& janus yawns ( snway sunaj & )
…
& janus yawns - begin again
with spinning plates & figure eights
a sort of door, a nu-refrain
a blooming moon, a winter rose
a glimmer of a tinsel tree
a morning frost, a cockerel crows
an even morn, the sky is red
a mumbling of tumbleweed
& man aliver - december's dead
a stopping clock, a ticking list
the underlings of over there
the phantom hands of river mist
a sliding scale, a slither's snail
a scatter graph, a swivel chair
a dog in fog, a twisting tale
the ups & downs of roundabouts
a parsnip in a silver birch
& hark, a parp of brussel sprouts
the air is pins, a drop of snow
within the still - a village snores
& there beneath the mistletoe
the brambles scratch, the gloaming dawns
a groan of bones & so we sing
the song of swans - & janus yawns
