scatter’s brain ( niarb s’rettacs )
…
ants above
so below
sunken suns
ascertain
broken toes
crocuses
tractor tracks
aquaplane
simple socks
mist a trick
fog the dog
scratch the train
but the bend
butter beans
blending in
scatter’s brain
spin the head
spindle tree
pitta bread
patter pane
potteries
odysseys
oddities
dancing rain

ghosts, come closer ( resolc emoc ,stsohg )
…
ghosts, come closer
from the yonder in
when’s october
then the veil is thin
in this sister
phantom land of yours
all is autumn
sup the pasture’s spores
space is spinning
like a spider’s trap
death is grinning
spreading like the clap
time is onions
pickled in a jar
pumpkins shining
like the morning star
ghoul moons rising
once the swallows leave
goblins dancing
on this hallow’s eve
ghosts, come closer
from the yonder in
when’s october
then the veil is thin

introducing the bland ( dnalb eht gnicudortni )

blah on guitar
sapless on saxophone
banal on bass
drying paint on foghorn
yawn on organ
vanilla with the vocals
singing dead men’s sonnets
sliced white on bongos
& humdrum
( on drums )

camp fire ( erif pmac )

wafts of smoke floating
watch as supper bubbles so
saucepans of tinned mince

easter egregore ( erogerge retsae )
…
easter egregore
autumn roars & all’s the fall
singing bill is dead
singing bill is dead
death is just another dream
deeper than a ditch
deeper than a ditch
sipping on a witches’ brew
blooming like the moon
blooming like the moon
best before the afternoon
may contain almonds
may contain almonds
thigh of newt & badger nuts
spores from outer-space
spores from outer-space
dancing as the dogwood growls
bolt the cottage door
bolt the cottage door
stay until the days say cheese
easter egregore

food porn ( nrop doof )

prodding the skin
of yesterday’s custard
sucking a fisherman’s friend
stuffing me hole
with hot spotted dick
or cold semolina
or frogspawn
burning the toast – on purpose
then spreading on
nob cheese & toe jam
singing a song
of buns in the oven
muffins & sponges
with sweet soggy bottoms
– phwoar
…
( author notes )
fisherman’s friend is a type of mint
& they taste disgusting

spin between ( neewteb nips )
…
the deed is dung
underneath an oak tree
see the hanging man
as a greenfinch sang
so, sweet chestnuts
sucked within the drawing room
scribble with a grin
churning like a milky key
sugar is energy
elemental penfriends
ink a spirit tongue
like a speaking sprite
while away from here
peer beyond the duck pond
idle like the bones
of a snoring brontosaurus
blowing with the wind
from a parsnip farmer’s arse
gleaming in the stream
seeking seas of bream
i had a magic dream
& in my dream i saw you
happy on the moon
dancing with baboons
