new wellington boots ( a poem fit for a duke in a duffel coat )
…
hark - the fields are alive many squelches below heavy rain's sodden toll as folk go to & fro yes them ducks have done well chocolate caked is the land there is mud upon mud but it stops not my plans as i stride without pride lest i slip & then fall 'stead a spring in my steps like the bouncing of balls as that sun-thing comes out then shines on yon green shoots my feet keep bone-dry in - new wellington boots - ...

it’s not the end of the moth ( some truths )
…
it's the end of the month

grim again ( some weather-verse )

it's grim again
grey clouds & rain
the river's full

yet on time goes
as cruel winds blow
when will it end?
nobody knows
i hope it stays
fuck part-time rays
the sun's a ****
i love these days
