Now I find it was a Lab’s conflict game
not you
now seen they put me into shock
and left the children alone with a sick mother
in a strange city to cope
resigned to what has been
What is to be
It’s all clear
How little we mattered in our dance together
How distant we remained
To you dear husband and father of my children
But the Lab made the decision
After twenty three years of married love
Each up and down we had conquered
we lost it all, in a glance from one Lance
The profit was all yours
Husband, lover, father?
Only repenting
Ego defending
Work excusing
Enployment,
Goy hated returning
Presiding always
So ?
Who says the righteous always win
Was it a sin?
To love my man
For the children to admire their father
It was my job
To keep their childhood happy
We are not jews like the Lab
Who make themselves bleed with no wounds
All just a game to them
You couldn’t feel our grief vibrating
Would you care?
In your immaturity and vehemence
You are the first to be tortured in this way
How often will it be repeated
No human on earth will ever repeat this
How often will science say this we wonder
How often have we heard all this
Concentration camps and gas
And concrete in the womb as this started with
Now I understand what they did
And who created all the royal divorces?
Hitler too played these games with people
The jewish Labs just play them secretly
And are continuing the Auschwitz programmes
Too late dear they use these tools on their own students
The girls lose purity tuned to be used by their bosses
The prize a first and we and I fear not
The torment and terror the Lab applied after that
Are still too evil to explain
But more than evil it’s never been allowed before
Anan Koffie himself signed a false report
Or was it one of his underlings
Who never checks the script
Maybe he cannot even read..
What was the reason developed the laser to its clicking
Beyond any normal mind as they laser everything
Sarah sends death threats via the screen on Friday nights
Leaving me lifting my prayer book high
As we believe God is still stronger than St Barths.
They are our men
who for Gods sake
the men we clothed back then ….
and when she goes mad,
we’ll put her into one of our hospitals
we’ll walk around her bed talking
and then discharge her insane and mad…
Complexions we gave and continue the womb torture charges
Even to this very day often used as she was teaching
In Colleges classes filled with asylum seekers and ethnics
But our beliefs are different as they put over their hidden voices
called love, loyalty, truth
now have only one name
no wrath from us
Just mistrust
Doesn’t it sadden you
All we have shared and hoped
in voice throwers she threw you whore
and anything is possible now
but we are too evil in research to use it for good
I will drive you out of every institution in this country
Why do these people always get such high marks…
We lied to the top nurses too
In order to get you blacked…
There at Newham Hospital
That big red cross still doesn’t mean much
Even over here
We had used you too
We fear justice
And prison awaits us
If you live…
going to the park for an ice cream to draw flowers
grieving my man
Blind
You couldn’t envisage my hands
Aching warily
To touch for verification
Not just to work vacantly
Deaf
You were dead to my sighs
Telling unanimously
Everything too tranquilly
In soundless words
Dumb
You never spoke
Shared thoughts not synopsis
Yourself tyro
We imagined you not wanting us
Son’s traumatized out of their minds
No one cared
No one knew us
When did you actually leave
I was so ill from their Lab computer shock
In milder form they did that to the Princess too
They say it is necessary to tear people apart
I really can’t remember
Except going to find some milk
Somehow I knew my children needed milk and bread
Without a penny you left us tuned by the men at the Lab
But not the first time
But my mother was a long way away
This time she couldn’t feed us
Lacking any knowledge
To guide tentatively
Only to find subsequently
Our picture was painted closing its shutters
Our tally had different meanings
When clarified to synchronize
You left us sleazily
As you came to me
A stranger
And never once explained why...
I still don’t know why you left us.
Pounding the asphalt
Feet ahead with eyes averted
Scurrying rats follow rules with no emotions
No smiles without pleasure
Beaming complications from ware watery suns
Telling other stories.
Now Britain is just a testing ground for the super power
All of us activated
Pain and death...
24.Aug.89
Summary for this nanny
Platonic prop my surrogate sons
Disarrange anguish they feel for me
But bring happiness of a sort back into our home
I know you for terror
Creating no pleasure
Slowed permutations
Since childhood’s freedoms
Torn too early for comprehensions
So long ago, yesterday
Hugging tightly, you squeezed the black night
Shining through each optic nerve
always forgotten from shock after shock
rememberances clear in milky hazes of Laboratory shocks
you followed me round art exhibitions
and stood on the steps of the Tate
Madmen singing London’s pride
Making up stories
Unreal created happenings created by doctors
Freezing anger they call sensing and destroying
Super strong emotional arousers from computer
Never melted pain in searching frenzy
Sincerely yours
I tried to find you
But first I had to feed my children
I run down to the Cathedral for help and bread
The Lab has already been
What do I feed the children
I depended on you for any money
And spent any I earned on you
What to do?
Maxwell asked for my head in plaster
Had grown gentle in age
We come from the same homeland
Not far apart
We knew you well
We each other
Because he knew the truth
He had to die by science
A clear blue night
Of frost and snow
Everything died
Except despair
Turning in circular agony
For that unfindable probing for amusement
They are paid by the State so can play to keep busy
Lost, losing every stanza
Unclear then art brought life slowly to life
Words and forms the saviours all my life
Yet again did their work for me
Where my refugee comrades had despaired and died
My deaths were on the papers and in verse
Did the world itself disintigrate
Or maybe it was me
In deepest memories
Caves filled with more trilling laughter
Healing water of our God’s mind
Breathing living life still
Present, ever dead
Since searching endlessly
Fundamental aroma turned
a sickening joke against all women by new women haters
Nowhere discovered
Life
Restarted so often it is no longer possible
Living again as the lab keeps on trying to kill..

Sheffield University Writers Group..five minute piece
1.Feb.90 Borsch
Borsch all mixed in with beetroot
Day in day out its red hot too
It simmered it boiled A bit of paprika
Thick and tun did We’re Hungarian too—
“Does you good”, mamuschka Never measured
That’s why I’m so strong always mixed
Tatuschka labours the point what can you do
Mamuschka sniffing Each day as you come
Have to cook what he says a home
He’s the boss with its never , ending
Pungent and strong pot—
Changes day by day that pot of borsch
Our pot is altered that haunts me still
According to pay sometime, I think I can
—I can’t bear it smell it stile
after three years or four and taste it too
but we eat it It’ll be with me forever
all the more beetroot follow me wherever I go
cabbage, tomatoes sure dad, I grew on it
fat and pork too —ugh grew sick of the smell of it
and garlic and spices yet.
With onions It was good for us
Good for the blood !! too
Kept us going so long
Through poverty, strife and need
our tradition
till
Today
It’s only a memory
They sell it in restaurants. (so they say)
In delicatessens too
In super posh restaurants
Not for me thank you
I’ll slick to my vegetarian stew
They’re tasteless and smelless
Without the barrack smell and melting tar
And memories of how it was
And good for me too??
25.Aug.89
Mamushka and Tatuschka
Tenor was in every moment
Now turned to gnarled old age
Fearsome was in every glance
Now turned to sadness
No more than a blind notation of the second
Time has eroded ingenious
Shifted power from them to others
Respect sown could not grow
With age…for age
Was mysterious
Deception completed by the filth of politics
Detected then slaughtered again a second time
By experimental medicine
To save those we had saved
In heaving waist lines
Mottled skin and memories which remember silently
Warriors slowed
Arms laid down
Tension threads broken
Allow shocked breathing
Slowing mind forgets its bark
Racing life awaiting death
Tomorrow the children will live somehow
It was the only choice possible then
Has thrown its wand away
Purging all sins
Past and present
Now forgiveness is an easy concept
Sorrow in mellowness
For sunsets that were then
Sunrises that should have been
Actions dictated lost for ever
To be remembered in disproportioned flashes
After the grave
For nothing
For duty
Total deference saved our lives and outside calm
But was that life worth saving
If the memory could only die...
2.Feb.90
a New Illness
I was ill, very ill—so—why?
How do you feel dear?
Now do be honest What did you feel dear?
About those nights as you sat Tell it dearly
All alone About that eternity you lived
Felling the baby moving Not knowing the way,
No where to turn
Stirring No one to blame
In slow movements Having the proof at last
To footsteps No longer fevered imagined
Quickly the proof that hid on a
Passing the time medical card
Waiting, Waiting… Forgetting, forgetting
What do you think dear? You never forget dear?
Do be clear Did you—
About those days as you waited the pain of that moment
All alone The baby inside in revulsion turned
For ever That silence became total
Expecting his ringing call With the trust broken
Telling you Could never be repeated
Knowing his call eyes stopped shining
“Happy to be leaving” that day, dear
Listening, listening and that night endless—
Still hasn’t ended
A Believer 16. 12.90
I believed
An idealist of ideals
I believed
In love
Encompassing
loyalty, tenderness, completeness
I believed
In honesty
A helping hand
held out to all
We are one
Equal in dignity
If not the same
If different in essence
Each given a different name
With each different version
They call belief things like
Religion, Marxism, democracy
I called love belief
I believed in vain
13.Oct.90
Suksmadrsti
Reunite them all
Is what we want most of all
Their revolutions
Which knows no end
Their fodder
Prod and prong
Throw away—
Whist they scream their prayers
To indifferent hungry ears
Bellies blinded by running
We are the experiment
That mistake of all mistakes
Humanities progress
In this worldly obmutescence
Margined with ear-splitting rows
Daily living arthas
Lost touches of reality
Chaotic actions bluster
In ordered unison keels
Ice drop drums cracking
Blackened splintered shavings
All of it will come true
We just put it into code
Those who know..
13.Oct.90 part poem. part lost
We despise you as a Mongrel
I am amazed
I had not realised
That Israel was so pure over here
Israel the people from the Mediterranean
Who still havn’t found their roots
And still hang on their boots
It’s ok, I like Arabs too..
Somewhere they pinched and flinched
Their revolutions
Knows no end
Their fodder
To prod and prong
Throw away—
While they scream their prayers
To hungry ears and sieved bellies
Blinded by running from gunning
That mistake of all mistakes
Humanities progress
Speaking in channels
Senses abscond with sanity
Dumbstruck tongues dilacerated
Phalanx breath fluxes
The terminal civilization
Descry the heels in tanks and gun wheels
Of quaking depth science makes death
Until the fireball ingurgitates
Survival in toto
But the Reform didn’t hurt me...
Religious people are nearly always nice
And it’s necessary to die a billion deaths to provide for life
29.Aug.89 Break down
having felt it all
simulated fogs
The thought and subordination
Experienced every variation
Every nuance of pain
Life and the Lab had taught
An endless lesion of interpretations
Yet now another pain watched by the boys from Spain
Supersedes all others
More poignant, drawing no open sympathy
Waiting which is over
Whilst waiting
Always alone allowing the Lab to hammer unabated
That deepest pain to remove
Immovable, destructive, frustrating
corrupt beyond the imagination
There is no reason visible
—yet—
To continue striving is hollow triumph
on and on ,wondering—why—
Dignity of endless tears harden
Become a wall of pressure
Unreleased resentments no longer needed
Once heroic become Lab rats for their enjoyment
Having no hostile reason, to fall
Why have you gone?
Watching, seeing; the suffering heart
Feeling, hot prickling skins as the media repeats again and again
Sorrowing from all the borrowing
Its appearance
Each second a reminder
After twenty three years
Another day wasted
Another night pasted
I lived more than twice as long
as with you
what they did with my parents!
Along and called it the Robe..
Tinged with regrets for them
Because we had yet again met the Jew
Whom we had saved
Within over crowded city life to hide
Filled with milling crowds of solitariness
Waking each dawn in our refuge of response
feeling sliced under the experimental machine
Betray us for all,
Aimed for only their profits,
seeming not real in amazement
but we gave you life then
why do you do this to us now?
A thundering anxiety within skinny ribs
Hollow dragging beyond each day and year
Measured unreality even the United Nations
Of future goals to future generations
Aware only instinctively as Germans whisper
Survival is no more, no less
But I would not believe them
Not of you..our friends and cousins
They told the truth.
And ashes to ashes
With time, the time has flown
With excruciating time to wait
Replaced by the departed
So lets have male prostitutes
“I meant no wrong”
Punished for nations
Still weeping in the bath as the doctors whisper
That old lecher meyer
And miller, my tears fill oil
Oil replaces stinging soap
Choking life—trying
Threatening
Burn to death then
—die—
and I don’t know why
but we liked your naked body...
27.Aug.89
MANAS at Synagogue
a chance to glance at them at prayer
we saved them then
Scaring, searching faces
Worshipers with easy with cases
Knots swooning , all bigots
Chairs appear more rigid
in the pattern of gods
Undiscovered divinity
Where is your true sign
Put your money where your faith is
To eat the full load
Nothing buried just the goading
Do they see more clearly or am I blind
Reverend piety and fears hover
Strangers gather to pray
And the Cathedral no longer helps
Nor the Priest speaks to children
But we try to believe in them.
Nothing touches the fine
to hear lechers singing
the nuns speak nicely but too gently
without the fear no one senses
Perceiving, sensing insincerity of impossibility
Theologians nightmare,
each religious dream
Turned to shambles
With profit and no lover
We didn’t know women preferred celibacy
Well it isn’t the english gels
Their morality has similarity.
Deity to discover
Representative shackles, to be dispersed
And fundamentalist’s bread is the fastest
Wading through incomprehensions in nests
Of placid spirituality by militant obedience
383 observing laws
From time immemorial bowing
Humanity excluded as cowing
Within that inclusion of belonging
A game of extension turning
Selection and Existentialism
Versus pantheism represented
Unthinkable truths depressing the norm
Dropped chared offerings reflect
cannibalism of missions and holy men
drink of my blood, eat my flesh
eat a nun and you will be holier.
Healer of entrails in tatters
bringer of spare answers spatters
but
never listened to!
Continues with
Deity to discover
in a wiff of formality
in fluted neutrality of many John Kennedys
I am god to you
Feared, humoured, unheard and sometimes pitied
Figure of contempt by all modernity
To teach the within
Thwarted psychology of hopes without any ropes
Misunderstood context of despair
Allowing no parallels
Parables of communists
Ramblings of life in the hereafter
And a truth no one wants to listen to...
The Lab will ask Dana to use this up.
29.Aug.89
WITH A SMILE
White bastards and that Ahmed
Brown enigmatic smile
Saying from nothing dries
Curling tendrils portrayed deep within
A ark glistening eyes
Check the dole and tries
Black market workers fry
Flowing silence cries
Of gibbering Currie
(Lets send our jews,
no one dare upset them
Its uncivilized to be seen anti-semitic)
Silent nod of the head
Understood crop reaction of the mindless
Truth readings and the thermometer splinters as it drops
Another chalk mark, another insult
Compounded wisdom just an insult of submission
Hidden fury disguised with a smile
Shuttered within remission
eye globes never flicker
To be added to that endless list
Treacheries
Multiplying within unspoken fists
disappointed hopes they silently call compensation
Unheard by future recipients
Feelings so damning the chairs shake
In readiness for some future day
Praying for another mistake, quakes
The meaningful roars of scandalized bores
Shocked at the thoughts of a nation turning gently browner
Yet spend a fortune tanning every summer
Frizzing and perming in aping fashion
Playing, toying, blind disgrace using every Muslim
The time of the Muslims tears has started
In warmless puritanical disregard
Excluded red , derided white, tolerated blue
—needed—true?
A dying island race
unadmitted anihalation
a purpose sublime
Unremitting account of debit
Against the passbook of proof
Brotherhood?
Or crime
When needed, only when needed
Easily, instantly discarded love story
Excercised and excused within Christianity
Weird morality seeded
And they always use sex to destroy
tells our sikh Historian on our sub continent
even then within their truth
onwards Christian soldier is meaning less
Ignorance sharing the answer
To wards the master’s accumulation
Its culture a wealth to create and soothe
Not the slow dripping destruction
Of the great queens flames
Burning blazes of indifference
—one day brother
Account will settle
We’ll own all of you —
Nodding our heads in obedience
30.Sept.89
KENNY from Kil KENNY
Another Irish club
A barb from another bard
Crowded blank interest
Appraising the stage
—“Where’s the TEA?”
Performance and performer
—“asks the Priest from his pulpit”
Nodding approval
To another man’s sweat
And the lump dare not complain
Changing their beds in shifts
Pouring messages in the tricklets and bricks
As the whiskey flowed forrgetfulness
Rivulets of experience hidden sorrows
Encapsulated is song for today and tomorrow
Black’s tars stings and sings for everyone
And orange men weep
Thrilling words on fleeting moments
A living race, condemned
A beauteous land penitent
Undestroyable quotations so blatant
Forming passionate pleas without ears
Brits get out all over the world
Within.
In Sheffield’s granite city...
Scribbled is panic—
upon not finding the teaching block
LOST AGAIN
4.Oct.89
1st day of BE’d
Row upon row
Keen and witty
Willing to —what—?
We’ll teach the future
We’ll reach and future
Taught what to teach, ourselves
We’ll blank their thinking
This citizenry to be
With opened pigeon holes
Filled with monitored facts
To produce
The next lot of moduled models
Who’ll perform
Who’ll teach
By Government training
The next layer upon layer
Caged and peppered by pacts
No lateral thought
not permitted thinking
Because we taught them all
By government order
They call it education
4.Oct.89
In the hall
1st day of BE’d
Starting today
I wonder what it is I’m doing.
—I was into thought—but—
battling inside my head is the notion
that big brother has won after all
Telling us how to think yet again
And exactly how to repeat it
Pass it on
Testing
And teachers must look tidy—in suits
Is this a finishing school for big blouses?
All spurned—churned out
To produce the canon fodder for righteous profits
For our future
For our capitalist society
And bribes with airy status
Suddenly I need to protest
Seeing in reality myself
Tied mouth, dumb hands
Immobile
Another product of organized thought
A gory of mind, enslaved, desperate
And I wanted to teach
Thinking, thoughts to mushroom
We just shackle, really
Teaching dominance
Wiping away heeding
free-doom’s freedom
Oh dear and they really are so young
And its all planned already
How many jobs at the end
So give me the child
And I’ll turn him into a willing doley
If it has any originality left
5.Oct.89
by a laughing
Books person of wit
They give me books
Into to library
And books and books
I try to read them all
Hoping to expand
hoping to fill my mind
To blank out all I’ve learnt from living
I feel dejected
I feel stupified
I feel blanketed
I feel frozen solid by so much knowledge!!!
Not for me they told me
all this thinking
Just copy the masters did
that’ll do
everyone jumps on their back
we don’t need thinkers
to spoil our planners
So
For whom are we learning
Who needs all this to live
Or
Do they teach us anti-living
With government preaching
With religions teaching
The massive don’ts
So Here a sermon of won’ts
But stile we need
To read and read
Jsut go out and breed!
4.Oct.89
Despair as day goes on/an first day of BE’d.(P.E)
I watch your words
My typist keeps typing bed for BE’d
Does this mean something?
They sink in
Yet
Understand not a jot and got
I scream for you and you ignore me
This is not my game
They’ll hate me for it I already know
Same old trademarks
She’s haughty, thinks she’s too good
But my thoughts cry with interest lacking
The english girls all complain
In that smarmy way they do
Whilst I just disappear down to the Computer room
For peace and not to be seen
I want to learn—deep thoughts and thinking
I want to learn—to touch words
That excite
That give meaning and forms
To that endless stream of thought
—dictated to by necessity
I sit and listen
And slowly dry out and crumble
—to make a living
mother again—my needs come last.
thereby lost
My learning unimportant
So easily created
Then long ago
Love is a heavy taskmaster
Methinks
Then you find out
You are to so dumb
As they all had you believe..
3.Sept.89
TIMES GONE
Time should have been filled
With words
With images
With thoughts
Encompassed in progress
Within an outward creation
Instead
Daily happenings were tied
To lonely drudgery
To household tasks
To created tenderness
Unnoticed inverted maid
Misses freedom all given with love
Only within the chanters of roving dreams
Daily songs hummed
Wordless sounds of humanity
What cravings were hived
it could have been like
Living on a cloud
Longing for a footstep
Trembling for a voice
wondering about long past
Too late for matured dreams
Too far, all gone too far
Work, like a hapless prison, beckons
Is recompense for nothing
One second , two, in the minutes of life
It seemed.
Just may be
Maybe there might be a moment
Life could soar on wings
And dreams could become more than
Gutteral speculations
And a refugee could use its pen..
For battle and thought
Banished to sleep
That moment gone now forever
The seconds tick frantically
And I used to wake
With those shards teasing as
Daily companions
Pain sharp and clear
No one to tell
No one could see
After nights of horror
The magnitude of vivid incomprehensions
With shudders left deeply tormented
Leaving a pretended forgotten age
Pressing tears of memory
Time renews covering open gashes
With a new skin of different names
A graft that’s impossible to remove
Vale of irony
An endless away of sharpened blades
Performing walzes on bleeding soles
sealing a million satin filled hearts
Bring the only relief
Running on.
9.Sept.89
having been sentenced and sectioned
all of us
secretly
our whole family
for the comfort of criminal government professionals
who never go to the confessional
nor need to confess anything
Become part of our normal world
Who’s more mad?
The mad
Those that think about the mad-
And so they tell us
What the normal world
Induced ideas and norms
Force brain washed lives of indifference
To comprehend an order
Seemingly clear until seeing
Takes over
Depression of tears, hidden
Hearts buried is frustration
And formal capitalism
Adhering to its rules
Profit for something else through normality
Men of loin please join our game
Bending with all the rips and tears
Scarred nature fits its pattern
To lives lost in living
Constitutes
Phenomenal cost of success
Cease to be, be normal
No other way, it has to be
That flew clinging to their normality
Bleating upon battered straws of theology
Tentacles of self realization
For that inner man
Needs expression as succumbing to
Rationality
Logicality
Loses itself to bitter task masters
Of dull useless ache
Modernity over brimmed with contradictory reactions
Twisted echoes of response
Causing inactivity
Endless futures leave reeling mind
And force explosion of incomprehension
Normality achieved.
10.Sept.89
Waning alone at jot
Each autumn attests to the fears
Is tingling crushed awareness
Graying sighs of living
A mourning of endless nights
Evenings cocooned is darkness
Disappearing hazy whispers of yesterdays sunlight
Closing the circle of existence
Leaving only flight
Hidden in artificiality
All its limitations exposed
Fragilities weakened
Man and beast
To instinctive reaction
And child abuse records its horrors
Forwards a closing book
Withered heart beats of warmth
Shrouded stretchings covered
Aligned to musky nature

For chauvinism for flag waving fascism

Archetypal, accursed, nefarious batards

they scream
Can you hear them whimper
From the doss cars as they simper
Not yet gone altogether
My impression spoken to someone else
Resolutions for revolutions of apathy-
Blearily watching, rebuffs which mortify
The movement of a snail
Up dated on latest position-screens
And bottom line as always is nothing decided
And yet another meeting with more
Deputy secretary and
Leaderships and
Meantime more resolutions from
Chairs of corporate services
Attenuating on further possibilities
Desecrations
Redundancies
Redeployments
Issues of outstanding problems sidle into
Consciousness
Unrealistic hopes committed
Indulgent schemes
Inadequate abstentiousness
All appeared on central records
Moderation expected - the eternal
Battle cry shrouded in doubt
Job doesn’t exist
Job not appropriate
Please retain at all costs, engage, hire
Abstruse, commission or enlist
Take on, take up – We say it all - be off
What ever the wording would be
One firm job often is all they need or want
“System doesn’t work at the moment ladies and gentlemen”
Temporary contracts with consequent renewals
After the last contract
Following the last
And before the last, victimization
Yes too, bully, cheat, exploit, all with amiable complacency
Just people who were acquisitive:
are then persecuted, used apprized
If your face fits, invitations pour in
Otherwise not, so negotiate, negate
Stop listening, fight, scream, be heard
You fool
Tread, stamp, march, not for your country for you
Against capping beaurocrats
Who cap through grapevines –friends
The drums holler, anesthetized
Let’s look seriously, look through everything
At these nonentities – in their magnanity
Angels are business, so major speaks
The shop floor to be cleared
Angels removed and profits counted
Compulsory reviews, offers on orders from acheion
And management versus workers
Charlatans of old –
Valuable resource, botchers at work
All in who’s who
Hadn’t appreciated idiosyncratic
Partnerships promising appeasement
Of shady suspicion with more partnerships
In private sectors promising
Community care
Everything is profit making or eradicated
The city appeases
all are challenges
In crumbling schemes of hopeless messes
And it all stinks
As another meeting closes.

Madness Series –
Mary Jane on WARD16.
Were you mad that day Mary Jane
As you strolled the past with lapping tufts
Tearing your hair inside your scalp?
Were you mad as you watched, Mary Jane
With eyes turned into shedding suns
A fog of a fireball inside your head
Yes Mary Jane, were you mad?
They said so Mary Jane
As your blood turned into a box of pins
And the days into needles, punctured all through the night
With tears much larger than life or death
Were you mad?
I cried for you then Mary Jane
As I cry for you now on that some spot
Slowly stroked roots into pivots of hair
For you Mary Jane
And taught you to see words again Mary Jane
Instead of the future’s distant timelessness
It was all a concert of sounds Mary Jane
It shouldn’t have been –
And you had to learn to exist all over again
Without any help as then – you see, don’t you?
For I’m you Mary Jane and you ‘re me
And those punctures have rotted away
We remember it both Mary Jane
That day we went mad.
How do you feel now Mary Jane?
You and I soundlessly
With vibrating handles screaming for help
We’re learning silence again
But Mary Jane
As twilight dawns
The pictures appear once again
And we sit together you and I Mary Jane
Dripping that madness away
Your food became pills Mary Jane
And pills were your food
They kept you up right on your canvas
all through the night
As you lived in your mind far, far away
That world on your thumb print Mary Jane
It’s all splintered in wheels of past days
Yet – Mary Jane – yet, you learnt the whole truth
On that day you went mad.
MY COTTAGE plashet road. E13.
The vacant buses pass
Roman revenge
Brown beech trees
Gooseberries sinking
Dried cracked thorns blinking
Crowns of thistles
Happiness no matter what life brings
As I walk into the door
The Hetman’s four
30th.Sept.89
Snarling, gnashing
Noise of loneliness
Wounds hiding
Imagined tender aspirations
Never came book
Footsteps
Familiar deer handle
Of the beloved
Tenderness and caning
Love
Of the faceless one
With a thousand faces
30.Sept.89
I am a woman
I dreamed as a girl
Of wooing
Of being loved
Shared laughter and chatter
Of holding hands
Along seashores
I dreamed of sharing dreams
Is a world of harsh realities
Of the eternally displaced person
Taught never to demand
Duty and loyalty above all
Gain through world
Misinterpreting
Thought work would equal love
Walked the wedding plank
Not noticing his reality
Only the outward Anglo – Saxon fairness
That longing of every foreigner
Eternally different
The home a shelter, divided
Children foreign too unshared
Distanced separateness a noiseless wall
So different
Neither laughter nor rage
Only barbs
Enforced with superior brow beating
The strangers lot
Learning, their ways are learnt
Their outside coverings
The casing as hard as steel
Allowing no visions or dreams displayed
But still
I am woman
From warm earth which nurtures responses
Its seeds slice lurking within
Frozen in sorrow
Never able to grasp why
15.Dec.89
Breakdown
Unfinished sadness at life
Dull miscomprehension of conceptions
Apprehended
Spewed out
By
Misappropriation
And the weeping sickness
Clinging by living
To drowning ideals
Slice searching
Nov.20th
Breakdown
In this silent world
Brimming with ear splitting rows
Daily living
lost touch to reality
Chaotic actions
In ordered unison
Ear drums cracking into ice drops
Of splintered showings
Called being normal
Speaking in channels
Fleshy cheeks watched
With the bones of successes
Senses flown
Tongues torn
Forcing breath flown
with the last civilization
Finding the heels
A silent quaking deepens
Until the fireball swallows it all whole
15.Dec.89
you’re mad
Living alone is that silent world
Nobody spoke a word
We’re too busy to bother was the excuse
And so are you
Now they ask why I didn’t shout
And
You’re dumb as he walked out of the door
And who kept their lives running so smoothly
I ask
And never a glance who or how
Through sickness or health from any of them
My voice was printed is a thousand verbs
Long lost around the world
Life’s experience is brown envelopes
Exchanged for a million ideals
Conversations with heavens
Sin daily written style
Till – you’re mad they all declared as one
You make no sound
This was my silence which I now declare
21.Nov.89
Bullshit
They distort and contort
Diffusing the very pattern of me
Individuality, ill fitting
Questioned
It’s etched
Messages of the might
Seeking tranquility
And the pharmacists answer

This personal experience
Called making art
Is it imitation
At it loftiest
Elitism gone mad
Does it allow freedom
Freedom to what
The quest of all mankind
Expressing itself
In its textures of shrapnels
And shades of tenor
To hide in
We
Who have refuge

Sitting

Creation
Searching the strands of her pores
Probing her skin
To find
Only ourselves
Reflections
Of pain and joy
Hopelessness
Imortalising life
Whilst she sits
In her chaotic peace
For the oblivion of the human race
22.Nov.89
Under the blazing lights
Its human flesh
Reveals the profanity of living
In dragging truths
And breathless voice
Encumbrant civilization reverant
In non – belief
Revued
Seconds giving each lie
A lifetime’s story
And disorientated thoughts
Its brain washing reputed
By shadows

30.Aug.89
That second before death
Stunted and splintered
Existing only to die
Knowing
Life holds no future
No expectations
Leaves no tender past
Daily grind of automated celibacy
In continued waves of silence
Perished yet never ending
Misunderstanding reasons professed
Is reasonings
Limbo
Giving the lie
Unwished for contracts
Of continuing wash
Daylight formed of necessity
A cry for contact
Why the trials alone
A refugees lament
Grey clouds burning holes into emotions
Tied into grey eyes, keyed into grey skin, staring
Its all pervading sadness
Down beat land
Land of our refuge
If only the sun would shire
Even our pores are turning rusty from damp
Flocking here
Viewing your greatness
Justice
Finite understanding
From clenched anger
Of Churchill’s betrayal
Resentment still burning
As interlopers

He went lovely, did he?
Dear me, lovely and so did they
Soon be forty you sit all alone lovely
How many years and so do I
Three or four you say lost your way lovely
Dear me lovely whilst they all played
Lines around the eyes They’re all got someone lovely
The kids are grown lovely while your heart broke
And his are wandering
Your work is done without a penny lovely
Spent a lifetime lovely you sit and wait
Sorting them out it’s a long wait lovely
Hang on lovely till the grave eats you up
What’ll happen if he goes they didn’t train you lovely
You’ll have nothing lovely that’s for other
Gave it all to them who didn’t give so much
How will you manage lovely They seem to have it all lovely
If you let him go while you seemed to
Go wandering for his youth lovely live in vain
Whilst you’re grown old live now with those memories
That keep you upright
And keep you awake lovely
As the years drag you down
You’re told /you’re too old now lovely
Too old for what
And your time’s passed
What was it all for lovely?
They said it was love –

The day the wall: to Joe
Came down
They’re opened up my homeland
Oh god what will this mean
Can I go see, find out
Become
Will it change me, us
My images, reflections with aged newness
My breast beats savagely on hearing
Home’s like the nearly lover
Who walks across the sleet
Never to ached and bitter sweet
Those memories that could have been
To risk the pain to risk the looking
At what’s been missed and al gone by
Is it too late to dare
Touch histories of scattered memories
Stories of Slovaks made jewish by implication
By Jewesses of no talent by the british
As is the file of lies, lies by implication…
Now the crippling begins, under the Red Cross
A jewish Red Cross with medical fronts…….
- over there time moved on –
Standing stiles in our treads
In mellow warmth of distant past
A land now different to all that was
Where do I come how, belong
These strangers here
Or those strangers there?
6.2.90
Waiting for interview at Northern General
Seconds in between
Its met quite like I thought
All carpets, smiles and tea
This interviewing lark
The tea gets churned is nerves
The smiles turn boiling reds
Now they’re said – yes
Hip hip hurra
Only three more years ahead
You worry and you scurry
Is this really right?
Am I good enough
Will I do
Oh god, should I be here at all
It’s all so doubtful now
Courage courage
It’ll all work out
They haven’t bit you yet
But will you ever qualify
Pass exams, do alright
Well, got to have a go
That’s life
There’s people here and there
It’s like a great big town
A miniscule universe
Within the hospital ground
There’s those in charge
And those below
And those who laugh and cry
And then there’s even some who work
To make the place go round
There teachers, preachers, folks who pray
Those spending their last days
And those who tremble at the might
Of all within their sight
- I’m coming to join them all, I think
To hide within this crowd
I’ll do my bit and moan and groan
Just as they all do here
And beneath it all be filled with faith
About the way to go
I’ve filled my little jug with wee
And answered all their questions
With answers that were right for me –
Can’t except much more than that right now
Given them my honest thoughts
Now they’ll expect my labours too
What makes it all worth while I ask
This work and caring so immense
Well, there’s the wage –
Is that so big?
Eeh, I don’t know, you’ll see
They tell me naught
Watch carefully what I do
Can’t see that tickle in my turn
Excitement hope and a new start
With all I’ve learnt from life’s bashes
To use in service – here –
Can they use flying spirits though ,I ask
Gotta wait and see
When I come back they’ll tell
If I’m worth it or no
Autumn.tern.89.[BED]shades of flokinokinihilipilification
Look what I found is this bucket of mothers
Shining with gold
Cared for coiffeurs
Attired is fashioned articles
And I expected the thinkers
And we’re the strugglers
Instead
Powdered and puffed
Needing interest
To add to their pampered lives –
So what of us
The losers
Well yes, a bit different
It’s all a bit difficult
Its pocket money to them
Three peoples total assets to us
But nevertheless moving mountains
We become
Hoping to teach
Have a profession
Starving to get there
No free roofs of marriage
No luxuries for the children
The LEA thinks – methinks
We belong to the moaners
New Year.89
What are we doing
We artists of live form or colour
Or frightened of
Of disarranging for ever
As we disappear
Hope to live for ever
As obsessive line, form or colour
Obsession for what
What makes us
Who make us
For what purpose
Put our souls on paper
On view to the world
Shouting our emotions
Fleshy syllables in lines and forms – colour
Textures excused by profits
We’ll sell we excuse
It isn’t so, we need to
What
Create in existances name

Whilst Waiting
Waiting on benches at Stratford
Unfortunately
the area I live in
Is ok
But life’s a shit
You know why?
It’s Britain
Hurrah for Britain
Someone
Somewhere
Knows
We sit – on benches
And claim
Fresh claims and general enquiries
To feed
The excecutive
Hail now Marx
Come and help us
Lets raise the flag
Where are we going?
Our next
Appointment
For the system
No one starves
Where - ?
In Britain doze
That’s why we sit
here
Waiting for the officers
What officers
We won the war
We freed Britain
With all our new claims
Join the Army
Join the Dole
Join the Queue
Just don’t ask
For
For what?
What are we asking for
Pray
Do tell us
About what
What’s free about Britain
What’s the percentage
Percentage of what
Black, white, brown
But they only come here
For what
and yellow too
The grand life style of course
of the empire
That’s why we sit here
On our benches
Its compensation
Shit –
What’s this
Hunchbached gargoils
It’s like church
Isn’t it?
There they fed obedience
What dill they give us in
church?
And school
School too
What do they give us
In the wonderful
The wonderful, the wonderful
The wonderful what
Oh yea
The wonderful British establishments
Where they teach
Now my belief is
That –
What’s my belief
I give
What do I give?
I give the dole
Where its at
What?
Where what’s at
We’re society man
We’re society
We’re big and little
And skinny
And fat
And and and and.....
And we went to school
And we went to church
Honest we did
We did
And they taught us
They taught us
Now let me remember
They taught us how to sit on benches
To say
Yes sir
Yes miss
Cause you know it all
Miss – sir
You got it all – right
Sir Sir Sir.....
And I stick your hand – out
For the care
Miss Miss Miss
And
And why aren’t you telling me

Hey, you’re the brain box
You’re the ore who knows it all
You stand up there
All of you
And tell us
On all the benches
That we’ve sat on
Shit sir – miss
Since we were –
I can’t remember anymore when
Pant of your machinery
Your plan

Your great big almighty machine
That sits people on benches
You
Sat us

Benches
All over
Your system
With
Your
Forms
Exams
Orders
And tidy little plans
Of how
YOUR

Should look
Sir – miss
Did you think
How
I’d
Feel
When you spewed me
Out
from your machinery
On to your waste – valve
Did I get it wrong
Sir – miss
Or did you?

SHEEZAN’S DARACH
Visiting the Writers syndicate.
Often clinking
coffee at East Ham
In a café
They don’t collect rubbish anymore
The East end and the streets are
Is yellow grit paved in gold!
Is plastic orange chairs
Is green tea/afloat with bits
Specks of multi – coloured life
Life and lives
Warm skins of dancing cool greys
Dancing is that daunted eternity way
And I am still new
Here
new old way
Winter cloths with pitted teeth
(fake or true) obtained from the dole
no truth here
children conceived and born to feed
with endless opportunities to sigh no
in the rain
in the damp
watching ……for the opportune moment to scream at officials
each stocky feat full of skinny housewives
with their purses bulging with dole
and he? Himself – in their sky – scrapers scraping for the skies
grinning at some sow of a civil servant
is yet another got office,
and she
glistening
like an over decorated got covered Christmas
Tree
Amazing trellis
With the wellies to wade through the dirt
It all goes in mulch
Quite reverently
Seeing the buses pass
Strangers in the night
Trudging like
Ships that parse
Or something like that
He declares he wants his love
Well floured
A man needs a tart to cheer
his worship the dole
Just around the corner at the Muslim pub
On black plastic
And
Jesus watched too watches from below
Lights suggested it all passing
The red lights
Passing by that pink glow
Passing away
Where all sat listening
To plastic creaking
Springs, squeaking
Through rotten walls
Shiny black plastic
Of unknown qualities
Quantity unknown
And the lights flickered over the tombs
Of London
all night long
Drown
Londoners enjoying black plastic
Shiny black plastic
Filled with rubbish
Such a waste
Raised with the sweat of competitive racism
And a million or more
And more millions folk
All perspiring
Into driblets of salty cracked sewers
Jerking spewing out – trash
Mice and rats
Around the blacks
Glassy black plastic realities
Detrimental
Orange green glass cup
Over the bar of differences
We’re
All
Easterners
Local
East Enders, who
What’s local
In London
We
all spit on
the black shiny plastic
Equality pegs longer
the same equally
They’ve changed it all as we watched
Unseeing not caring
Sit again and there’s yet a church
or some one’s house of god
Talk of church windows
Squares of honesty
Latticed with theology
Smelling of breweries
How all its accomplishment
Knowing that Jesus can’t
Visit
Neither
The coloureds preach
To us now and I thought we had damned Jesus to them
Even the temples
And smells of drugs
With their handled virginity
As everyone gives their arm an opinion
Lots of thoughts for others
To peruse over
And eat in sickening knuckles of gristles
Pork or penises
Yes and no’s
Scream through the chattering
Of clattering irony
Shining reflections
To deflect the holy wood never ending
Immigration circular
Movements of the world
Screen at its veins of crunchy marrow
Hollows burning into osteopaths
Chairs
Levered by politicians
Munch in the same skeins
Of baby pale – blue cotton wool clouds
Robust threads
Running through glazed policies
Magnifying goodness
Please welcome to Sheezan
And Imran Kahn
Invites you to his clinic
Or is it restaurant
Is it Halal
Butchers relax
We’re all watching you
Trays piled with magnetized strengths
Sepia smells wafting
Traveling
With taunted restraint
Isolated performers
Anglicization Protected
Stifling the dusty brilliance
Turquoise masses leaning
Blotchy
Held in a net of sun shine leaving
Back
The gauges washes in the grimy waters
the Thames flows in these quarters
Like pee
Life added to yet another
Setting sun

Evaluation of dried leaves
Subject leaders under foot
An afternoon inspiration
Odd writings locked in this room
Consulting bodies air waves
Advisers – teachers tear savers
Organizing and chaneling park lands
Thoughts and actions dark hands
Yes
The melee
Which ignores,
which wanders,
which dawdles
Through it’s all in orders
Deaf as atone to all
This specification and that squeezing
We invoked
What did you say
A future for the few
A life of promise
What promise?
In happiness, I cried out
This king
Of those
Left –
Who’ll never live
Who’ll never know
That glory and honour
Of becoming
Acceptable
Left on the sheep of living
Without a plan
Mathematics of words
Literacy examined
By examination and figures
Sounds of beauty
Music is corporate
Washing the tepid suds
Of artistic depths
We discuss
They tack
So necessary
Without
Such a loss
But dear
oh dear
We could
Paint
Write
Wonder on crispy leaves
- such heroes
are we
Discussing,
talking and
Oh so, so necessary
Minor politicians
One and all
Except me
Rationalize thoughts?
Never
How can you –
Big brother squeezing personalities
Into shape
Herds of manageability
- increased cooperativity
Grey life matter
Given distance, close up
Not me
Black motes
Melodious
Glances
White notes
Secondary dances
Porous, cellulose voices of living
Putting sounds into actions
Protruded debates
Waftings all clarified
Of yesterday’s hopes
Nostalgia and beauty
Combines
On faceless boards
Sad words of rejection
Words
Words of analyzing
Categorizing
Humanity lost it’s touch in numbers
Love words
Words of love
With
Words of hate
Afield listening organisations
With wonderment programmed
Candidates are lumps of flesh
Suddenly turn to life
Emitting their time subject
Sounds of and colour character targeted
Wondorous wonder
How did man aquire
fluctuating musical sounds
Binds them with draw
Overwhelmed tell all
In grunts groans that have of belief become
Lofty wisdom

Distant whispers
Hollow booming
Leaves its marks
Patches of oval reasonings
Opposed voices of action

I wouldn’t have believed it
I’ve got away with it

Khounlivong Cheng’s party
Khounlivong Cheng – Ost str 60.
Cheng visits [Berlin]
Rice sticks
Sticky balls
Of food
And Mao wrote beautiful verse
That politician of dreams
That student of ancient poetry
Fighting a waiting attack
through out the night
In his caves
Cheng knows
Farms are watered
Filled with the blood
Of this philosophy and that
No one wins
Cheng reads
Cold nights
damp mountains
Was it worth it?
eating would
Or was it the power of the mushroom?
The bones rotted
Cheng shivered
Who remembers?
Cheng worries –
Whose bones?
Cheng sits cross legged
cold earth
Alive
Thinks of chrysanthemums
And lives his celibacy
In a strange
strange land
Where they cry
smiling –
Cheng tells
If they see black hair
It’s dangerous.
Cheng reasons
Then they made rope from such black hair
Friends end up in hospital
Beaten like steak
Cared for by the state!
Cheng smiled as he visited
Learned to know
Smiled as we shivered
Read as he smiled
Smiled as we sat
And cried through the telling
Sitting up in hospital
We all sighed
Three years later
A boy was killed
Here on the streets of London
After a football match
A Dutch boy
The hatred never ceases
Because he looked like a German
By a mob of football fans.....

Those dogs
you’re not bad for a German he said
Tho’ I hate them like dogs
Actually
Our German sergeant dug trenches
For all of us
to live
When we refused
There battling for them in Italy
And sat there laughing at him
Soldiers of the Wehrmacht all of us
- he was one hell of a worker!
Actually
Our officer was a dammed efficient guy
Couldn’t fault him
They did miracles
We never got kicked by them
Like the British
Well Scotts Guard kicked us
But I hate Germans
Actually
They’re hard working
Yes and decant
And quiet
But I hate Germans
In the end
a few took my life quite without cause.
In democratic Britain
but I hate the Germans, like dogs!!
He sighed
The Priest, Protestant ofcourse because we are Catholics, who was asked into the Human Research Lab of St Barths to watch the vilest of lewd films for an illegal highly dangerous, banned unofficial programme made by their licensious staff, says….a programme of manipulation and destruction as has never been known before, yet totally secretly…
“however you have written good ideas,” chirped the English man, “good thoughts, I will use them in Sermons.”
And Raika, my childhood friend from Elsham Camp, Lincolnshire, is now tuned to explore every second of our camp life to ensure I cannot talk of any of it. She writes, friend alters and Lab ensures all is printed..
It is considered ‘’revenge’’………yet, hadn’t my mother ensured that over two hundred of their women were fed and kept safe and alive in humane conditions……..
No avenue must be left, no voice will be given to these people we have damaged, destroyed and murdered murmures the Lab.

Prisoner's Game Pt. 2 (Rowaelin)
Part 1
~Rowan~
Rowan didn't think he'd ever been so pissed off in his life.
The only time that even came close was when he lost his first and only court case, but over the years he'd come to live with that.
This though?
This immature, childish, irritatingly clever woman... he had a feeling he'd carry the rage he felt against her until the day he finally died of it.
Although, if he was honest, his returning move had been a little childish, too.
He'd ordered one of the guards to strip her cell of everything except the chess set. Her mattress, the makeshift knife he shuddered to think she'd had in the same room as him, her pillow.
If she wanted to steal his shit, he'd steal hers, too.
He'd also had the guard move one of his pawns forward on the board.
Not the most creative, but he didn't have many options.
What did you take from a woman who had nothing? How did you punish someone who was already serving the longest punishment available?
The bank had seized her assets when she'd been locked up, and the lease on her apartment had long since run out. She didn't have any personal items with her, didn't seem to even care about anything besides making his life hell.
Case in point, when he got home that night, exhausted from dealing with Aelin and spending a long day at the office, he'd discovered her retaliation.
She'd stolen his bed.
The whole goddamn thing, frame and all.
How she'd managed to get it out of a penthouse condo with security not realizing a thing, he had no idea. He knew from experience it wouldn't even fit through the door.
It'd seemed if she was going to be uncomfortable, so was he.
Steaming with anger, he'd showered and flopped on the couch like an idiot, not even able to sleep thanks to the rage she'd worked him into.
She was completely kicking his ass. From the inside of a jail cell.
He hadn't gotten more than a few hours of sleep before giving up on even trying. At six, he'd dressed and driven to Whitehorn and Salvaterre, the law firm he was a partner at.
If he couldn't sleep, he'd at least figure out how the hell she was pulling this shit off.
Looking through her folder, he went through her daily schedule, seeing nothing out of the ordinary.
Eight am wake-up, breakfast, shower, lunch, yard time, dinner, lights out at nine. Between activities, she worked out in her cell or read a book from the run-down prison library.
In the eight years she'd been in prison, she hadn't had a single visitor. Her cousin Aedion--a playboy Rowan couldn't be paid to associate with--delivered a care package on the first of every month.
Strange, considering nothing of the sort had been in her cell.
She'd been in solitary confinement ever since randomly attacking her cellmate a little over a month ago. She was still allowed yard time and meals with the other prisoners, but she was chained at all times.
Also strange, considering Aelin wasn't the type to do anything randomly.
Rowan watched the security tapes he'd strong armed the guards into giving him, going through the past few days to see how she'd gotten out of her cell to rob him.
He watched as she was escorted to the yard, watched as she ate breakfast and lunch and dinner alone, watched as she put herself through vigorous training in her cell.
Days of footage, and he didn't find anything.
Feeling like a bit of a creep, he watched the nighttime footage of her sleeping, but there was nothing out of the ordinary.
She didn't move too much or too little--both of which would indicate it wasn't really her under that thin blanket. There were no attempts to pick the locks in between her wrists and ankles, no digging into the wall behind her toilet.
Nothing.
Which meant someone was helping her.
He could go through the official channels and ask the police for her known connections, but he hadn't reported either of the robberies yet.
Partly because he wanted to deal with her himself, partly because he felt a bit stupid getting robbed from a woman in the most secure prison in the city.
Which means he'd have to go about it a different way.
Grabbing his keys from his desk, he debated how else he could make her miserable, unfortunately finding nothing else he could do to her, no revenge he could get from robbing her tiny little cell.
No, he'd have to try something new.
Maybe he could bribe her into confessing. She didn't have anything right now, but maybe he could give her something to lose.
He'd bring her lunch, force himself to apologize for yelling at her, and just politely ask who her accomplice was.
He thought on it as he rode down the elevator to the garage. It probably wouldn't work, but he didn't know what else to do.
And besides, he knew from experience Aelin didn't respond well to his anger.
Checking his email to make sure he wasn't missing any important meetings, he pressed the button on his car fob, expecting to hear the resounding beep from his designated parking spot.
Except the beep never came.
Slowly looking up, Rowan had to amend his earlier statement.
Now he didn't think he'd ever been so pissed off in his life.
He stormed over to the security booth, hardly refraining from grabbing the man inside and throwing him to the ground.
"Where's my car, Rolland?"
"In your spot, boss," the stout little man replied instantly and surely, snapping his gum and looking at him in confusion. "Haven't seen you drive out yet."
"Yes, exactly. Which is why it's a mystery why it's no longer in it's spot."
Rolland caught up slowly. "You mean... it was stolen? From here? From you?"
Jaw so tight his molars were practically fused together, Rowan growled, "Just let me see the security tapes from this morning."
The guard nodded quickly, eyes nervous as he typed something into the desktop in front of him.
"That's weird," he muttered a moment later, typing faster and sending Rowan a nervous glance.
"What?" he asked, trying to calm himself down with a few of the breathing techniques he'd learned over the years.
"The tapes are gone, but there's... this."
Rolland turned the screen so Rowan could see it, and all the breathing in the world couldn't keep him from slamming a fist into the side of the security shack.
The footage was gone, and on the blank black screen read: Bishop to J7.
He was going to fucking kill her.
~Aelin~
"Enjoy your taxi ride here?" she asked sweetly, leaning back in her chair and crossing her legs.
Rowan scowled at her as he crossed the small room inmates could use to talk to their lawyers. He yanked the chair across from her out, then threw himself into it. "You are such a pain in my ass."
She just shrugged.
He sat across from her, angry and broody, and for a long time, he just stared at her.
Finally he asked, "Why are you doing this, Aelin?"
"I told you. You locked me up for something I didn't do. I want you to be as miserable as I am. It's simple, petty revenge."
Nothing about it was simple, but that was besides the point.
He was quiet for another moment. "Why now?"
She sighed, but she wasn't upset. Truthfully, she'd been waiting for him to ask that question.
"I want to tell you a story."
He stood up suddenly, face exasperated. "I'm not fucking joking around. And I'm not going to let you waste any more of my time."
He made his way to the door, and his dismissal of her pissed her off enough to say, "Sit down, or your car's going off Whigsby Bridge."
He smiled like he'd won their little game. "So you admit you have it."
"Sure," she said casually, honestly not giving a shit about the car.
His brow furrowed. "You're giving up? Just like that?"
"You're a fucking idiot if you think this is about your car, Rowan. But sure, I admit I know exactly where it, and your bed, and your little dagger are being hidden."
He narrowed his eyes. "This conversation is being recorded, and you just admitted to being an accessory to robbery, so-"
"You aren't going to press charges," she cut him off, pulling a cigarette out of her pocket and lighting it.
Nasty little prison habit she'd developed, smoking.
Or maybe she just did it because she knew he hated the smell.
"Oh, really?" he asked incredulously, eyeing the cigarette with disdain.
She grinned. "Once you sit and hear my story and realize I'm telling the truth, you're going to feel so guilty you won't even care about the car. Now sit down. I'd hate to see a classic get totaled because you're being stubborn again."
He glared at her, but came back to the table and sat down again.
Then reached over and snatched the cigarette from her lips, putting it out against the steel table top.
She just pulled out another, lighting it with one of her last matches. The irritation on his face made it worth the loss.
He waved a hand as if to say Get on with it.
She'd debated how to tell him this story for a long time. It was long, and messy and not particularly pleasant for her. But she wanted him to know the full thing, so she'd decided to start at the very beginning.
"My parents died when I was four," she began, ignoring his dramatic sigh. "I went into foster care, and as you can imagine, I was a particularly unruly child."
She smiled at the few memories she had. "I stole from the nuns, snuck out of my room at night and ran through the house, set all the clocks back an hour so we could sleep in. Small stuff. But it irritated them, because they couldn't prove it was me."
"Sounds familiar," he grouched, making her grin.
"I was adopted by Arobynn Hamel a year later."
As she'd predicted, his mouth fell open at that.
Arobynn was the known king of the underworld in Rifthold. He had a hand in every aspect of crime, yet no one could do anything about it because he never committed the crime himself.
His name was revered, so much so no one ever dared to cross him.
"But your record says-"
"That I stayed in foster care until I turned eighteen, I know."
Arobynn hated public records and had a deal with someone in the system that he'd take some of the kids off their hands if they kept quiet about it. Illegal as hell, but he wasn't someone you refused without suffering serious consequences.
It was the perfect crime. No one would miss unwanted kids, and it gave the system one less mouth to feed.
"I didn't know it, but he'd been watching me for a while. He... I don't know, saw something in me. Natural, innocent talent he could work with and turn into something different. He adopted me on my fifth birthday. And then he started training me."
"To do what?" Rowan asked, shoulders tensing.
"Everything," she answered with a shaky laugh, taking a long drag from her cigarette. "Stuff I wanted to learn, like how to pick a lock or walk without making sound. But as I got older, he taught me other stuff. Stuff I didn't want to know."
"How to kill," he finished, picking up on her tone.
She nodded, finishing her cigarette and flicking the butt on the floor.
"I was good," she told him quietly, looking down at the table. "By the time I was fifteen, he said I was the best he'd ever had. None of his other... children could beat me in a fight, not even the older ones who had a hundred pounds on me. And I could steal anything and not leave a trace."
His eyes didn't show an ounce of doubt, and she didn't know how to feel about it. But she kept going anyway.
"I was his favorite. I was his best asset, and I didn't care about anything that would compromise me. I lost my parents, and despite how much he wanted me to, I never loved him. I had no weaknesses. Except Sam."
"Another of his students?" Rowan asked, and it wasn't lost on her he said students instead of children.
She nodded. "We were adopted around the same time, grew up together. He was a year older, and whenever I had a problem, he was the one I'd turn to. He was good to me, and by the time I was seventeen, not a small part of me loved him."
Aelin broke off and took a deep breath, wishing she had another cigarette and trying to figure out how to put into words how much he'd meant to her.
"Was?" Rowan asked, so softly and quietly and understandingly that she was reminded of the man he'd once been, the one she'd loved.
Shaking her head to clear it, she said, "He made a mistake. He went on a job; he was supposed to break into one of the underground casino's owned by Arobynn's competitor and memorize the ledger, but he got caught. It was messy and horrible and stupid, and the owner wanted blood. Arobynn promised he'd kill Sam as retribution."
Rowan's eyes widened, almost like he hadn't realized how brutally she'd been raised until that moment.
"I begged him not to. Sam had saved me and helped me so many times that I couldn't not do the same for him. I told him I'd do anything."
She studied her hands, regret and guilt thick on her skin. "Arobynn said if I took ten of the jobs Sam was supposed to do, he wouldn't kill him. I thought they'd be similar to the one he'd messed up on, small break-ins or robberies. So I accepted."
A tear rolled down her cheek, and she batted it away as she continued, "The second I shook his hand, Tern--another of Arobynn's--shot Sam in the head."
Rowan's face blanched so quickly, she thought he might pass out.
He started to say something, but she spoke faster. "I... snapped. I killed Tern, tried to kill Arobynn. You called me a murderer, and that's true. I am, and I don't regret it. Tern was a sadistic bastard, and I'm glad he's dead. And one day, I'll kill Arobynn for what he did."
Rowan shook his head, confusion and shock and something similar to pity in his eyes. "Why didn't you leave, run away?"
She leveled a look at him. "I didn't exactly have a choice, Rowan. My punishment for Tern lasted for over a year."
There was a long pause.
"Punishment?" he asked in a breathless voice that made something in her chest hurt.
She looked at the table again, skin pebbling at the memory of that year. "He locked me in a cell in the basement, in the dark. Once a month he'd come in to ask if I knew someone named Sam. It took me ten months to get confused, another three to say no."
Still not meeting his eyes, she looked at his hands, noticing they were clenched so tightly the knuckles were white. And a part of her, buried under all the rage and resentment and sadness, warmed at the thought that he was... he was angry for her.
"It took me a long time after to figure out what was real and what wasn't. But Arobynn never let me forget our deal. And right before I met you, he told me the first job."
"What were the jobs?"
Aelin looked back up at that, the air thick between them as she said, "You already know."
"The murders."
She nodded, somehow managing to keep her spine straight despite the feeling of a hundred pound weight being lifted from her shoulders.
He at least knows why now, she thought to herself.
It was one of the things that had bothered her over the years. That he didn't know why she'd done what he thought she'd done. That he thought she'd.. wanted to do it.
He was silent for a long time, just watching her with a carefully emotionless face. "Thank you for telling me that," he said eventually. "I never could understand why."
Then he stood and walked to the door again, and it was only when his hand was on the handle she spoke again. "You asked why I'm doing this, and why I'm doing it now."
He opened the door but paused. Waited.
"It's because I tried to tell you this all those years ago, and you didn't care. You just assumed I was guilty because the evidence looked like it."
She spoke around the lump in her throat. "I told you I didn't kill those people, Rowan, and you didn't even care."
He spun around, slamming the door so hard it rattled, and in a split second, he was in front of her. A hand on the table, the other on her chair, he leaned down and got in her face.
He was so angry, so unbelievably enraged she couldn't believe it. He was angry?
"I didn't care? I didn't fucking care, that's what you think? Watching you get dragged away in cuffs was the worst moment of my life, and you think I didn't fucking care?"
Shock hit her like a bucket of ice water.
That moment was crystal clear in her mind, and she couldn't put what he was saying with what she knew.
He'd watched her with that same expressionless face, with cold eyes that had haunted her ever since.
She opened her mouth to say something, but he wasn't done.
"I fucked loved you! I thought you were the love of my life, Aelin. I begged you to tell me something that would help, tell me anything. But you didn't! You just kept saying you were innocent; you didn't give me anything to actually work with."
"I-"
"I found that stupid fucking list five days before I reported it, did you know that?"
She shook her head, because she hadn't.
"Exactly. You don't know what the hell you're talking about," he growled, eyes flashing. "I spent five days investigating it myself, trying to make sense of why you'd know those names. After your arrest, I spent two weeks trying to find anything, a single piece of evidence, that said it wasn't you. And after the trial, I spent another two months trying to poke holes in my own goddamn case."
He slammed a hand into the table. "I did everything I fucking could! I was desperate for it not to be you. I argued my case so your lawyer could plead circumstantial evidence. I put you on the stand so you could say anything you wanted. I went for life sentences instead of the death penalty to give you time to actually tell me what the hell was going on!"
She was breathing heavily, heart breaking and reforming over and over again at what he was saying, what he was implying.
"I didn't assume shit," he said in a low voice, so close they shared air. "You didn't tell me anything."
Aelin's voice trembled as she croaked, "I tried."
He shook his head, letting out a breath of amusement. "No, you didn't. If this past week has proven anything, it's that you don't try to do anything, you do it. You didn't tell me anything, Aelin. You're still not telling me anything."
"I'm telling you to look again! I'm telling you you didn't look hard enough, because I left breadcrumbs only you could find, breadcrumbs that explain everything."
"Stop playing games with me!" he shouted, eyes flashing with a fresh wave of anger. "It's been eight years! Stop holding onto whatever secret you're holding onto and just tell me!"
Gods, she wanted to.
He was the one person she couldn't trust with this secret, this stupid, most important secret, and yet he was the also the one person she wanted to tell it to.
She opened her mouth to tell him, but what came out was, "I didn't kill them, Rowan. I promise I didn't kill them. I can't... I can't tell you anything else."
"Jesus, Aelin," he spat, pushing off the table and turning to leave.
"Just look into it," she called after him, fingers digging into the table to resist the urge to try and follow him. "I promise you can figure everything out, and you'll understand everything. Please."
She knew why, after all this time, it was so important for him to know the truth when that hadn't been her original plan.
It was because she'd spent eight years believing he hadn't tried, believing she hadn't been a good enough person for him to even look into the possibility it wasn't her.
And maybe it was because he was once again leaving her, or maybe it was because she felt like she was in that courtroom again, begging him to believe her, or maybe it was because of something she didn't even understand yet.
Regardless of the reason, she found herself saying, "I loved you, too, you know."
He looked at her with sad eyes that she was sure mirrored her own and shook his head. "Not enough, apparently."
"You don't believe that," she argued, shaking her head and trying to keep the building emotions down.
"If you'd loved me, you would've told me. You would've given me the proof, whatever breadcrumbs you're talking about. You wouldn't have let me watch them take you away."
"Rowan-"
"You wouldn't have thought, for a second, that I didn't try to fight for you. And you sure as hell wouldn't have waited eight years to do whatever it is you're trying to do."
"I had to," she whispered, even as she knew it wouldn't be enough.
She shook with the effort to not tell him everything, but even after all he'd told her and how everything had changed, she just couldn't. Not yet.
He stood at the door, watching her with those eyes she'd once thought looked like the most beautiful emeralds. "Sometimes I think about it, you know. What life would be like if I hadn't tried to fix your sink in the middle of the night."
She smiled sadly. "Me too."
Rowan shook his head, gaze taking in her face like he thought he'd never see her again.
He thought it was over now, she realized. He thought that now she knew he hadn't given up on her immediately, now that she'd told him the story she'd wanted to tell him, that it was over and she'd give up.
"Look again," she whispered. "You know I didn't do it. It's why you're here, why you kept looking after the trial ended. You know I wouldn't."
"Goodbye, Aelin," he said instead, not telling her any of the things she really wanted to hear.
It wasn't until the door shut behind him she finally let herself cry.
She'd told herself that it didn't matter; that in a month the truth would come out and everything would be normal again.
She'd told herself she was only messing with Rowan for revenge, not because she wanted to see him again or test that he'd find the clues she'd left for him.
She'd told herself this was just a game.
She'd told herself all sorts of things that turned out to be lies.
