lost in muesli ( ilseum ni tsol )

…

deader than prince phillip
rosencratz or elvis

woe’s a broken flow
a simian simile

a monkey up a tree
a gibbon wrapped in ribbons

the road ahead is blueness
& not on google earth

the birth of venus teases
a botticelli bot

& huff behind the blinds
saving us from daylight

the morn’ before i saw
a kingfisher catch

a freshwater kraken
the size of an ice cream van

& ran home to tell
the man on the news

who laughed at my tale
the rest’s a beached whale

a bee in a sonnet
a pocketful of breadcrumbs

dreaming still of yous
in me unlaced oxford shoes

…
