gift me this ( siht em tfig )

…

unicorn shoe’s

chocolate sombreros

      a majick rubber chicken

      laying rubber eggs

a poem in me head

a hymn that shakes the dead

      a robot gerbil

      that washes up the dishes

musical chairs

what sing a saucy ballad

      silent, crownless crackers

      the turin shroud’s knacker’s

truth on the tongue

of the brain-stream snooze

     sasquatch pube’s

     or a yeti’s bottled sweat

sir gawain’s wavy

circadian rhythm’s

      i.e

      a good knight’s sleep

mushy peas on earth

a parsnip in a pear tree

     cromwell’s brain

     pickled in a jar

…

intermission mash

~

intermission mash ( hsam noissimretni )

…

moss is greener now
cheese & pickle sandwiches

sirens singing bye
adieu to you
i’m ambulanced

pencil in a seven
see the starlings, darling

louder than a barn owl
screeching
down a megaphone

don’t forget a key
& biscuits for the dog

then things speckle
as an egg
beneath a hen

while my henry hoover
gently weeps

quiet like a miming choir
or a poltergeist
in a coma

muse is a river

~

muse is a river ( revir a si esum )

…

drift of the scribbles, quibbles in i
ripple of riddles, slice of the pi

pizza the puzzle, source of the roar
blowing a bubble, jig of the saw

plod with a pencil, sod of the off
notes of the mentalz, peaks in a trough

floatings of flotsam, blossom in spring
life of a possum, sultan of sing

cousin of cabbage, mother of flux
finding the language, quacking with ducks

laughing at normalz – nothing is there
prancing through portals, boxing the hare

hill in a mirror, scrys & the lows
muse is a river – go where she flows

shit in a forest, piss in the sea
gland of the promised, manna is she

14n21 ( 12n41 )

…

once upon a mellotron
twisting winter’s melons

when the penny droplets
turn on a sixth sense

seven heads for hekate
khroncile the khaos

yes, the internet’s a shill
& not your long lost uncle

living in a bolted holt
but otter than that

sing a song of owls abound
& gravy boats in navies

then the west is easternmost
so the south is norther

or a distant parsnip
parping on the wind

while the future’s tuesday
with a wolfish huff

as a goblin howls
in the cavern’s bowels

blow another candle
on your hamster’s birthday cake

see the bronze age barrow boy
sleeping like the cloisters

weirdo

weirdo ( odriew )

…

w e, the i in team

   wobble in dyspraxic shoes

   wind the cocks backwards

e at the ends ‘n’ crusts

   edge the normal’zzz borderlands

   egging n.p.c’s

i nk a kitchen’s sink

   irk the latest necro-cult

   in the brainstream snooze

r ow a floating boat

   riddle in the mist of gist

   rubber chicken shit

d uck the songs of swans

   dance beneath a mutant moon

   drink the dawning’s dews

o nce the daze is dung

   odysseys in anoraks

   odd socks as standard

things i’ll never do

~

things i’ll never do ( od reven ll’i sgniht )

…

go potholing

write a modern sonnet

swim in raw sewage

especially front crawl

talk to a ginger

eat my own toes

grow a second nose

on my left elbow

see a poltergeist

catch a meteor

like baby sweetcorn

even in a stir fry

call the cops & grass

dance on shattered glass

get the daemon pricks

or the booster shit

sky dive from a plane

with a beach umbrella

in lieu of parachute

shoot an albatross

or a unicorn

picnic in the rain

vote in an election

or your mother – again

…

a doppelgänger calls

~

a doppelgänger calls ( sllac regnägleppod a )

…

i am not a ghost
or a black-eyed courier
knocking on the door

nor a passing parp
from the hoop of autumn’s arse
hark, the even’s roar

dancing branches snap
nightingales in rising gales
sing of sinking sand

i’m a secret twin
majik shadow’s otherling
from a mirror land

in the dimming’s bowels
as the kitchen kettle howls
as the spanners fly

wanderers return
everyone’s a gemini
catch my eye & die
