4.44 a.m  (  m.a 44.4  )

…

 

as the turquoise cat

& the boy

from under the sofa

 

play a yellow cello

on the tip

of your left elbow

 

as the purple moon

in the corner

of the pantry

 

wails a tale of whales

in the kippers

of the morning

 

& the snoring shrew

in the shoe

beyond it all – or

 

clouds of thereabouts

over ghosts

of underneath

 

where the chorus crows

in the swirling

of a circle

 

as a mountain hare

pips the innards

of a pear

 

( so there )

…
