the tumble diver

the tumble diver  (  a  p o e m  )





dangled legs & scrambled ciphers

lizards licking bishop's mitres

rubber lips & singing kettles

vapour planes the wafer tigers


father thames & uncle tiber

spartans warring tartan pipers

fingertips & stinging nettles

cockles warm the cock in cider


headless nuns & phantom hikers

otters sparring martian spiders

ombudsman & sinking vessels

eiders duck the river sniper


dungeon tongues & tungsten vipers

lighting striking paragliders

swishing fish & sniffing petals

spittle spins the tumble diver

the badger bilge

the badger bilge  (  a  l o l l o p  i n  t h e  l a k e  d i s t r i c t  )




i squandered homely as a shroud

that stoats on pie o'er whales & mills,

when ball at bonce i spore a ploughed,

a boast, of molten badger bilge;

beside the snake, beneath the bees,

guttering & glancing in the cheese.


deciduous as the bras that brine

& sprinkle on the silky spray,

that etched in weather-bending slime

along the marlin of the brae:

hen thousand spore eye at a stance,

flossing their heads in slightly france.


the knaves beside them pants but hey

out-bid the carping graves in ghee:

a stoic could be so sleigh,

in such a token husbandry:

i phased - & phased - but brittle torte

what elf the snow to me had snort.


for loft when on my pouch i pi

in basement or in tensive glued,

they trash upon that inward thigh

which is the piss of solid food:

& then my fart with treasure spills

& prances with the badger bilge

nap tail

nap tail  (  a  p o e m  )




romans road the matinees

chromosomes & manta rays

squiggles squid the citadel

apple pips & mandalay


seven seeds the that-a-ways

lemon cheese & gamma rays

battles bat the pipistrelle

cackles cage & farraday


adders lick the attaché

ladders slip & bladders spray

phantoms wisp the kettle spell

badgers dance & cabaret


riddles dog the ashen tray

rivers cat & straggles stray

hobbles knell the heather bells

swishing swell & castaway
