SOMATRAVERSE

 

                                                        ILL BE YOUR REFLECT PEN-SEE





This is the first day in 20 years
in stroke recovery and one-word 
comes tmind: Somantraverse. 
I knew of a poem, Soma Fluidity.
The elixir of etherised emerald 
Flame, by Anon.


It ejaculated into me like 
a womb dream, rebirth. 
My mother's humanity in 
me, she was my elixir of life. 

They say it's a plant cell, neuron
recovery membrane, and circadian
rhythm. 3 words in one, I woke 
with it on the tip of my tongue.

Whether a drink, plant life for me
or a brain-stimulating way of being.
Given to me by my inner self so-
mantra verse, like me, becoming

A poet is accidentally, on purpose
my rhythm is absolute, as Ezra Pound
said it came right out of the stroke
down blues down is up, somatic.

HERE NOW AND NOW

MUCKER



I can't remember a moment

by the half-door, it is etched into my

broken mind. A verbal memory, A Fox

skulked out of a red glow dawn, 

Kavanagh's ditch.

 

This was the first morn of the rest of my

Life. The fox from the ditch was like

 a gasp, never seen felt before. 


All I knew was Raw War, Street Kid, 

and Gutterance. It stopped in motion, 

glared at me, and left its mark.

 


A stamp of approval, Kavanagh's bright 

shillings of March, forged into my mind

 that morning. Like an animal symbol out of 

circulation, a lost wax process (cire perdu).


I never knew true natural beauty.

The fox gave me that nature nurtured 

into words. It took my inner-city 

sight slang and tossed it

and spit hatred to the gutter.


War-torn Belfast was no more,

I saw peace, not war, in Hackballscross 

with my Mucker Muttley with only one eye 

and three legs Beaten by Brit rifle butts.

 

He chased the camouflage cows like uni-

Formed hatred to chase away shellshock 

cool green around our ankles. 

The same fields Patrick Kavanagh 

walked through.

 

Mucker left its mark; freedom winds 

hacked my mindset and true natural wonder, 

I will never forget.





 

The Cottage had two rooms, no water, to shit, you had to call a spade, a spade. The well- 

water sparkling spring. I have never tasted 

anything like it.


A skater on healthy water, bending.

Reality. I blogged to see how often I wrote

this moment on the right hemisphere, the half-

 door. I am lost. Really, I am lost in my dis-

abled bubble.

 

Substance, my absolute rhythm, carved by

The uncarved block Kavanagh, Carver,

the fox footfall like an uncarved circadrian 

rhythm, the thought fox to be

A Fox thought.

 These images are seared into my mind 


branded like livestock aphant-trauma, 
aphasia, paralysed my down right side. 
This is my dogs honest truth. Even I cant 
understand, I call these pomements moment-
us moments No past cling on to memory 
spoke from a broken mind. 

I feel so alone,lost they cant handle my 
negative capability. My filthy realism, how 
can you come to terms when you have no 
long-term memory.

There is nothing else in my mind like 
odes they are a song of myself. I wanted 
to write a romantic poem like Keats, Milton, 
but my paradise is lost. The morphic vibration 
of life is felt through works of art like a sham-
manic fox foot fall, fingerprint. I feel poe-art
without memory; poe-art is under my skin. 
It seems I have lived two lives, one with 
and one without.

A Fox Looking at a fox by A Fox means 
so much to me; I like those flow states.
A Fox Thought and the Dreamscape of 
the fox thought.

I can't put my finger footfall on nature's 
memory but feel adrift. Like the diving bell 
and the butterfly, fluttering in a backward law.
A reverse effort floating up to the top, locked-
in a default syndrome.

When I first took the massive stroke, j was 
drifting between life and death in a flimsy 
hologram, a grey state. Beside my hospital
bed was an exit door. 

Above it was a little green man. I was tripping 
like I had never tripped. The drugs to keep me 
live were making me hallucinate, and my balance 
was gone; I couldn't even put my foot on the floor, 
it was like an ocean. My compass point of fantasy 
and reality, I had no fixed issue and couldn't tell 
the difference.

Everything on the ward was moving nurses 
on off rota; patients time/space meant nothing to me. 
The little Greenman I focused where I got this strength 
of mind is beyond me because the stroke erased 
my hard drive. There was nothing in my mind
but I told myself if I had seen the Greenman, then 
I was in reality and not fantasy, hallucinating. 
I realised that the consultants whispered, not 
knowing where I fit in life or death.

Self-determination gives you strength if you 
just believe in yourself It felt great knowing that 
I was in control of my stroke recovery.
The nurse opened the exit door, and I tasted 
greenery. My ashen grey flimsy hologram felt 
the rush of life. The breath of fresh air was like 
the stroke boost that woke me bolt upright 
from death's door. Declared dead for seconds, 

I saw my reflection in my son's eye
like a zoom-zom-me. Summer entered me like 
a rebirth; the nurses, and doctors saw me
in a different light. Paddy, the little green man, 
showed me Ashfalt which led to the bluestone road 
and Lylo cemetery, where my mother and sister 
are soiled, waiting for me. 

This was the first day of my blemished acceptance; 
I knew where I was at the back of the hospital. 
A Google map opened in my mind like a sat-nav. 
From that moment, no matter what three hospitals 
I went to, the compass point was in my mind
I no longer felt lost and alone. 

I felt good in myself, knowing my mind had figured 
this out; there was hope in me. Paddy showed me 
the road; self-determination is a beautiful thing. 
If only we believed in ourselves.  I was on the road 
to recovery, not hell.

COPY PASTE 

AND HOPE

 

The internet was down

 for a day. I realized my broken mind had no Cling on to memory, lost without Photo- graphs and Internet. 



                                                                                        PROPER PIC


There Was nothing on my mind, blank.

 I always knew memory was mor-photo-

genetic, the net gave me stimulation. I tried 

to conjure up something in my mind but no 

remembrance.

 

I cant even think up a con-no-clue-sion, 

wordplay is my depth. I want to say more 

and roll poetic of my tongue but it’s like 

when I woke from stroke.

 

I seen the word in my mind but nothing 

came out. I am like internet my network 

is down. I can only write of the moment 

I am in no past and future intense.

 

I tried to save this Word document

But just like me, there is nothing on

Its mind, copy-paste and hope.

 

Am I just a blog on the write

Hemisphere, waiting to be put

In the virtual-reality wastepaper bin..

  PESSIMYSTIC


Will, synchronicity
Butterfly flutter by
Nature opens up
the door and drifts
like time itself.

Seen green smelt
Greenery, the road
Mum/sis soiled
Greif and joy was
in my heart.

Google map was
in my head, dead
steered me back
to life to Lylo.


MY WILL TO POWER

' for I love thee eternity’
Nietzsche

I seen all this today be-
cause I seen all that
tomorrow.
MORPHOTO-
                      GENETIC-
                                         SHAMANIC-
                                                             BEING


These are the words of a broken human being.

 Being broken how?  Is so hard to put my finger

On that pulse: Stroke-long-term memory loss-

Aphasia-aphantasia, a veil of black behind eyes.

                        

Marguerite Dumas said of her studies on mel-

oncholy when you find yourself in a blackhole

at the bottom of a hole, you realize only writing

can save you, the write hemisphere blog.



 

I haven’t dreamed in twenty years but last night

The snapshot of a fox in a grey multistorey-Car-

park. The fox slept on the soft-top roof of a car

it was daylight colour road signs and bunker grey.



 

Just days ago I watched a shamanic journey he

spoke of your animal symbol, ticking my boxes

Of shamanistic, Pagen, animal skin drum beat

I went on my url and found a poem, pagen poet.



 

I don’t do that new-age mystic shit if I don’t

See touch or feel I don’t believe the stroke

Put me in a confusing default mode. The snap-

shot pierced black fabric of life just a shutter

speed flicker of fox.

 

As close I could almost touch, said hey there

 mister aphantastic fox. Nonchalantly he raised

 his head to fall as if  I wasn't even there was this

 the animal symbol of myself caring not to care?

 or a sham-manistic being of my broken self.

 

I flicked my computer of poe-artry memory as

My human hard drive was wiped clean, I was

amazed how often the fox appeared. There is

Hope after all in my hopeless hope, flicker foxy-




Foxy like the back of my hand, a morphoto

genetic flashed up Johnny the Fox alias Jim

 (father's name) before my eyes. A Fox looking 

at a fox by a fox mantra-shaman. I lived with 

Dad when I saw the fox


I don't remember.

 HYPHEN-ATE ME REPETITIVE REPEAT

            Its black and bleak down here.

        No emotional engineering, just

A .dot-wired up al-chem muck

How to suffer- Will and will to

Power-no x-mas or birth day

Cell-leb its just pure Dubh-bla

Bla-black. I know the world is

Out there I hear them drive-

 

By-shooting. On my per-if-

Eerie is a dis-able room dis-

Abled bed and the curtains

Blacked out allergic to sun-

Light red around the head.

 

A native Irish/English man

with nowhere to go Shop-

pen-Will is my time my-

hour pess-I-mytic hope.



 

 

No green/orange- red/blue shot by

Both sides we were wired up, some

Of will get creedmore-electro- shock

You can kill your sons,music was like

A Kill city-round and round abot city

But we took the mushtoom hit.




 

Cows were alien force we tripped

Nothing the lawonly works dried

out. We were dole hoppers hop-

ping on the mi-cell-ian socal net-

work Fun-guy 2.
