Comes a stridency
Maple red blue Marigold?
Andy Pandemonium
Cokeface John de Lorean?
Sweet half-shut portal wizards
Punic rubric shapeshifter
Walking on thin lice
~
Shirty as a dirty spaceship
Compromising time
The rights and wrongs door-slam
Undermine indifference
Blue disregarded others snigger
Wait on noonday
Open the wine cap
let it breathe in escape
emancipation
~
I think I am tired I think
hatch doors slam loud shut
Documentary reruns play
haphazardly remembered
& easily forgotten
~
Sporting broken dried out skin
bulbous burning failing eyes
Red wine marinated
Blood stained glassy vacant stare
Sits the sentinel unaware
*
Lily droops waterlogged
forlorn pale exposed dripping
trumpet wilts beyond
immediate salvation
relentless merciless torrents
melt short lived Lily
Mellow yellow peril stalks
desultory morning news.
Mahjong pings pong song sushi
Life waves buoyed by risen seas
Encouraging numbers lately
make me swing again.
All you need is Like.
Push and punch the River Not.
See no day so far
underway.
Meredithian
sonnets pepper mad Edith’s
black gothic bonnets.
Radio switches off itself.
Precocious little sod.
Go show it who’s the boss, Rod.
Long dark evenings
my boiled beetroot pinkens
hair loss in Gaza
