under pickled onion skies ( seiks noino delkcip rednu )
…
tumbleweed is crack in town
sunken suns - a solar crown
topples swan & skittles flea
red is black as grocers brown
lepers leap a peaking trough
rivers spin the phantom cough
tumours bloom in lieu of see
as the tinkers taper off
tailors chase a fading ghost
piffle snails a pillared post
weasels weave the bastard scree
keeping watch but burning toast
sailors sink & purses pinch
serpents smile & snake an inch
as the piffle quivers thee
but the seasons siskins finch
sing y' bunions lullabies
under pickled onion skies
hesper o'er crows & bee
bumbles spreading butterflies
bear's the air so square the peg
sound around & drown this smeg
hare the land of library
pantomimes on planet egg
