spin between ( neewteb nips )

…

the deed is dung

underneath an oak tree

      see the hanging man

      as a greenfinch sang

so, sweet chestnuts

sucked within the drawing room

      scribble with a grin

      churning like a milky key

sugar is energy

elemental penfriends

      ink a spirit tongue

      like a speaking sprite

while away from here

peer beyond the duck pond

      idle like the bones

      of a snoring brontosaurus

blowing with the wind

from a parsnip farmer’s arse

      gleaming in the stream

      seeking seas of bream

i had a magic dream

& in my dream i saw you

      happy on the moon

      dancing with baboons

# cheese & pickles

# the clifton suspension bridge

# bring back echoes

# save the tiger bread

# i love what they’ve done with your earlobes

# it’s raining frogs again here

# why are all scarecrows men?

# politics – blah, baa, blah

# beans on toast

# barnard’s star

# the m42

# turnip lives matter

# easter on ekofisk

# i think i’ve just seen a goblin

# christmas is cancelled

# cockerels can lay eggs too

# pebbles in espadrille shoes

# selfies, selfies, selfies

# yes, there’s a chill in the air

# is anyone there… ?

dwelling not in shell

see the hobo’s sticky trail

– it’s a homeless snail
