POE ART IS FREE    PEN-SEE ME


(Poe art like sun-shine is free)




 Why do we need meaning and not feeling

me and me and me? What snobbery cruci-

fiction. Nietzsche -N.I.hilism told us God was

dead; his writing was his inner belief. 


Active optimistic N.I.hilism. This is mine; 

I don't think he went mad. I think he had 

a stroke, had aphasia, and lost all memory 

and no mind's eye.


Marguerite Dumas in her studies

of melancholy.' When you find yourself

in a hole, only writing can save you.


I live in a year moment on a 24-hour

loop. I have a lock-in with no future, no 

past writing a bleak blog. Absurd, my only 

worth is in myself. I have been writing this 

moment pomement.


Camus also had a touch of aphantasia,

unable to grieve his mother, but took that 

as a guilt trip. ? You don't have to join the club. 

I loved his nonchalant way. Aphant helps me 

deal with this trauma and grief.


N.I.hilism has a strange feedback loop

of optimistic niehilism pessimistic hope. 

Will and will to power, art is feeling.


I sat on the fence for thirty years I watched 

hate hate in God's name.We will never get 

over the man-made wall until we are done 

with a manmade religion.We created 

and killed him; revenge and hate live on.


I grew up in this, but I saw peace; my sister

killed herself because of hate revenge.

Just like my art, a feeling of black hope-

lessness it turns my muck to gold in the words 

of an actual human being, Nietzsche, I woke 

up in a verbal line of 1967 gutterance.


A morphic nature memory, Zoetrope in 

a bodhran rhythmic sham-manic beat. 

Drumming up cobblestone streets outside 

loos and B-specials kicking a man into 

the gutters. 


Drenched in blood begets blood lit by

a cruci-fiction. Gutterance insight 

and this manmade religion are seared 

into my mind. 


What is this place with evil fleas, where adults

tell you stories of banshees and death and a man

hangs on a cross drenched in blood? Where is

 humanity in that? The picture of cruci-fiction.


She slept in the same room as that picture

I'm not sure this went down, but take my 

word. I wrote before my stroke broken mind. 


I can't get this image out of my head, but Aphan-

Tasia helps me deal with grief and trauma.

I was six, watching police kick a man into

the gutter, just like the man on the cross, even 

then I knew I couldn't hate like that, barbaric.


In a widescreen high-definition, full-

Moonglow. A two up two down 

warped window view. All from morphic 

nature's memory. There are no visuals in my 

mind, but the hate I saw seared into my mind. 


Mind spinning like vertigo, I threw up on 

the floor, peas lino. The greengrocers smelt 

of the sea, Dolce and the earthy potato, a bag 

of broken biscuits to take away blood memory 

but I lived my truth. 


I checked the gutter to make sure I wasn't 

just dreaming; the blood was bleached white. 

Children should be seen  and not heard, but

one told me what to do, the norm for thirty 

years, locked-in decades, God's name. 


War and blackhole blemished accept-

ance unemotional engineering a warped 

con-cave hill and Napoleon's nose. Feeling 

trying to remember for-Get, you just can't 

beat the truth. 


In the book of Dreaming, a poet is alive.

 Fernando Pessoa wrote:' 'It's not.

Necessary just to live but To feel.'

There are so many great writers with 

a pessimistic optimistic N.I.hilism. 





 

MANGLED OBJECT/SUBJECT

 

On the elevator going up from I.C.U.

where they gave me a stroke boost

declared me dead for seconds. I have

no sense of time/space, so don't take

my word.

 

The piston thrust of life sat me bolt up-

right in the bed. Just a grey ashen dust

of flimsy hologram like a victim of holo--

cast. I saw my reflection in my son's

eye; I looked like a skeleton.

 

My hard drive of forty-five years erased

 of long-term memory, there was nothing on/

in my mind. I thought the nurses were out to

kill me; no concept took me days to tell

the difference between fantasy and reality.

 

 

The drugs they gave me to keep me alive, I took 

M.D.M.A. and acid, but this was a trip like nothing

else on earth.Like my own patch gaming a play-

station Silent Hill in a Stephen King hospital. All

I could do was grip the blankets like a seat belt

and take the trip between life and death, a trip

and a half.

 

Hallucinating a man behind my bed, cutting my body

Parts with a chainsaw tossing them into a skip

And I was following. Or a group of consultants add-

ministering the drugs of death just before

The needle pierced the skin. I woke in a cold

Sweat, my head was up my black hole.

.

 

Drifting life/death for 48 or 72 hours, I was lost

Hanging on by the skin of my teeth. The con-

Sultans whispered their truth, not knowing what

Category life/death: I was drifting. Realized or un-

Realized. Self-determination is a beautiful re-

Source: was I an object or subject mangled by

Tween both. All my balance was broken. A girl

A yellow top gestured to me water, a simple cup

Of water means so much from a cleaner with

Very little English but humanity. I wanted to say

Thank you. The words fell through my mind, but no-

The thing came out of my mouth.

 

My memory was gone. I was paralyzed down

my right, my balance was broken, I had no speech.

 There was nothing in my mind to compare to

even writing these twenty years later, I still have 

nothing to declare compare to my past tense.

Hi, I READ JILLS, SO I MIGHT HAVE MESSAGED HER; MEMORY LOSS?



AFTER STROKE

                                 VIBRATION OF LIFE, HZ FREQUENCY OF HUMANITY

To A.Zeman

ADAM, LIKE YOUR PATIENT. I KNOW I WAS THERE 

BUT CANT SEE I TOOK A MASSIVE STROKE IN 2005 

THAT WIPED OUT MY HARD DRIVE.

LOST ALL LONG-TERM MEMORY, CANT REMEMBER

 MY 3 KIDS WERE BORN DURING MY MARRIAGE OF YEARS OR MY

CHILDHOOD, BUT WHAT IS SO STRANGE IS WRITER

 WITH SEVEN BOOKS BEFORE MY STROKE 

AND WROTE MY AUTOBIO AS IF I KNEW I WOULD 

LOSE MY MEMORY. I LOOKED AT PHOTO OF 

AND REALIZED I FELT IT NEGATIVELY, BUT MY 

BROKEN MIND IS A DARK PLACE.

 
I ATTEMPTED SUICIDE TWICE POSITIVE SUICIDE

 WE ARE THINKING THE WRONG WAY AROUND.  

OR IS IT JUST FINDING POSITIVITY FROM WORDS BUT

I HAVE TO TELLING IM BROKE. THE OBJECT AND 

SUBJECTS ARE MANGLED IN ME.


I FIND IT SO HARD TO FIT. I WOKE IN ICU CRYING 

MY EYES ARE OUT. THE PSYCHE TEAM ASKED WOUL 

HURT ME AGAIN. I TOLD THEM I DID KILL MYSELF

 TO DIE, RILKE, THE POET, AID THE MAIN THING IS 

TO LIVE THAT THE PAINTING BUT LIKE LIFE 

IS A GAMBLE. I GAMBLED ON DEATH TO LIVE IS 

THERE SUH A THING AS POSITIVE SUICIDEE I HAD

 NOTHER CHOICE I HAD TO KNOW LIFE/DEATH.

LOOKED AGAIN, AND IT DAWNED ON ME THAT MY

 MIND IS SCARRED BY TRAUMA COULD ASPHALT-

ASIA BE A REACTION A  SURVIVAL SEQUENCE





AGAINST BRAIN INJURY. MY SONS AND WIFE 

 NOT  TRAUMA. I FIND IT SO HARD TO FIT IN 

JUST APHANTASSSIA.
.
It’s Aphantastic to put a name on some-
thing, the very thing that drove me to suicide. 
For the last eight years, I have been writing 

blackhole poetry, ‘The blind-brow.’


All those years spent in default mode, telling 
doctors, nurses and psychiatric professionals 
who had no clue about the blackness behind 
my eyes, unable to conjure up images from 
my mind's eye.

Unable to cling to images of my own
sons, my childhood and my family.
It was as if I was a blank shell of a man.
At least now I’ve got a name, a reason
for my anxiety.

I have been trying to form from
a formless mind, but I knew I knew
I was on to something; there was
a method to my madness. The poems
were feeding me hope, even if it was 
a dark hope.

I flicked through YouTube as I stay
away from adverts. I watched a guy
talking to a professor about how he 
couldn’t hold the images of his dead 
mother in his mind and thought he
was going mad, and the professor
ADAM SEVEN
said he had a condition

Called Aphantasia.



                  MAYBE TOMORROW
                         muck to gold
                             Nietzsche

Keats knew his lot, half in love 
with death, Coldridge, too, found 
life in death, Duende- Lorca lit-
erasure is littered with death-life

Recycle what you have lost 
and it will wash and relish you.
My bar has been set low as low 
as I can go. The next rung down 
is a suicide, and I have tried that twice. 

Never again, I woke in A and E crying
my eyes out. Is this how you treat humans
Sisyphus or death. I attempted not to kill myself. 

I'm a poet, and to be a poet, you love life 
good or bad. There's only one humanity
You righteous chosen few, you have stolen 
society, you left me in dire straights.

A wheelchair atheistic fool with no mental
health wealth, but I am a human being that
my passport, which gives you the right to judge.
I will never forgive you; you left me in hell
had to take my head in the magic hands of chance
and cry down an overdose. Is this how you
Christian care hypocrisy. 

A human being is just not your sort, but there is 
only one humanity and a myriad of choices 
so who are you to leave me digging in the dirt.

Ok, I gambled death to live and care for humanity
that is all I ever wanted. I was rock bottom. You gamble 
life every day, I risked death to live, but you poor lot
wouldn't comprehend. I knew what I was doing; I was
drowning; it was black behind my eyes, not sin-is-ter-evil. 

The psyche mental health team couldn't tell me I had
aphantasia. I found out on youtube. they didn't know 
what I was talking about, even my Doctor never heard 
of it, I had aphantasia-diagnosed first in 1580. I was
just a wheelchair atheist fool mumbling aphasia non-
sense.

All my life, I pushed against religion. Now religion
steeped in care.  Show me a little humanity, respect.
That's the state of N.I. mental health ruled by a de-
played of sect-tare-racism. 1690-1916 it doesn't rain 
but it pours like a matrix of sell-by dates. Your either 
green or orange kicked by both sides, I'm white peace.

2.

I saw something when I was six in nineteen-
sixty-seven haunts this rant to throw up on 
the oilcloth like it did back then. I wrote this
Long before my stroke, troubled trauma seared
into my mind. I stood by the window a little 
English boy tearing my flea-bitten flesh in my 
brothers and me down rolled-up pjs.

 The picture on the wall in full moonlight was of 
a man drenched in blood lit by a red bulb of Crucial-
fiction to a thirty-year crude fact. All for hypocrisy
church-state killing all over the world, and holy war.

A man entered the cobbled street, chased by policemen 
B-specials, their number flashed in the moonlight.
I had never seen the night so bright, like a widescreen
high definition from the entry to  New and Olde
Ardoyne. I was six and had never seen anything like this.

They toughened him down outside my window
like a magnifying glass. I couldn't pull myself 
away you cant unpen-unsee reflections I can't 
remember or forget. They beat him into the gutter
and jumped on his head in hobnailed boots, two up
two down concaved hatred. 

Threw up on the lino floor, his head opened like 
a rotten tomato. My mother rushed in and closed
the curtain, she saw what I saw; Mum, what is this 
place of hate-filled death and alien fleas outside
bogs, banshee stories that were 67', she never 
answered.

We time-travelled from London to Belfast in another
century and I still don't understand hate. Next morning 
I went for broken biscuits, checked the gutter to see 
I didn't just dream it, the way blood that begets blood 
was bleached white, broken wafers, amen. 

Religion and care are mixed into a paste to bleach the blood
of holy war. The man in the gutter was the man drenched 
in blood.











DOWN  

IS UP  


 

Morphic remembrance






CREMATION-ANIMATION

In the beginning, Mum created 
my heaven on earth. I created 
this image from grief shuddered
in me like muscle memory, with no
idea in my mind. We are told
not to dwell on death but on the dead 
gives us life cremate-animation.

I scoured the internet for a fixed
point something I could cling to
like a compass point. Nietzsche,
Alan Watts, my hero, Will 
and Will to power but nothing
jumped off the screen or kindled me.

Poetry quotes and first lines were reeled
like a fly rod, but nothing was hooked.
Carver, Kavanagh, and Lowell trembled 
to caress the light. Flicked on youtube 
Bible, but after the first line, it reads like
a Disney story Aesop Fable A Fox
looking up at sour grapes.

Just as I was giving up the cursor 
picked up Mum, it drew me in 
I stared deeper. How did I create 
this image? It's black behind my eye, 
she is my compass point. She was 
the most incredible human being I had known.

Patty Keogh from Rathmines, Dublin.
She was my north, south, east and west
my poe-art, she knew I was a crazy kid
without fear, she saved my life thrice. 
It feels like she is writing this the picture
of ashen grey.

Living the streets of Ardoyne, take 
that wild child or will die on these 
war-torn streets.To run away to 
her sister in London-Dublin after 
beating my father, hard- man.

I took a stroke and crawled into her 
room, she had 5 strokes and sixty
with a paralysed hand. She got me 
off the floor with a mothers strength
into her bed, phoned the doctor 
who was there in minutes?

I felt the paint grief on canvas, cremated
ash and tears. She created this image
I trembled to see her light, just a simple 
being she is the first line of my creation.
The picture of Patty Keogh, ashen grey
A Dub like Oscar, a little piece of sky.




 A VIBRATION OF LIFE

MORPHIC REMEMBRANCE

 

Morphic resonance rolls 

off my tongue. I saw words

 waterfall from the canals 

of the right hemisphere.

 


I can't conjure up images, no mind's eye.

The stroke brain injury created aphantasia, black 

behind my eyes. Memories from years ago 

wave and weave like it was yesterday, but

no images come to mind; I re-

member moment our comments.



 

 In my broken mind, there is no past/present

Tense living in now and now, A Fox thought.

A Fox looking at a fox by a fox, memory

Comes from muscle memory; life remembers

Life repetitively repeats my morphic field.

 

Fernando Pessoa wrote in the book Dream

of being alive, It's not necessary just to live

but to feel. I feel Pomes, without memory

a past or present unemotional engineering.

I might be disabled, but I think phantasmic.






 

 




I KNOW I HAVE WRoTHIS BEFORE BUT NOT
ON A TRAUMATIC-SHAMANIC HZ FREE-QUENCY WAVE.


     ODE TO NATURE'S MORPHIC MEMORY 

      

 I woke up to a red glow dawn.

                   A fox skulked out of the ditch

       stopped in motion to glare into 

me, heart-beat wild. A shamanic vibe 

           forged between us at the half-door/

ditch. Kavanagh's ditch animalistic-

       humane-hyphen-

                      ate at Hack-

                                      balls-cross '

                               Co.Louth.


50 years later, with stroke un-

                     emotionally-engineered long-

                         term memory loss but A Fox looking at

a fox by A.Fox is seared into my broken

             mind. We two were one in 72', In natures 

        memory, the painted bodhan  

                on the wall beats a memory age 

                       fourteen at the half-door, Hackballscross.            

                  Just a mile from Mucker, Kavanagh


I won't ever remember for-get those 

                freedom winds. Something else was 

     alive, a wave of humanity natures-morphic-memory.

                  A fox thought, I know it wasn't a dream-

            scape





MY PARADISE IS LOST AND FOUND


These images are seared into my mind, not 
like memory. Spoken from a broken mind
I feel they don't seem like my poetic faction. 
I am not sure if they aim to fit in poetic fiction

There is nothing else in my mind like odes
they are a song of myself. I wanted to write 
a romantic poem like Keats and Milton, but 
my paradise is lost. The morphic
vibration of life is felt through works of art like a shamanic foot--
fall, fingerprint. I feel poe-artry without memory; poe-artry 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
two states, A Fox Thought and The Dreamscape of the Fox Thought.
I can't put my finger footfall on nature's memory, but I 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, I 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 alive 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 you
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-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.

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 skulk...
