dripping summer  (  a n o t h e r  b a s t a r d  s u m m e r  p o e m  )

…

bramble jam & sand in sandals

baton bats the badger drummer

panting ants as daggers dangle

dads in vans & mother-truckers


second spews & speckled pebbles

trending as the lutist strummer

kettles singing in the nettles

rivers run as fingers butter


bells are knelling in the steeples

bumble hums a stumbled stutter

spring is bread of milk & measles

magic beans are on the runner


witches glisten in the dingle

bottles fly as piglets flutter

adders nap as lions lingual

tongue the salad of a nutter


happenstance & ants in trousers

shrews in trews as shepherds shudder

rows of roses, crows & dowsers

in a spin & out the udder


praetor preens a prefect circle

curtains sprawl a ball of rubber

brawls of orbs & hurl's the turtle

slipping within dripping summer
