throbbing chests & ventricles rotting stocks & pedestals jawing doors & mandible sobbing plods & festivals hooding woods & pentacles drifting mist & chemicals leaving gleams & flammable flapping flesh & skeletal sinking ink & legible crunching crush & flexible singing swans & madrigal hooting roots & vegetables smearing blear & spectacles slipping quips & tetsable shaping wraith & tangibles eight of ten & tentacles ...

gripping slips as apples juice whipping lips & paratroops ankles eye the phantom train pantomimes & flannel suits bubbles bob as buzzards swoop pigeon piss & rotten fruits singing songs of puddle brains headless newts & chocolate mousse salad tongues as hula hoops twiddled toes & lunar loops drizzles on the riddled lane mistletoe & prostitutes pickle sticks as cauldrons soup sunken suns & golden flutes letters stem the daisy chain muffles in me muddled boots ...

autumble ( a p o e m f o r . . . )
…
the fields have fledged - their crops have flown
& hog's the hedge as feet they roam
the barns are calm & lofts are hay
as trees they swirl & fade to crone
the hills seem green - the mares are roan
& hares they snore as spores are sewn
the dogs are frogs - the cats are strays
as clouds they shroud & mouths they foam
the ponds are splosh if rocks are thrown
& bird's the blur as earth's the tone
the doves are rooks or so folk say
as wraiths they stir & ghosts they groan
the land is sleep - the stones are bones
& nights they creep to fight the gloam
the plod is fog in socks of grey
as songs are sung & winds are blown
...

…
ram the speak of trampled trails in flopping flocks of one span the bleak of amber ales in spattered spits of songs steam the train of rusty rails in signet rings of swan huff the chuff of gusty gales & gander geese the gone bang the pang of rusty nails in pastures of the wise slang the damn of sliding scales in fractures of the skies twirl the whirl of curly kale in wrinkles of an eye ride the slime of racing snails & briefly pause for pie seek the throngs of burning bales in raging fogs of yon beak the gongs of quirky quails in piffle pecks of bong spook the toes of ghostly tales in tickled ticks of wrong scold the holes in buckets pale & fuck it - stroll some on tread the troughs of peakland dales in sunken plods of high head the flight of soaring whales in puzzled thoughts of why flap the vast of vacant vales in quaking shapes of rise live your life like sofa sales & never then you'll die ...
