ruffle feathered quills
upon a muddled morning
milk the other udder
michaelmas ’til easter
antlers on a postcard, folks
glow within the marbles of
elephantine twilight
seek & ye shall firefly

catatonic crow
~
catatonic crow ( worc cinotatac )
…
thunder under rain
staggers in y’ anorak
clatter cabbage brain
wobble on & laugh
cauliflower power trips
tossers block the path
intermittent owl
mutant moons of jupiter
as the brambles growl
squiggles squid the nib
curtain twitchers curdle cream
skirt around the fib
weasel breezes blow
speckle spectred spectrograph
catatonic crow
flutter bumblebee
spread it like a butterfly
mumbles jumble me

fowl wordplay
~
fowl wordplay ( yalpdrow lwof )
…
late rain clouds burst
spurting blurs of bird
down upon the pastures
see the vees of skeins flap
on the sodden green leas
swan beyond the blue snooze
come & have a gander
– greylag geese

mask brigade masquerade ( edareuqsam edagirb ksam )
…
still the sniffles spin
‘rona drones, stroke a chin
scree between the dots
karens flap, banging pots
doom is on the snooze
twisting screws, blooming blues
smiling is a crime
in this pants pantomime
chuckle in the muck
weasels preach, leaches suck
scrawl as normalzzz falls
shitting bricks – rubber walls
smash the barricade
mask brigade masquerade
muzzled muppets dance
clattertrap’s happenstance
…
fare thee well
~
fare thee well ( llew eeht eraf )
…
it’s time to ride the diamond turnip
pie above the turtle doves
flying in the ocean’s lotions
scratch another cannonball
swan beyond the otter’s porridge
grease the knees of eventide
chase the changeling’s mutant poodle
smoothly – like a slimy lamprey
– shake the milky way
…
cometh the gone
~
cometh the gone ( enog eht htemoc )
…
after the spanners
tangles in brambles
scatters & scrambles
back in the yon
blistering ankles
scratching the haddock
naps in a hammock
spin avalon
saturn in patches
spaces in annals
faces in flannels
summer’s the don
jam in the jangles
letters & lettuce
cress in a crevice
salad & on
cabbages clatter
clutter & under
mumbles of thunder
cometh the gone
morning is crawling
autumn is calling
fog of a morning
singing a swan
…
notes on death
~
notes on death ( htaed no seton )
…
slip inside a night
brighter than a deep sleep
speckled flashing reds
& warm orange orbs
all the proper dogs
not the yapping rats
clarions & carrion
sirens sing a b-side set
bean green handstands
& ever-gloaming oceans
sinking in a sofa
glowing in a coma
blossoming a winter
float beyond the glossary
pen of yellow then
blooming blue infinitude
…
the cousin of bread
~
the cousin of bread ( daerb fo nisuoc eht )
…
a breakfast friend
the cousin of bread
a knife in hand
& butter is spread
a scrunching lunch
a supper, a tea
with margarine
& runny honey
a scented star
the king of the crunch
a bed f’ beans
a pinch & a punch
the chief of charred
a hymn in the air
the king of crisp
& chairman of yeahhh
a fibrous sprite
a round of the brown
a glue f’ pooh
& gobble it down
a sort of nod
a cheer & a sup
& disappear
the bottoms of up
a slice of slang
for that which is done
the fucked, the dead
the buggered ‘n’ spun
a sign, a post
& rhymer of ghost
or northernmost
– this poem is toast
