Kilian

 

In the passing tent 

Of ephemerality 

perfume bent 

make-up and smoke 

I felt your insouciance 

ethereal and passing 

It was obliterate

The garden and the matchbox 

Your feather duster 

The ladder in your tights 

How many deniere  

My dear fellow 

Your sundry deniers 

Longing to pierce 

Your manly chest 

With inquisition 

(The Spanish one) 

How many leering 

Objections 

How many horses 

Penetrate your flesh 

Like a pin cushion 

San Sebastián 

They are the helter

You are the skelt 

You are the mask 

eyeshadow svelte

Car crash brazen 

Triplicate paradigm 

Laconic lout 

Soft as an otter 

Malevolent insinuant 

You are a hip

Swiveling 

You are a drip 

Defiant 

Permeating 

Resonant 

Wet crystal ball 

Transparent and atomic 

The secrets of the desert 

Deaf with Azaleas 

Ringing with stars 

Whirl through your gaze 

Your steadfast rebellion 

Rooted in Rabelais 

Classically Conditioned 

With synchronicity’s lace 

You phantom 

You’re handsome 

You shadow 

You merman 

Where is your soul 

Engraved in flowers 

I’ll miss you 

You tramp

Your radiance 

Recalcitrance 

Your debauchery 

Your humour 

Thank you dear heart

For being you 

I’ll always remember you 

As I engender you 

In the breeze of your fan 

Inscrutable deviant 

Beautiful man.
