up on yon moorland amid eerie fog where heather grows so by y'oldey peat bogs beyond the tree-line where cautious owls hoot there may be ghost tales & legends to boot ...

esoteric chaffinches ( some shit by me for all yous out theres )
…
yes sunday is the curate's egg
the synergy of gathered time
it's energy - our shattered heads
the weathering of battered rhymes
its gravy flowing through our veins
those crumbles in our custard creams
a gentle tap upon our brains
et déjà vu within our dreams
it's esoteric chaffinches
& pretty maids all in a row
all puzzled polecat - laughing fish
& television comatosed
it's drunken uncles stuck up trees
long strolls along the edge's span
tis one for you - fifteen for me
it's babychamed diazepamed

( occasionally ) ( an observation in rhyme )
…
yes sometimes they're a swan
gliding down the garrone
when they're not dead round
in y'old avalon
& sometimes they're planets
there arranged in night's sky
when they're un-nested
or faint nebulae
tickling our wide-pie-eyes
muddying our said-heads
or they're chesterfield
when not beside beds
plus maybe you're one too
you're foolish like april
( but )
occasionally all of
those tables are tables
