friends of feathered quills

friends of feathered quills  (  slliuq derehtaef fo sdneirf  )






friends of feathered quills

ferrets in a trouser press


yeoman in a toga

crested newts in shell suits


spies behind the wall

rearranging breathing


dung upon their tongue

flare & snare the haring


onanistic toss

prayers upon a paper plane


letters in the clouds

up against the walrus


snap's a cul-de-sac

clutter scrawls a cuttlefish


porpoises & pearls

pissing spurts of purple

...



























































 

smoking salmon pink

~

smoking salmon pink  (  knip nomlas gnikoms  )



smoking salmon pink

weaving pins & needles


seek the chalk of cheese

chasing herrings red


kipper in this sleep

spinning paper plates


stickleback the front

warble forth & fifth


under witching witching moons

as the kettle's crooning


for the corvid dove

cod is love above


smoking salmon pink

weaving pins & needles


hazing lemonade

winter rose petals

...





















 

bloody venus …

~

bloody venus … (  … sunev ydoolb  )



candle flames of cinnabar

capers in a cable car


bird a bursting reservoir

suck the lemon's seminar


comatose the commissar

clutch a phantom handlebar


piffle piddle, scribble blah

scrawling with the morning star


...





































 

track listing

~

track listing  (  gnitsil kcart  )





trains on the brain

deer steering trams


antlers on a postcard

garden gnomes a roaming


crackles on the gramophone

warbles of a morn


sixteen minute bongo solos

perch & bike on bicycles


poetry on pogo sticks

snails of distant dales


songs in breathless heads

where the dead men stop


with ants in their pants

- & that song about an owl


otters in monster trucks

badgers in tractors

...






























 

of stolen sleep

~

of stolen sleep  (  peels nelots fo   )





scribbles on a paper plane

ink the hymn of stolen sleep

spin the spawn of sisyphus

laugh at shat as weasels creep


warbles of the broken ode

suckle not the pot of toss

or the war of banging doors

rubber balls & stalker dross


nature sees the tails of snakes

hears the blear of little men

bitching of an even black

flapping with the winter wren


sinking with the phantom sun

lick the mist & kiss the swan

so the moon is blooming true

float with stoats & badger on

...











































 

roaming in the gloaming

~

roaming in the gloaming  (  gnimaolg eht ni gnimaor  )






rabbits on the pastures

hopping as a bean

bursting is the blackbird's

stuff of in between


muffles in the shuffles

flutter butterfly

moths emerge & circle

shepherds scan the sky


red above & smiling

silver, gold & chrome

clouded shrouds of mackerel

cows are coming home


nightingales in copses

hymn the dales & lark

hark, the trot of foxes

rabid badgers bark


whispers in the grasses

chatters in the ear

green becomes the blackness

people disappear


burglars are stirring

phantoms on the prowl

wander in this whirring

til the owlets howl


gleaming is the evening

see the rivers run

roaming in the gloaming

sinking with the sun


spinning on a sixpence

after afternoon

squinting eyes & skyward

rising with the moon
