doctor harold shipman’s lonely hearts club band ( dnab bulc straeh ylenol s’nampihs dlorah rotcod )

…

best before august

sixteen forty four

friends of the bend

in the fork on the lane

rain between sleet

come a quarter to three

chequered like chess

west in a vest

east up a tree

alder or rowan

i’m in the attic

laughing with the cobwebs

whence is it spring?

when the soil uncoils

crocus not locust

feasts for the eyelets

fly, little owl

tawny or barn

glow with the flow

bark in the darkness

written by ghosts

( inklings of squid )

god is a parsnip

she is a plum
