–
the song beyond ( dnoyeb gnos eht )
…
the song beyond is calling me
the sun, a hum – a bumblebee
a creaking door, the siren air
the gift of mist & bright’s the hare
a lark, a hark & sound around
the squelching belch of sodden ground
a river roars a choral flow
a spinning hymn – the roses glow
a scattering – a burst of bird
it’s lyrical – but not a word
the pageantry – the pipes of pan
as weasels pop the shite of man
& badgers dance a reelsome eight
the otter opera’s oscillate
the wave’s refrain is gravy trains
& floating notes in hazy brains
a knelling bell, a singing swan
the end’s a bend & springing on’s
the out again – the never’s death
the pounding rain, a hatchling’s breath
this music in the mutant glue
a sort of shrew within y’ shoe
a rising sky, a falling tree
the song beyond is calling me
…
( author notes )
apologies if you’re reading this poem
& there’s an advert about 2/3 of the way down
like what when i read it & that
breaking up the flow
but that said …
i don’t have any say over the ads
& make eff-all money off this site
( bar the odd book purchase that might come from a reader on here )
so blame automattic
the parent company of wordpress, tumblr, gravatar
& some other sinister minions
that’s they’re doing, not mine
( peace )
