the song beyond  (  dnoyeb gnos eht  )

…

the pollen pecks, the sneezes blow

a southerly & petals snow


a pheasant struts, the robins nest

the eastern beasts, the wets of west


& polar flaps are phantoms here

as ants are dancing in the clear


within the pants of breathing air

a floating stoat, a weasel there


with crows above - the grass beneath

is gleaming green - upon a heath


the gorses bloom, the brambles thirst

a chorus calls between the bursts


the song beyond the shrouds of grey

another cloudless april day


the rain's in spain or timbuktu

& england bathes in shades of blue

...
