the ink within ( nihtiw kni eht )
…
the ink within a swimming head
a pencil case, a lick of lead
the spy of i as spiders spin
a web within a potting shed
a pinching punch, a scrunch of scrap
a burst of birds , a flock of flap
the spots 'n' dots of let's begin
a basin brain, a dancing tap
a spoke ode, a bumblebee
the lottery of prosody
a broken strophe, a stroke of chin
a storm within a cup of tea
the mumbles of a riddle's rhyme
a knelling bell, a distant chime
a phantom scrawl, a drawing pin
a trail of snail - the stuff of slime
a sort of door, a river too
a gleaming stream, a whiff of glue
a smorgasbord, a dorsal fin
a burning bush, a turning shrew
the chattering of hinterlands
a song upon the sinking sands
the spouting out of inner-spin
the parps & larks of marching bands
the daze of rain, a paper plane
the once upon of swans again
a squirm of worms within a tin
the hazy daze of gravy train
the ink within a swimming head
a pencil case, a lick of lead
the spy of i as spiders spin
but that'll do - & back to bed
