a shropshire ladder  (  a . e  i n  t h e  h o u s e  –  m a n  )

…

hen i was swan & bendy

i burred an iceman splay

" div sounds & nouns & spinneys

but knot your harp array;

sieve pearls - wah hey - & uzis

but sweep your pansy tree "

but i was swan & bendy,

snow juice to squawk to me


hen i was swan & bendy

i whirlwind whey again

" the tart is trout & wooden

was weather gibbon in vane;

'tis maid with thighs-a-sentry

& scold for breathless boo "

& i am shrew & bendy

& crow, 'tis spew, 'tis spew
