bloody intros … ( another stab at the shit but not a shit-stab )
…
once upon a whirlpool with a flemish welder accordion legend & privy the elder lift that curlew curfew shout it down the cloisters where dusty nuns shuffle & them wrong'uns loiter everything's a jigsaw ballet, bats & ballads watch those statues blink as cannibals eat salads elsewhere pastry's flaking slowly stirs yon field mouse judge's wigs fool no one welcome to my tree house ...

( poem a )
…
quite often i am lost
here within my home village
which i've lived in on & off
yes - for most of my days
the street names don't change but
my mind it has been pillaged
plus the gossips & new builds
only add to this maze
yet well i know the fields
fit for grazing or tillage
old woodland, well-trod footpaths
aye - the lay of this land
so i climb up them hills
that rise above said village
it's puzzles & bullshit
which i'll never understand
( thank fuck )

the golden age ( tale a true )
…
when all was gold in the golden age
existence gleamed through its golden stage
all life it shined, all earth did the same
from pots & hearts
to plates worth their weight
in everything - standards disappeared
too soon back in those bland former-years
our wax was gold - the wax in our ears
our shit was gold
we wept golden tears
