spinning in the month of jan

spinning in the month of jan ( meop lanosaes a )
…
sledging from a hillock's head
trudging on a sodden path
legs of lead & kiss the mist
yonder is a scatter graph
roaming in a leafless wood
gloaming in the afternoon
sputter dust until the dark
barking at a lupus moon
sliding on the ice's black
rasping ash & clasping straws
squinter life is hellebore
singing songs of doors & thaws
dripping on a sheet of snow
spit the shit that hits the fan
circle twirls until the spring
spinning in the month of jan

how to catch a church mouse

how to catch a church mouse ( ffuts citcadid )
…
as a rubber ball, if falling
on a breeze as colds
sneezing from the tors of moorlands
to the bogs of wolds
in the church's dirt they're lurking
chewing on a pew
running through the organ's organs
as the buggers do
shitting on the vicar's hymn books
pissing in the font
nibbles on communion crackers
in their restaurant
sweetly sleep the congregation
dreams of cakes & doves
sit with nimble, ninja fingers
wear a pair of gloves
as the waxen candles flicker
phantom flaps of flame
grab as fattened cats are napping
play the bloody game
...

voles in the doldrums ( emyhr fo mrof a si noitaretilla )
…
sunken as sand
spring is an earwig
winter's a mangle
wring in the year
portals & all
dog under blanket
snore as a dormouse
warm in this house
sun on the run
running as honey
leeches & money
fumbles in gloves
cold on the moors
walruses warble
voles in doldrums
dream of a breeze

three speckled treecreepers whisper in a hazel wood underneath a grey sheet in between the breeze four black jackdaws bobbing on the sodden mud down in the brown beside the barn - behind the graveyard five bright unicorns roaring in my hinterland cans of custard - castanets cabbages & cats six fat chaffinches splashing in a bird bath soon it shall be afternoon ( jacket not coat ) ...
