after the splatter

~

after the splatter  (  rettalps eht retfa  )






roses glow & noses roam

rivers run, the oceans groan


badgers dance & rabbits skip

breezes sneeze & branches drip


droplets on a thinking cap

pandas prance & catch the clap


dragons snap as nettles sting

onion spring & kettles sing


pipers pipe as gutters spew

butterflies in scrys of blue


bursts of bird as twitchers twitch

seas of wheat & deep's the ditch


grasses green as apples red

weevils weave within the head


bits of hymns as scribbles ink

summer suns & puddles shrink

...

juggernaut underpins neptune's earwigs


jeering ukulelists noosing europa


junkers ushering nutmeg elephants


jesuits urinate neon eels


jitterbug uncles never expected


juggling urials, nincompoop elves


judas's unsung november excrement


janus's uranium nourishing earth

this bus stop smells

~

this bus stop smells  (  sllems pots sub siht  )





this bus stop smells

of pickled eggs


& whitsun eves

on ganymede


the morning yawns

of george the fourth


& treacle tarts

with clotted cream


a musty book

a badger bark


the smoking ghost

of joan of arc


plus silver bells

& cockle shells


with hints of piss

this bus stop smells

selected ambient worms

~

selected ambient worms  (  smrow tneibma detceles  )




sound & round the garden

circling the earthen


spoon the sun & sparkle

tickles in a tin can


squirming in the dawn's yawn

lurking under rhubarb


rumbles in the head's stead

pastarolly the bees hum


beats upon a bonnet

sonnets in a songbook


hooks & cracks of whiplash

gurning so in slow-mo


shapes of space & tape looped

echos in the hedgerows


early birds are catching

crackles in the distance

...

























































spin the middle of the moth

~

spin the middle of the moth  (  htom eht fo elddim eht nips  )




rain is on the brain again

in the gland of sinking sand

scumbles under onion skin

cotton socks & contraband


roving with october's ghost

gargles in the arse of june

piddle peas in mizzle march

gleaming is a sugar spoon


stirring sups in cups of tea

ponce upon a kitchen sieve

calendars & colanders

bumble on & bee the div


babble in the bubble's black

spin the middle of the moth

til the bastard sings a swan

flutters on & buggers off

...























































































 

pick a pickled

~

pick a pickled  ( delkcip a kcip )


pick a pickled cabbage rhyme

acid brain & alkaline

dance a heap of steaming sheet

panting ants & pantomime


play the petered piper's bags

stitch the witch of tattered rags

hop the lair of yonder hare

may the pole & fly with flags


smoke the mope of dopamine

spilling hills as oceans gleam

figaro the river so

flap a bat & cat the cream


spot the dog & stone a prune

float with ghosts & lick the moon

pick a pickled cabbage rhyme

spiral in the afternoon
