bonfire ( erifnob )
…
build with sticks – not stones
bits ‘n’ birch & branch of oak
last summer’s ragwort
brambles, bobs ‘n’ twigs
scrumpled sheets of poetry
nettles & regrets
leaves & sheeple masks
letters from the government
thorns of thicket’s thatch
with a guy atop
effigies of enemies
weasels run the whirled
check for hedgehogs first
badgers, owls & barrels of
rum – or gunpowder
if the ghost is clear
in the darkened garden’s blear
– spark that mother’ up
…
