how to catch a church mouse

how to catch a church mouse ( ffuts citcadid )
…
as a rubber ball, if falling
on a breeze as colds
sneezing from the tors of moorlands
to the bogs of wolds
in the church's dirt they're lurking
chewing on a pew
running through the organ's organs
as the buggers do
shitting on the vicar's hymn books
pissing in the font
nibbles on communion crackers
in their restaurant
sweetly sleep the congregation
dreams of cakes & doves
sit with nimble, ninja fingers
wear a pair of gloves
as the waxen candles flicker
phantom flaps of flame
grab as fattened cats are napping
play the bloody game

voles in the doldrums ( emyhr fo mrof a si noitaretilla )
…
sunken as sand
spring is an earwig
winter's a mangle
wring in the year
portals & all
dog under blanket
snore as a dormouse
warm in this house
sun on the run
running as honey
leeches & money
fumbles in gloves
cold on the moors
walruses warble
voles in doldrums
dream of a breeze

three speckled treecreepers whisper in a hazel wood underneath a grey sheet in between the breeze four black jackdaws bobbing on the sodden mud down in the brown beside the barn - behind the graveyard five bright unicorns roaring in my hinterland cans of custard - castanets cabbages & cats six fat chaffinches splashing in a bird bath soon it shall be afternoon ( jacket not coat ) ...
