watching stars die ( reworking of an older post )
…
lobtailling, wasailling cloisters, spume & elbow grease thorpe cloud, the turin shroud cauliflowers, thought police titus oates, capsized boats apple pips & envelopes wheelbarrows, helium hydrogen & artichokes siren flash, catnip rush eleanor of aspartame weather vanes, fastnet, tyne marmalade & acid rain trombones & paper clips save the carrot, swans with songs flaming ghosts, babylon a quick squint-blink ( & then it's gone ) ...

midas piss ( some contemporary pastoral bollocks )
…
the morn is gold as midas piss then palpitate our minds are fish among the air on land - on feet the sky's still blue but bird song's sweet like irn bru so hit them fields or so to speak the earth too feels as thoughts they drip the many leaks monsters still lurk there in the deep but fuck that wank feel free to swear there's no way that ma nature cares she made this shit - oh look, a swift with stuff they've nicked for you - a gift then thereupon our footpath green a clover grows with leaves thirteen so lucky us truly we're blessed this scenery fills in the rest ...

startled by sparkles ( some o’that ( y’twat ) )
…
i'm startled by sparkles
as gargoyles they gargle

the stream ( some thoughts in v e r s e )
…
sometimes it creeps
sometimes it flows
great gushes then
then the mind goes
in torrents or
gently down stream
merrily? yes
life's but a dream
sometimes it flows
back in reverse
confounding some
( a gift or curse? )
sometimes it stops
sometimes it's dry
the gods must know
we don't know why
