broken october ( a n o t h e r o c t o b e r p o e m )
…
a scatter of branches in phantoms of prances
& ganders with antlers in staggers of dances
a mist in the mizzle, a fist in the riddle
a maze in the haze of the fade-fiddle-diddle
or bitch in a battle, a witch in a cackle
as swan is the addle with bats on the saddle
at then in the morning as woodland is spawning
an octopus crawling with tentacles trawling
& down spins the plover as brown is the clover
it's piss it & biscuits - it's broken october
