queen anne’s lace  (  a  p o e t r y )

…

white in the lea's pit

a beacon of soap


handkerchiefs, nighties

a wedding or rope


hangs as a basket

a bastard or bat


lives with the lizard

the serpent & rat


sneezes in woodland

or patches of grass


flecks as a phantom

of feathers & gas


whiskers in whispers

& up with the lark


wild like a carrot

but blind in the dark

...
