different senses, different shoes

unless you are a practioner of the dark arts emerging
schmooze leadened sense
from Bowen Hills
highhat bass and most important
esoteric referensh
perhaps in sullen sluggish chains led
regretful wriggling uncomfortable on its claws
look for two most
unexpected arrivals
rival twice
then be gone
the transgressive experimental

softly scented whispers drifting words
like fingertips poem this, or lace perhaps
invites a shy transgression overlaps hibiscus
songs interpolate a minor wrong in triplicate
quick slipped a silent underpass
slyness through a poem blissed
an unlit bloom in midnight room,
caressed in subtle duplicate tightly
there just under where a softly scented
whisper lingers in a repetitious tit for tat
where once a linguist army gathered
apples under umber skies
remains without remorse a kiss,
a kiss, a kiss of course

Stroking his outrageous moustachios, grey and straggling like some monkey magic figure from my childhood, there are no coincidences, especially not names, here here and here he says his stubby finger like it was trying to make holes in me, gaps in the filter.
All I had wanted was a tattoo but for some reason, caught between the ekphrasic and narcissistic, so a poetry slam heh, and you want a nice tattoo, well he said, I don’t usually do drunks but I’ll make an exception for you since right now things aren’t slammin round here, more drifting down in a constant beautiful drizzle shattering rainbows through the room.

Gingatao was highlighted as a top Australian blog until July 2010, when its failure to be updated meant it was excluded from the 2010-2011 list. We think the readers can judge whether this is still a top Australian Blog - stats certainly prove it is. Requests for clarity on this issue have been ignored by the organisers. legal formalities
