build a castle from a sandwich

~

build a castle from a sandwich  (  hciwdnas a morf eltsac a dliub  )





squawking on in steps & stumbles

leaden legged & specks of scumbles


neath the beeches & the oaken

speak the splatter of unspoken


sunken hymns & bits of bobbins

sylpihd finches, bobbing robins


drain the brain of pitter pattern

spinning with the rings of saturn


mumble drums & bumble riddles

bee the beat until it drizzles


crusted crumbs & scraps of language

build a castle from a sandwich


telephones & springing onions

metronome the dung of dungeons


in the scribble of the scrawling

swans upon a misted morning

...































































 

the ink within

~

the ink within  (  nihtiw kni eht  )





the ink within a swimming head

a pencil case, a lick of lead

the spy of i as spiders spin

a web within a potting shed


a pinching punch, a scrunch of scrap

a burst of birds , a flock of flap

the spots 'n' dots of let's begin

a basin brain, a dancing tap


a spoke ode, a bumblebee

the lottery of prosody

a broken strophe, a stroke of chin

a storm within a cup of tea


the mumbles of a riddle's rhyme

a knelling bell, a distant chime

a phantom scrawl, a drawing pin

a trail of snail - the stuff of slime


a sort of door, a river too

a gleaming stream, a whiff of glue

a smorgasbord, a dorsal fin

a burning bush, a turning shrew


the chattering of hinterlands

a song upon the sinking sands

the spouting out of inner-spin

the parps & larks of marching bands


the daze of rain, a paper plane

the once upon of swans again

a squirm of worms within a tin

the hazy daze of gravy train


the ink within a swimming head

a pencil case, a lick of lead

the spy of i as spiders spin

but that'll do - & back to bed

the lens of fog

~

the lens of fog  (  gof fo snel eht  )






the lens of fog is misted here

a frog of fudge, a smudge, a smear


the speak of sleep & catch awake

the branches dance as antlers shake


a cloak of oak, a hood of wood

it's analogue & stump's the stood


a snarl of gnarls, a sneeze of trees

& earthen squirms beneath the breeze


upon this swan, a song of fade

a signet ring within the glade


the blinkers bat an attic's stead

a hinterland of licks of lead


with legs of bread - a nip of cat

a dripping tap, a coup d'etat


a slap of chin & churn of shrew

the game of tame & gurgle through


a glossary of tosser i

a ship within a bottlefly


the kipper years, a leaping weir

the goggle stuff of ginger beer


the tocks of ticks & bricks of wall

the flight of eyes & rise of fall


upon a hill, the staggers stand

the hare is there, a marching band


that blasts until the see is stars

a repertoire of reservoirs


so pen until the doze of dog

within the mist - the lens of fog

...

& fish with the fly

& scatter the sky


snort with the horses

& box with a frog

& lark with the dog


trot with the foxes

& caw with the rooks

worm in the earthen

& squirm in the books


blizzard a lizard

& riddle the newts

blend with the penguins

& waddle in suits


leap with a leopard

& race with a snail

swarmings of hornets

a sting in the tail


war with the walrus

& nap with the cats

rat in y'rafters

& flap with the bats


waffle with otters

a twist of the tongue

heave with the beetles

the shit & the dung


fuddle a pheasant

& polish a shrew

peck with the pigeons

& sing with a coo

chaffinch in the chitter chatters  (  srettahc rettihc eht ni hcniffahc  )






chaffinch in the chitter chatters

moth the loft & bat the rafters

scrawl the storming of a morning

drain the brain of pitter patters


pissing on with pens & pencils

kitchens sing of sinking vessels

span the swirling of the blurring

purring dogs & cats & kennels


catch the breezes on the sneezes

seek the mole of holes in cheeses

in the jungle of the mumbles

springing on as summer freezes


autumn falls & all is flutters

butter thumbs & suns in gutters

gibber gurgles, spin in circles

speak the sheet of fucking nutters


float with ghosts & dance with phantoms

clucking on & crow with bantams

pipping apples, hymning chapels

spitting atoms - rasping cannons


chaffinch in the chitter chatters

moth the loft & bat the rafters

scrawl the storming of a morning

drain the brain of pitter patters

hope floats over village spillage  (  egallips egalliv revo staolf epoh  )






weasels sing with larks

pissing in the parks


circuses & bread

turds within their head


serpents in the inns

hymn as piddle spins


speak & feed the flies

knives within their eyes


i upon a squawk

churning cheese to chalk


dance as adders prance

foil the boil & lance


dodge the spit of wraiths

vermin, apes & snakes


piffle, spooks & rats

neighbours flapping shat


shrew the universe

versing to reverse


spell as bells are rung

dung upon their tongues


hare the air & brood

in lieu of rectitude


weasels sing with larks

pissing in the parks
