sleep’s feet

sleep’s feet  (  a  s h r e w  t a i l  )




i whipped the lea of bend's the lane

as silver spits the spoon

that bulls the wool & wolves the brain

& spins the inner-loom


i chime the tor of chips of moor

as yonder fox the hare

above the hood of bile's the boar

& straw the squinter air


i snake the veil of quiver mist

as shepherds shake the trees

until the gull- a dove - it shits

& snail the lemon seas


i scrap the scrawl of discant sands

as phantoms light the knight

& swan in song of mirror-lands

as badgers fry the kite


i crow a pear of apple wings

& fluster up to mars

as candles spring of waxen things

as shingle toes the stars


& squall within my hammered head

as puddles sheep the stream

a shuffle in a crackered bed

a cabbage in

a dream

eastern beast  (  c т и х о т в о р е н и е  )


eastern beast

of scarves-a-spin

stalins flap

& borrodin


brezhnev lent

da, laika snows

dolls inside

& lenin nose


squinter's beak

as hinter's back

vodka shots

& pasternak


swan's the pond

as sheet's the sleep

spring's the song

in sputnik feet

& six

& six  (  a  p o e t r y  )



scatters in the cattle tracks

cataracts & ring

axles in the candle wax

badgers flap & sing


rudders in the undergrounds

sputter sound & sense

dragons in the run-agrounds

shudder pound & pence


tenors in the afternoons

marmalade & shred

talons in the pantaloons

parlour maid & bread


manga in the anagrams

rowan trees & rocks

canvas in the caravans

poetry & knocks


merlin in the myrtle wine

stir's the eye & blurred

turnips in the turpentine

bursts of pie & bird


serpents in the spindle trees

shit the beans & bricks

diesel in the middle seas

symphonies & six

spots ‘n’ specks

~

spots ‘n’ specks  (  a n o t h e r  p o e t r y  )



sunken suns & double checks

puddle crumbs of jumble jets

bumblebees & sorrel trees

drunken songs in bottle necks


river mist & weather decks

fingertips of feather flecks

timpanis & spindle trees

seven sees in rubber necks


tapestries & triple sec

tangle knees of bramble steps

pedantry & peasantry

summer spurts in turtle necks


gamma rays & castanets

salad daze of alphabets

symphonies & apple trees

dribble on in spots 'n' specks
