swans upon a dream  (  maerd a nopu snaws  )

…

floating over frozen fog

as the babbles blow

life is but a butter bean

grab y' boat & row


like a bot & dot the dots

spot the rubber ball

bite the silver bulletin

nap's a caterwaul


otters of the otherlings

bumbles of a bee

river in this prosody

stumble up a tree


ocean in the ghost above

trains upon the brain

jacobites & ammonites

dancing in the rain


fist the mist of saturday

spin with saturn's rings

sail the seas of mercury

til the onion springs


singing in the feathered head

swans upon a dream

crooning with the blooming sun

gleaming with the stream

...

how to catch a church mouse  (  ffuts citcadid  )

…

as a rubber ball, if falling

on a breeze as colds


sneezing from the tors of moorlands

to the bogs of wolds


in the church's dirt they're lurking

chewing on a pew


running through the organ's organs

as the buggers do


shitting on the vicar's hymn books

pissing in the font


nibbles on communion crackers

in their restaurant


sweetly sleep the congregation

dreams of cakes & doves


sit with nimble, ninja fingers

wear a pair of gloves


as the waxen candles flicker

phantom flaps of flame


grab as fattened cats are napping

play the bloody game
