saturday morning observations

~

saturday morning observations  (  snoitavresbo gninrom yadrutas  )

…



passing cars but nothing parks

eyes are tired but up with larks


floating in a duffel coat

sucking on a menthol sweet


daffodils & spots of frost

mirror men in empty shops


vomit on a cobbled street

broken glass & doner meat


scribbles spit within the bonce

swans upon the river mist


piss'eads sleep in bedfordshire

in an english country coma


hit the fields & breathe the breeze

underneath a silken sun


fuck the queen & hug a tree

birdsong in the bushes

...

 

midwinter song

~

midwinter song  ( gnos retniwdim  )

…



hymn in the morning

choruses calling

hear in the headland

banging a gong


here in the blearing

snowing a trumpet

ringing a springing

ding & a dong


snore a recorder

frost's a conductor

warming y' whistle

whetting the strong


fog on the fiddle

murmurs of drizzle

yodel til clover

bursts in a throng


bare in the woodland

curses & verses

sprinkles of crystal

whiting the wrong


mist on the lyre

wailing & higher

there by the fire's

where we belong


glowing & gliding

scaling & sliding

icicles chiming

midwinter song


bees in the bumbles

strumming a summer

mince as a minstrel

stringing along

...

back in the green

~

back in the green  (  neerg eht ni kcab  )

…



back in the green

jill up a hillock

jack is a pillock

scraps in between


scraps in between

yonder for blossom

winter's a possum

summer's a queen


summer's a queen

blurs in the weather

bird it together

feathers & preen


feathers & preen

sing in the woodland

scheme as a hoodlum

shim in the sheen


shim in the sheen

yawn in the dawning

scrawls in the morning

dip in a dene


dip in a dene

follow the plover

roving for clover

sights to be seen


sights to be seen

lowland to highland

hopping this island

spring is a bean


spring is a bean

burbles & scouting

circles & sprouting

back in the green

...

spring’s seasonal setlist

~

springs seasonal setlist  (  tsiltes lanosaes sgnirps  )

…



birdsong at dawn


bees on a breeze


hocus crocus pocus


croaks in a pond


blowin' on a garden hose


cherry blossom blizzard blues


shrews in me shoes


the foxglove foxtrot


the dance of the daffodils


the lamb baa duh


& greensleeves ( cover )
