…

dream like a yesterday

      daze of the week

we become eye

      starfish & spillage

      down in the brown creek

– perhaps a campanologist?

      strike while the iron

is hotter than a dwarf

all becomes drums

      paradiddles piddle

this is the song

      of a strawberry milksop

      shaking like a parcel

ticking ’til the boom

      blooming in late may

rogered by august

so the gibbons glib

      am-dram, thank you man

spoonerisms rule

      so we don’t five a guck

      interference here

cackles on the radio

      vindaloo in lieu

snap, crackle & poppadom

avalon me arse

      aardvarks love a scrap

books on every shelf

      dusted like the done

      flaming fat ladies

burn like pudding lane

      bollocks on the brain

but not a swan in sight

…

…

the george & dragon snap

the tinker’s nipple

the albino snark

the horny akela

the king’s hedgehog

the queen’s pidgin english

the herring red lion

the black horsefly

the onbudsman’s ankles

the chest feeder’s bollocks

the travellers wrestle

the phantom arms

the dog rose & crown

the park keeper’s anus

the rocking horse & hellhounds

the dude of wellington

the dupe of york

the green man … alishi

the costerman’s bum fluff

the do my fucking head inn

…

~

a twenty p piece

a golden pheasant’s feather

& the washing up

…

…

the ghost is a strobe
light like smoke

robed like a sunday
stones in your pocket

space in your mouth
gaps between nebulae

say what you meantime
uttering moons

down under earthen
where is a weather map

muttering toast
pushing up buttercups

boohoo blue boy
soy milk moobies

cows somehow
greener pastures preen

prequels & shattered glass
gasping like gosh

washing your socks
in a rusty trough

once was a book
bursting with hymns

but these seesaws
& comatosed kisses

…

…

five fat chaffinches

chariots of fireflies

motorway jam sets

~

ice cream vangelis

episodic bird scarers

ruffle your crow’s feet

~

pan is a panda

valkyries in waxed bikinis

aspidistra this

~

climate cult sirens

fruit cake bots in green jackboots

grey day afternoons

~

hedgehog holidays

scrumping blueberry moonbeams

splendiferous shite

~

hosepipe hosiery

rumplestiltskin’s swingball serve

is a hunchback hand
