regeneration song

~

regeneration song ( gnos noitareneger )

catching the drift
of a wood on the water

scratching a nap
with a pen & a pad

hatching a plan
like a flan for all seasons

jangles of quiche
in liue of a key

kettle in tune
with the fork on the road

lifting the cee
off the ode in the code

gathering shoots
in the bucket of fuck-it

wandering on
with the song from beyond

barking the bright
in a lily white nightie

blooming a soon
’til the gnomes come home

under the moon
in the kingdom of badgers

wiping my arse
with those poems of yours

rhyming the wave

~

rhyming the wave ( evaw eht gnimyhr )

positron a paradox
post another pillarbox
sailing on a dawning sea
up before the nobs ‘n’ cocks

roaming in the fields of gist
knickers in the river twist
guess the rest ‘n’ yonder’s he
– pan’s the antlers in the mist

as the stream of brainless glooms
spinning tails in sitting rooms
prosody’s an odyssey
tallis lives & music blooms

tosser television blurbs
blossom noons the vernal verbs
birds in baths ‘n’ bubble tea
while a wilder garlic herbs

dashing dots, the whats ‘n’ whys
watching as a hoglet flies
from a hedge for watching we
squawking under pickled skies

’til the moon is mooning cheeks
marbleous, the martian peaks
when the lark is larking be
in the garden, fixing leeks

( author nodes )

shadow-banned by wrong’uns

with shite on their tongue

& nought but darkness

where their heart should be

while worse things happen at sea

( or more precisely )

~

( or more precisely ) ( ylesicerp erom ro )

after the cows
come down from the clouds

hanging heady heads
& gurning like a gibbon

chewing on a wasp
– when gingerbread men

outwit foxes
as neil ferguson

wins the euro millions
with the numbers he predicted

so before midday
on the forty fourth of august

or a wonky evening
come the sixty ninth of june

with a meal for two
from a pea & a rice grain

under purple suns
on a nun’s front garden

until narnia
invades ruritania
