panic in the tea break (  a  p o e m  f o r  m o n d a z e  )

…

flapping thumbs & drum breaks

rumbles in the sponge cake

battles in the apples

cackles in the mirth-quake


bramble bursts & mandrake

tremors in the handshakes

feathers in the heavens

redden in the tax breaks


cloudy cows & milkshakes

outage in the intake

thicket in the bracken

blackens in the daybreak


fading ink & hotcakes

nobody's in namesakes

patter in the shatter

patterns in the snowflakes


sticky bricks & muckrakes

dithers in the disc brakes

quivers in the scissors

rivers in the fishcakes


rising tides & sea snakes

wishes in the keepsakes

whittles in the antics

panic in the tea break
