this bus stop smells ( sllems pots sub siht )
…
this bus stop smells
of pickled eggs
& whitsun eves
on ganymede
the morning yawns
of george the fourth
& treacle tarts
with clotted cream
a musty book
a badger bark
the smoking ghost
of joan of arc
plus silver bells
& cockle shells
with hints of piss
this bus stop smells

june is a balloon ( noollab a si enuj )
…
once upon a calendar as the moth of may scarpers on sabbatical larks & fades away annually, a sort of door creaks as finches fledge hymns emerge from bursting beaks singing in the hedge canticles & clattertrap with the woodland elves gnomes are mowing astroturf poems write themselves photographs are tapestries rabbits catch the clap underneath a cloak of oak shepherds wank & nap roses glow beside the lane snakes awake & doze flutterings of butterfly pollen up y' nose gleaming is a silver stream as the rivers run breezes frisk the greening trees underneath the sun allium & lavender blooming like the moon summer is a gravy train june is a balloon roving as a floating ghost in the spindle sky soaring with the twinkle balls up until july ...

this country lane ( enal yrtnuoc siht )
…
quivers in a blue cagoule
hum a hymn & wander on
crows & poems peck the head
squawking with this ball & chain
flutters in the moth of june
puddles pool - a splosh of feet
fingers slip as noses drip
buttercups are on the brain
fields of wheat are shifting seas
waving as the thunder drums
mumbles in a shroud of cloud
jumble down this country lane
til the sun erupts & smiles
glow with ghosts & rove for miles
float if roses war with thorns
bee the breeze & sup the rain
( cheers )
