neht ecnis ( since then )

…

the squashes are out

tomatoes in the greenhouse

runner beans speeding

up the greasy cane

a cloudburst came

& the garden sang

in the air tonight

waterloo & agadoo

the light still trips

& that tap still drips

it can’t be the washer

& the dog’s well fed

a partridge in a pear tree

shat on my cagoule

the schools have reopened

but they fear the phantom sniffles

like what normalzzz does

when the daze is shades of beige

the foxgloves are here

in the hedgerows – on the meadows

plus i’ve heard a curlew

warble of a morning

sleep is fugitive

time is an onion
