blue july  (  n u f f  s a i d  f o r  o n c e  )

…

hedges row & ants with wings

dragon as the adder sings

allegro of sinking things

roses red & rye


orchards snore & moorland burns

runner beans as summer churns

green is gurning in the ferns

bottle drop & fly


bramble jams & thicket thicks

babbles as the lizard spits

battle bat & wicket stick

shit a brick & cry


colour floats & colour fades

poets poke the sputter haze

stutters in a nutter maze

prickle pig & sty


breezes sneeze & scar tissues

breath is bent as marbles spews

death chars on the barbecue

blue july - & i


rivers pant as pasture browns

thunder drums - the clatter drowns

slipping grips on ladders down

shudder earth & sky
