turnaround burns the ground

turnaround the burns the ground ( dnuorg eht snrub dnuoranrut )

…

logs upon the ocean
shits within the night
singing songs of freedom
’til the buggers bite

once a soulful soldier
salted like the earth
now the fallen crawling
in the normalzzz dearth

pounded by the $cience
blinded by the dark
stumbles in the dungeon
lost without a spark

fragment of a former
formless like a ghost
you’re tomorrow’s breakfast
yesterday is toast

so, y’ choose the needle
bending then the knee
people branded cattle
podded like a pea

puppet of the weasels
bots within y’ brain
once a shade of human
never since again

woodland wanderings

sucking on a murray mint

      or a lemon sherbert

      ’til the temptress tingles

two spoons of sugar

in a milky mug of tea

      a whiff of hibiscus

      the brush of a nettle

dustings of doc leaves

& whispering codes

      licking the backs

      of natterjack toads

the crystalline grains

of the seven seas’ salt

      the upturned tip

      of attis’ cap

tipex flashback’s

from the clearasil years’

      swigs from a flagon

      of fizzing ginger beer

little sips of calpol

drips of acid rain

      dancing on the tongue

      as we face the day’s dung

mid-july’s musings ( sgnisum s’yluj-dim )

…

sing within this mirror land’s
inner-state of flux
rivers shrinking like a quack
– not the stuff of ducks

see the normalzzz spawn emerge
spot the tourists lark
where are they in january
when it’s cold & dark?

hiding like a hidden hand
sucking crumbs of bread
then the tossers barbecue
feast upon the dead

when the garden’s eden-esque
& the thicket’s thick
marmalade’s this snaring air
where the wicket’s stick

night is lurking like a nonce
creeping by the daze
but the hawks & raptors soar
catching gamma rays

buddleia’s a flame again
butterflies – a moth
summer weaves, the woodland heaves
’til she buggers off
…
