this is just a chain

this is just a chain  (  niahc a tsuj si siht  )





this is just a chain

apples in a cul-de-sac

bobbing on the lane


bobbing on the lane

under pickled onion suns

lizard blizzard brain


lizard blizzard brain

river ripple blithering's

phantom tangent plane


phantom tangent plane

alabaster anoraks

spot a gravy train


spot a gravy train

bubbles burst on brother earth

pissing rain again


pissing rain again

sing the hymn of saturn's rings

this is just a chain

ice came, ice thaw, ice conquered

~

ice came, ice thaw, ice conquered  (  dereuqnoc eci, waht eci, emac eci  )






the earth's an urn, a trudge of fudge

a phantom land upon the close

a sliding scale, a trail of sludge

a poet stirs, the serpents doze


a circle sings & stone is air

the crocus croak but not a frog

& night has flown but white's the hare

that's boxing in this belching bog


of squelching ground - the sound of swan

within the mists of in between

a sodden hymn, the gift of gone

a dance before this gland of green


is fever struck & strings are plucked

the woodland drips & all is thaw

as spring's unplugged but winter's fucked

the rest is wet, the rivers roar

pen then pen

pen then pen  (  nep neht nep  )







pen then pen

pepper crusted pencil necks


cut throat cuttlefish

slo-mo interlude


glue gun dog

sunken onion scatterings


bigwig little owl

mud brown trouser press


bright white light

lemon scented lententide


long, black cul-de-sac

catnap caravan


gleam green stream

seven sister planetoids


android adenoids

alabaster anorak

fading embers blacken

frozen elm blossom

fucking ether bonnets

floating earwig balladeers

feathered elfin bungalows

faraway's early birds

fried enzyme breadcrumbs

foxes eating breakfast

farting endamame beans

forgetful elephants blunder

fourteen ermine bursaries

fifteen eels bongo

frisking eastern breezes

filling egg baskets

flagellating easter's bollocks

for every badger

lemon lententide

lemon lententide  (  editnetnel nomel  )






swans upon a blossoming

boxing hares & swivel chairs

bicycles & icicles

cycles cyanide


diabetic hierophant

kiss the blizzard's lizard lips

broken biscuit blitherings

dog & bona fide


catalytic christenings

spin within the crystal air

is there life on marzipan?

lemon lententide


flapping phantom handlebars

purple myrtle myrmidons

mercury's a silver stream

rivers mystified

another fucking leap year poem

another fucking leap year poem  (  meop raey pael gnikcuf rehtona  )





january has fleas

but february is feathery



as spring sparks larks in march

& april's acrobaticals


with faith in may's eight maidens

looping blooming june's moons


higher in july

& hopping forth in august


'til september's ninja squirrels

& the bog frogs of october


float over november's ghost

december's dead

- & then


( ? )

lemon curd bird bath

feather head wednesday

blow your own gnosis

hideaway friday


ink in scrawl doses

pickle under onion skin

daze of the week


blather green bean bag

revolution 432

revolution 432  (  234 noitulover  )






seasons gleamings

feathered friends

dusters


cauliflower

cotton cloud

clusters


sputters utter

spiders spin

spirals


pickled cabbage

sandwiches

cycles


spins the middle

of the month's

morning


crunching numbers

thunder drums

warning


so, a poem

rivers twist

melons


summer salad

ballads suck

lemons


seven sisters

cygnus sings

swansongs


silver bullets

scatter graphs

long johns


startled starlings

starting go's

stopwatch


pocus hocus

broken toe

hopscotch


...

( author notes )

i stole the title of this poem from a book

revolution 432 is the name of a chapter

in the cygnus key by andrew collins

a fascinating read

which didn't really inspire this little scribble

beyond me nicking the title

but credit where credit's due

as all forms of plagiarism are utterly deplorable
