september pens  (  snep rebmetpes  )

…

september pen with feathered quills

& drips of squid - a spider's web


a burst of birds, a host of crows

a turning tide, the flow & ebb


of creeping eves with twinkle toes

& broken odes in biscuit tins


a sinking hymn, the plug of glug

the water whirls, the water spins


the water falls upon the leas

& gargles through the afternoon


the calling corn, a sea of wheat

a brighter night - a harvest moon


the mizzle's mist, a spawning dawn

a sodden trudge, the smudge of lens


the fog of dog, the songs of swans

et cetera - september pens
