where’s me washboard?

mayesque  (  euqseyam  )

…






flower moon boots

pounding dew's juices


five is alive

maius is a maiden


april's a ghost

glowing in the hedgerows


pan's in the brambles

pissing on a poem


suns blear clear

spearing the sparrow grass


deep green gleams

intermittent river blanks


kestrels swoop

as the bluebells droop


dead ants prance

in morris dancer pants

scrawling sprawls

~

sprawling scrawls ( some 21st century wobble-juice )

…



i'm scrawling sprawls in shit black ink

on helpful hands & exposed skin

i'm dawdles of a doodled ilk

& tattooed scraps of bastard whim


i'm scribbles of a symbol mind

from flapping wings of bastard gist

i'm nudges plus protection too

& makeshift bits of shopping lists


i'm tangents like a spider's web

& pilchard sods of inner-jokes

i'm faithful jots - forget me not

& other looming ghostly notes


i'm floating hopes & pressing too

a wistful wink, a gentle nudge

'fore dark clouds throb - the cloudburst falls

i'm smearing down to

just a smudge
