prophecy broth ( s o m e m y s t i c s m e g )
…
when the greenswards grey
seven elves shall eat late may
as the hoarse stoat neighs
then the nose shall spy
herrings mauve & kipper thighs
as the crowbar flies
yet the dexterous flea
perched within the chestnut tree
sings not of your knees
so the bilge shall bark
as the milkmaids face the lark
& the dark aardvarks

plods in frost ( s i x t e e n l i n e s o f s a l t f o r t h e s e a s o n e d )
…
the cocks are crows - or so folk say & egg's the head as shell's the lay the snorts are mare & noughts are flossed as autumn's chair it rocks in lofts the bells are bats as cats they stray & scrap's the flaps as bailed's the hay the sun is spun & spurts of toss & mint's the crisp as gobs are sloshed the pen is swans & songs of splay & slurred's the earth as curd's the whey the span has ploughed & shroud's the croft & farmed's the palm as hands are swashed the die is iced & slide's the brae & skimmed's the air as winds they flay the squidge is dead - we've lost the squash it's crunch in tread & plods in frost ...
