i’ve seen you since i.c.u
jackdaw of this yawning’s walk
caw a morning’s sylphid lea
bobbing in aurora’s mist
pigeon on the garden fence
chatterings of chaffinches
swishing swifts once camlann snatched
bouncing black like arthur’s chough
roundabouts & owl again
signets sing of saturn’s rings
as a hatchling winter wren
struts the stuff of pheasant legs
warble with the choral calls
chuckles under second suns
flapping neath the even’s eves
curlew as the curfew flags
lapwing laughing overhead
sights in flight for sleepless eyes
‘pon a roving afternoon’s
feathered haze of yester-daze
nightingale of waxing moons
speckled sparrow shadow man
psychopomp & circumstance
nimble winged since breath bent left

replaying tape-looped
lacerated overtures
scatter saturnalia
i see unicorns
trains & satellites
space-time cul-de-sacs
deep blue inbetween
black dawn choruses
undone underling
late spring’s stinging tails
snakes & scorpions
seesaw seasoning
glow ghost manuscripts
pin drop passages
let’s bee, avenues
bean green death
