the tumble diver ( a p o e m )
…
dangled legs & scrambled ciphers
lizards licking bishop's mitres
rubber lips & singing kettles
vapour planes the wafer tigers
father thames & uncle tiber
spartans warring tartan pipers
fingertips & stinging nettles
cockles warm the cock in cider
headless nuns & phantom hikers
otters sparring martian spiders
ombudsman & sinking vessels
eiders duck the river sniper
dungeon tongues & tungsten vipers
lighting striking paragliders
swishing fish & sniffing petals
spittle spins the tumble diver
