poem missing

have you seen it?

wormed & mongrel

phantoms of the land

inklings of the sinking

battleships & sand


children of the stilton

people of the cheese

fodder of the cobblers

nobble on & knees


nutters of the clutters

warbles of the mouth

horses for the courses

snorting north & south


messrs. of the lepers

lepers of the pen

mothers of the buzzards

muffin men & hens


gubbins of the island

gibbons of the globe

glimmers of the mirror

weaving - can you read me

inking in the mess

scribble squids a wood bench

fiddles still the feet

operas burr the copses

numbers chirp the tweets


blossom prods a noodle

crocus floats the sky

cotton ghosts the welkin

smelting in the eye


teasel pricks a weasel

bumble stirs the bee

burbles in the gurgles

circles in the scree


badgers bat a rafter

pastures lamb the baa

scribble squids a wood bench

spring is in the blah

( a u t h o r  n o d e s  )

if you see someone

out & about

& you don't know them

& said person is looking in their pockets

don't go up to them

& ask them what they're looking for

- that's nosy & a bit wank

-

someone did that to me earlier

so i told them fuck off & mind their own business

& they deserved that

( wankers )
