peck with the pigeons

peck with the pigeons  (  snoegip eht htiw kcep  )

…




badger a badger

& fish with the fly

swim with the mackerel

& scatter the sky


snort with the horses

& box with a frog

spar with a llama

& lark with the dog


trot with the foxes

& caw with the rooks

worm in the earthen

& squirm in the books


blizzard a lizard

& riddle the newts

blend with the penguins

& waddle in suits


leap with a leopard

& race with a snail

swarmings of hornets

a sting in the tail


war with the walrus

& nap with the cats

rat in y'rafters

& flap with the bats


waffle with otters

a twist of the tongue

heave with the beetles

the shit & the dung


fuddle a pheasant

& polish a shrew

peck with the pigeons

& sing with a coo

...

chaffinch in the chitter chatters  (  srettahc rettihc eht ni hcniffahc  )

…






chaffinch in the chitter chatters

moth the loft & bat the rafters

scrawl the storming of a morning

drain the brain of pitter patters


pissing on with pens & pencils

kitchens sing of sinking vessels

span the swirling of the blurring

purring dogs & cats & kennels


catch the breezes on the sneezes

seek the mole of holes in cheeses

in the jungle of the mumbles

springing on as summer freezes


autumn falls & all is flutters

butter thumbs & suns in gutters

gibber gurgles, spin in circles

speak the sheet of fucking nutters


float with ghosts & dance with phantoms

clucking on & crow with bantams

pipping apples, hymning chapels

spitting atoms - rasping cannons


chaffinch in the chitter chatters

moth the loft & bat the rafters

scrawl the storming of a morning

drain the brain of pitter patters

weasels sing with larks

pissing in the parks


circuses & bread

turds within their head


serpents in the inns

hymn as piddle spins


speak & feed the flies

knives within their eyes


i upon a squawk

churning cheese to chalk


dance as adders prance

foil the boil & lance


dodge the spit of wraiths

vermin, apes & snakes


piffle, spooks & rats

neighbours flapping shat


shrew the universe

versing to reverse


spell as bells are rung

dung upon their tongues


hare the air & brood

in lieu of rectitude


weasels sing with larks

pissing in the parks

the hymn of inner-pickles

~

the hymn of inner-pickles  (  selkcip-renni fo nmyh eht  )

…





hum the hymn of inner-pickles

spin within the chitter chatters

knell the bells of bats & babbles

blither as the river ripples


blither as the river ripples

buzz the fuzz of fleas in bonnets

poncing not of prose or sonnets

warble as the walrus whistles


warble as the walrus whistles

in the ring of springing onions

crow the ode of dung & dungeons

scatter graphs & thistle bristles


scatter graphs & thistle bristles

badgers, beggars, snarks & marbles

leper letters - piss the parcels

organists with extra nipples


organists with extra nipples

songs upon the depths of ditches

burble birds & twitching witches

sneeze the breeze & cheese the riddles


sneeze the breeze & cheese the riddles

catching echoes in the meadows

as above & so the bellows

hum the hymn of inner-pickles

august is calling

august is calling  ( gnillac si tsugua  )

…





august is calling

maunders a morning


sings with the kettle

bristles the dawning


whistles of thistles

drizzle is pouring


babbles the brambles

taps on the awning


gargles a garden

rivers are roaring


spins in the thicket

nettles are sprawling


mumbles of thunder

buzzards are soaring


adders & ladders

staggers & stalling


clouded & shrouded

summer is crawling


orchards are heaving

carrion squalling


back is the endish

petals are falling


green is the evening

august is calling

an assortment of bobs

an assortment of bobs  (  sbob fo tnemtrossa na  )

…






rubber ducks on duck ponds

quacking at the swans


apples in a pale

on a misted eve in autumn


driftwood on the ocean

seeking distant beaches


bodies by the towpath

corpses in canals


heads & necks in drum-spun

bits & beats of rhythm


sprites up in the night's bright

dodging satellites


flocks of nodding wagtails

prancing with the pigeons


& a loon beneath the moonbeams

- probably, your uncle

i’m the tortoise

i’m the tortoise  (  esiotrot eht m’i  )

…





i'm the tortoise, son of thunder

thane of merchants, trade & plunder


tablets green & votive candles

weasel schemes & flaps in sandals


shielding sheep & strumming lyres

king of swindles, gifting fires


khan of parcels, christmas sweaters

post-it notes & scribbled letters


sweating feathers of an evening

rising when the sun is beaming


in the twinkle's brightness winking

shite a flipping brick if sinking


shades of red & days of static

queues of putrid, stagnant traffic


i'm the tortoise, son of thunder

if inverted - buckle under
