scrawl of balls of gas
stones are thrown in bungalows
splatterings of glass
shatters in the head
bursts of squirms of cans of worms
blurs of blethered bread
catch the cabbage fly
scratch the misted yawning tor
yet the blend is nigh
so the fro is fog
twists of tongues & mumbled drums
hills within a bog
codes within the ode
scatter cushion factories
fluster & explode
morning in a spin
hymns ‘n’ dreams of magic beans
on the dawning in

the kit

the kit ( tik eht )
…
paper planes, rusted keys
twisted tongues, dictionaries
solitude, hinterlands
inner-whirls, sinking sands
phantom hands, falling fruits
feathered friends, walking boots
bubble bath, drums ‘n’ brakes
bramble jam, jaffa cakes
cotton buds, undertows
overcoats, dominoes
cockleshells, ink in wells
lemon pith, silver bells
rubber ducks, onion tears
as the sun – disappears
scatter graphs, tangled knots
kitchen sinks, pissing pots

flavour of the moth

flavour of the moth ( htom eht fo ruovalf )

a punch in the balls
of sun-shunning cousins
lepidoptera emperors
elephantine hawks
sweet silken metaphors
& eaters of socks
them that hang with rabid cats
flaps between the bats
rising up with phosphorous
in the gloaming’s ghost
flutters of a sputtering
as an owlet howls
wing a spread – like butterflies
in the sweats of night
taste the licks of light again
– my tongue
is a flame

time twisting space
untied shoelaces
pennies from comets
manna from the sky gods
black dog turds
dead red ants
cow brown mud
the myth of solid ground
found backdoor keys
silver snail trails
pavement cracks hungering
rose petal snow
as you plod along
in your normalzzzzzzz world
clumps of chewing gum
under your footsteps

mumbles of thunder
tractor tailbacks
fumbles on haystacks
bumbling bees

listen to the snooze
& shat y’ padded pants
wipe y’ backside
with stockpiled bog roll
bang on pans ‘n’ pots
like a toddler on drums
live online
& shun the sun’s shine
eat baked beans
with y’ fingers from the tin
flea outdoors
& face the town’s clown frown
support y’ local shop
& the latest global race war
or you’re a wrong’un
soon to be erased
keep two metres
like chevrons on the m1
sneeze with caution
– it’s pantomime season
wash them hands
or a dying nan dies
fight the phantom flight
like a bear swatting flies
wear a sterilised
yashmak on the bus
be a good robot
a prole with no soul
