cloak & stagger ( reggats & kaolc )

…

after afternoon
a candle in a lantern
waxing gibbous moon

puddles on the path
universes bursting like
bubbles in the bath

little drips of dream
gibbon in a cable car
kettles singing steam

i’m a shade of grey
or the morning starling’s light
let the horses neigh

drifting like a plank
rhyming like a dictionary
scribbles in the tank

’til the cockerel crows
floating while the ‘rona drones
highs below the lows

the turd wave

the turd wave ( evaw drut eht )

…

waking as the pastures baa
nature is a morning star

walk before the sun is up
rising like a buttercup

with a camera & a pen
breathe beyond the lies of men

butterflies & bumblebees
blossom petals on the breeze

listen to the bells of blue
knelling not of mutant pooh

hit the hills & dance with ants
as the normalz shat their pants

hare the air & scribble on
plod a song – on airstrip one

wander from this sinking shit
– doris johnson is a tit

old king krypton
from another planet

helium caesar
floats as rome burns

xenon the warrior
prince among lasers

archduke argon
plums in his throat

oganesson the inbred
wedding many cousins

& princess neon too
the lady in the lamplight

long may they radon

frog of a flower

frog of a flower ( rewolf a fo gorf )

…

ponds in the heavens
puddle above us
songs in a cycle
highs of a lotus

mizzle is a twisting
wandering yonder
seeing is breathing
misting the focus

naps of a catkin
rhyming & chiming
iris’s cousins
dog with a bonus

hush in the clatter
catching a feather
here in the blearing
fluttering locus

mapping this magic
pencils & paper
piddle a riddle
hocus the pocus

frog of a flower
raining in colour
down in the dingle
showers of crocus

s pring is in the wings
of a pigeon in a hole
c lutter flies the flag
like a weasel up a pole
a s the normalz dance
with the bollocks on the snooze
t hunder rumbles on
& an otter swims the blues
t ime is tickled green
in the even of the morn
e lephants forget
for the past is yet unborn
r unaway & bee
with the bumbles up the brae
s ing upon a hill
& buzz the scuzz away
