june is a balloon ( noollab a si enuj )
…
once upon a calendar as the moth of may scarpers on sabbatical larks & fades away annually, a sort of door creaks as finches fledge hymns emerge from bursting beaks singing in the hedge canticles & clattertrap with the woodland elves gnomes are mowing astroturf poems write themselves photographs are tapestries rabbits catch the clap underneath a cloak of oak shepherds wank & nap roses glow beside the lane snakes awake & doze flutterings of butterfly pollen up y' nose gleaming is a silver stream as the rivers run breezes frisk the greening trees underneath the sun allium & lavender blooming like the moon summer is a gravy train june is a balloon roving as a floating ghost in the spindle sky soaring with the twinkle balls up until july ...

this country lane ( enal yrtnuoc siht )
…
quivers in a blue cagoule
hum a hymn & wander on
crows & poems peck the head
squawking with this ball & chain
flutters in the moth of june
puddles pool - a splosh of feet
fingers slip as noses drip
buttercups are on the brain
fields of wheat are shifting seas
waving as the thunder drums
mumbles in a shroud of cloud
jumble down this country lane
til the sun erupts & smiles
glow with ghosts & rove for miles
float if roses war with thorns
bee the breeze & sup the rain
( cheers )

four months from candlemas ( sameldnac morf shtnom ruof )
…
four months from candlemas
music spews into the breeze
crops crow & roses glow
buttercups suckle the bees
hymns spin as plover rove
squirrels jig up in the trees
four months from candlemas
music spews into the breeze
four months from candlemas
butterflies flutter the sky
goosegrass & dragon snaps
dragonflies, tangles & i
snarks bark as gardens glow
rivers flow - glimmering by
four months from candlemas
butterflies flutter the sky
eight months til candlemas
all that is greening shall brown
death wakes & branches shake
people wheeze, sneeze & fall down
seas change - the kitchen sinks
kiss the mist, whistle & drown
eight months til candlemas
all that is greening shall brown
four months from candlemas
stroll in the doldrums of noon
growl til the owlets howl
under a hologram moon
strum with the lemon sun
sung on the second of june
four months from candlemas
hummin' this folkin' folk tune

upon a song in may ( yam ni gnos a nopu )
…
a maiden swishes ribbons an ancient gibbon spell a band of brass is standing as morris dancers knell & foxes in their gloves trot as breezes frisk the air & leeches lurk in churches a hymn is in the air the dawn is but a chorus as sure as rome's a road & hordes of warblers warble a sort of warbled code & butterflies are faeries with fairly faerie wings the blossoming is snowing & so it plucks those strings a rumble on the compass a skip upon the tongue a weasel in a haystack a beetle pushing dung a nymph is tinging cymbals the bees of bumble hum & deep within the woodland a badger bangs a drum as serpents stir in pastures the grass is making hay a sea of green is gleaming upon a song in may the buttercups are spreading & blooming like the moon the speckled sky is spinning into the blue of june ...
