…
cataracts & anoraks
sneezing in the pollen air
weasels on a rocking chair
crackle static loft
binary & spidery
mizzle of the mistletoe
pigging in the middletoe
butter-fingers crossed
flipping brains & shipping lanes
robins of the goblin's hood
knelling in the belling wood
dongs of dental floss
cigarettes & inner-sweats
maidens of the raven's caw
clawing on a phantom door
clatter pasture's croft
sandwiches & languages
summer on a salad tongue
badger-nap & ballad-spun
speckle elfin socks
pantaloons & afternoons
poetry is pickled eggs
roses, legs & scrambled heads
pencils pentecost
