Chris Mann Poems

I saw a baby today
An alien gave birth to it
It spewed it out with blood and faecal matter
And bile and grime and soda and drugs
...

O but the love of life it seems
That all once faded into dreams
And swept away what thoughts, what feel
To sway to god and swoop and reel
...

A desert sailor feels the water
I feel the pain where I belong
For what is real is hidden down
Below a depth of life forlorn
...
