14n21 ( 12n41 )

…

once upon a mellotron
twisting winter’s melons

when the penny droplets
turn on a sixth sense

seven heads for hekate
khroncile the khaos

yes, the internet’s a shill
& not your long lost uncle

living in a bolted holt
but otter than that

sing a song of owls abound
& gravy boats in navies

then the west is easternmost
so the south is norther

or a distant parsnip
parping on the wind

while the future’s tuesday
with a wolfish huff

as a goblin howls
in the cavern’s bowels

blow another candle
on your hamster’s birthday cake

see the bronze age barrow boy
sleeping like the cloisters

w e, the i in team

   wobble in dyspraxic shoes

   wind the cocks backwards

e at the ends ‘n’ crusts

   edge the normal’zzz borderlands

   egging n.p.c’s

i nk a kitchen’s sink

   irk the latest necro-cult

   in the brainstream snooze

r ow a floating boat

   riddle in the mist of gist

   rubber chicken shit

d uck the songs of swans

   dance beneath a mutant moon

   drink the dawning’s dews

o nce the daze is dung

   odysseys in anoraks

   odd socks as standard

things i’ll never do

things i’ll never do ( od reven ll’i sgniht )

…

go potholing

write a modern sonnet

swim in raw sewage

especially front crawl

talk to a ginger

eat my own toes

grow a second nose

on my left elbow

see a poltergeist

catch a meteor

like baby sweetcorn

even in a stir fry

call the cops & grass

dance on shattered glass

get the daemon pricks

or the booster shit

sky dive from a plane

with a beach umbrella

in lieu of parachute

shoot an albatross

or a unicorn

picnic in the rain

vote in an election

or your mother – again

a doppelgänger calls

a doppelgänger calls ( sllac regnägleppod a )

…

i am not a ghost
or a black-eyed courier
knocking on the door

nor a passing parp
from the hoop of autumn’s arse
hark, the even’s roar

dancing branches snap
nightingales in rising gales
sing of sinking sand

i’m a secret twin
majik shadow’s otherling
from a mirror land

in the dimming’s bowels
as the kitchen kettle howls
as the spanners fly

wanderers return
everyone’s a gemini
catch my eye & die

instructional ( lanoitcurtsni )

…

buckle down ‘n’ settle up
spread it like a buttercup
bend the ends & then begin
stir a circle, sip a sup

pressing enter – add a four
dance a rustic rumba or
string a caterwaul in e
ring the bell beside the door

find a spot within the clouds
sleep until the thunder shrouds
storming thoughts upon the sea
laughing as the madding crowds

faraway ‘n’ see below
barking as the breezes crow
blow a sugar paper plane
trace the riddled river’s flow

may contain an onion’s tears
thigh of newt or goblin ears
saturdays ‘n’ thatterways
use before it disappears

light the night ‘n’ kiss a flame
screw the phantom formless frame
with a lightning anchor bolt
play the rest & guess the game

bonfire nightmare

~

bonfire nightmare ( eramthgin erifnob )

…

black magic thunder

      shades of the somme

blitz with aplomb

      & the band slayed on

bang, bang, boom

      clangs the clamour & the doom

louder than a thousand

      brian bloody blesseds

sounding it off

      with a million ian paisleys

roman candles pop

      so the crackles snap

jumping jacks reel

      catherine’s in her wheel

sparklers in the garden

      bonfire night

normalzzz umm ‘n’ arrh

      hypnotised by shite

toffee apple twats

      gasp in wanker bobble hats

we’re indoors

      hiding from the wars

shell shocked dog

      cat in a flap

more tea, vicar?

      mister molotov?

penny for the guy?

      here’s a fiver – fuck off
