a sinking song ( gnos gniknis a )
…
a sinking song, a creeping night
the squall is balls & caterwauls
a plumber in a vicarage
a bed of bugs - the evenings bite
the yawn is dew & dawn's a witch
a vista hymns a mutant hue
a daze the shade of pencil lead
a host of crows, a brimming ditch
within a wink, a blink, a nudge
the toast is burnt & babylon
an adder crawls - the pastures call
with leaden legs - a sodden trudge
upon a path, another page
the breezes blow, an orchard snows
& apples dance a reelsome eight
a squirm of worms & fade to beige
or thereabouts - the ups of down
a splosh upon a puddle's pond
the ripples of october's ghost
a woodland in a gown of brown
the cracks of black beyond the green
the wheat is gold - this dream is old
a roman nose, a saxon tongue
an undercoat, a submarine
the hobbled hymn of shrinking moons
an ode upon a stool of toad
a leaky lea of avalon
the stuff of swans - brunhilda croons
a canticle, the ding of dong
the strut of ruts & stag along
the mist of picts & pickle on
within the mist - a sinking song
