sprawling scrawls ( some 21st century wobble-juice )

…

i'm scrawling sprawls in shit black ink

on helpful hands & exposed skin

i'm dawdles of a doodled ilk

& tattooed scraps of bastard whim


i'm scribbles of a symbol mind

from flapping wings of bastard gist

i'm nudges plus protection too

& makeshift bits of shopping lists


i'm tangents like a spider's web

& pilchard sods of inner-jokes

i'm faithful jots - forget me not

& other looming ghostly notes


i'm floating hopes & pressing too

a wistful wink, a gentle nudge

'fore dark clouds throb - the cloudburst falls

i'm smearing down to

just a smudge

...
