meanwhile’s cousin ( nisuoc s’elihwnaem )
…
grey between sunbeams
haze between dream’s deep
four jackdaws
in the doldrums of my mind’s eye
the milkman & the postman
swapped moustaches for the day
three pygmy shrews
danced a tango on the patio
lemon curd was spreading
on the top of toasted teacakes
& the grocer saw the ghost
of himself – in a puddle
as a hag in the local rag
married a badger
the courts say it’s illegal
– but maybe it’s love?

squirrel ( lerriuqs )

they of woodland dreys
storing hordes of hazelnuts
bog roll & acorns

rubber chickenpox ( xopnekcihc rebbur )
…
scatter graph parallax
missing gaps, pavement cracks
scrabble babble axe
scrumpled sheet, shuffle feet
scrawl in all – incomplete
shudder sugar beet
onion sun, rumble drum
muted hues, fiddle dumb
pluck a pickled plum
pepper spray, chase the day
string a vest, west away
suck a lemon grey
shrouded cloud cotton socks
roses, hips, dripping clocks
rubber chickenpox
river mist, mistletoe
undertows overflow
scribble as y’ glow

thoughts beside the estuary ( yrautse eht ediseb sthguoht )
…
rivers can be salty – too
like dry roasted scrotal sacks
there’s a shanty in the air
singing tails of dogs at sea
under skies of mutant blue
grains of sand within my shoe
is this the real life?
is this just fantasy?
egrets aren’t actually eagles
– they’re herons

dreaming of sweden ( nredewds fo gnimaerd )
…
i’m dreaming of sweden
whilst eating ryvita
the land of ikea
of blondes & long summers
of forests & saunas
with winters of darkness
but england is darker
& britain is sinking
the nordics are calling
europa is falling
& earth’s in the clutches
of globalist quislings
& pantomime horseplay
so flee east of norway
as ace of base, abba
& stockholm – her syndromes
are chirping like hatchlings
i listen & harken
the garden’s in tangles
with thorns on the brambles
the cure is far worser
a scourge of a killer
as curtains are twitching
& tossers bang pots
the plot is all rotten
the dross at the bottom
so come & run, reader
& leg it with me
we’ll peg from the sniffles
& fuck this scamdemic
bee free from the sheeple
& wankers in masks
…

ruffle feathered quills
upon a muddled morning
milk the other udder
michaelmas ’til easter
antlers on a postcard, folks
glow within the marbles of
elephantine twilight
seek & ye shall firefly

catatonic crow ( worc cinotatac )
…
thunder under rain
staggers in y’ anorak
clatter cabbage brain
wobble on & laugh
cauliflower power trips
tossers block the path
intermittent owl
mutant moons of jupiter
as the brambles growl
squiggles squid the nib
curtain twitchers curdle cream
skirt around the fib
weasel breezes blow
speckle spectred spectrograph
catatonic crow
flutter bumblebee
spread it like a butterfly
mumbles jumble me

fowl wordplay ( yalpdrow lwof )
…
late rain clouds burst
spurting blurs of bird
down upon the pastures
see the vees of skeins flap
on the sodden green leas
swan beyond the blue snooze
come & have a gander
– greylag geese
