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
…

supper’s unready ( ydaernu s’reppus )
…
grow your own toenails
& save
a penny a day
budding
in the darkness
of a sweaty thermal sock
under oxford shoes
or r.h.s approved
plimsolls
wait for six hundred moons
& then feast
upon the harvest

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 ) ( 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
