~

with y’ elf  (  fle ‘y htiw  )

…

mumble with y' elf

squawk before the dawn

utter buttercups

nutters stalk the morn


stumble with y' elf

bumble with the bees

cackle cabbage fly

scry above the trees


whistle with y' elf

whip the wind of south

west the eastern north

source the river's mouth


mizzle with y' elf

drizzle drips of hymns

drum the beat of feet

rhythm spins the limbs


chuckle with y' elf

grin the green of noon

neath the woodland's beams

'til the blooming moon


blossoms of an eve

plod the what's & where's

village weasels spy

knives within their stares


stagger with y' elf

drain the brain of dross

on a cobbled lane

blather salad toss


wander with y' elf

in a coat of grey

chase the phantom crows

flap & float away
