Fall Clocks Back Soon

wheelchair matisses

Moon undercast, sat in dark, underslept,

overdreamt.

Grayson Perry repeats in my ear:

wreath lecture.

 

Upstairs rumbles, floorboards creak:  footfall

human biped

paw patter.

Noises.

 

House to clear, stuff to do.

Shetland occasionally poor.

Colour pitch. Huge challenges. Budget cuts.

Findings concerning.

 

Rain is the number. Heavy brisk bluster.

Gorge custard. Asp tounges in larkspit.

Togas and no gas.

Maria danced for money

 

grander day. Blue mountain megafire. Bedtime for bonkers.

Thuds.

The day begins and ends in night.

Night is morning: Good morning night!

 

Clocks fall back soon.

 

 

Cthulhu

The radiator

is not getting warmer:

needs exorcism

The Rise of Cthulhu

Zen

The snowman is a mellow fellow

and cares not when his legs are yellow

A tory most crass, loud, and pompous

Created a row and a rumpus

After saying  the needy

Were lazy and greedy

They ate him with oodles of humus

Tin

Snow is honest

It does what it

Says on the tin

Winter snow

Bards & Beards

A meticulous poet is Motion

Looked deeply at cheap suntan lotion

He rubbed it all in

O’erlooking his chin

Now shaving is fraught with emotion

Back 1

Memory of joy

 

Forever

 

Is strangely true

 

We squint to see it

 

In the mind’s eye

 

It is there

 

Blurred, muffled,

 

Gore-Tex blue

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gadzooks!

Cataract in Human Eye

Look out!

An ill wind

Coughs: spits out

Lilac phlegm.

Now smell

sweet almond waft

angry onions:

this garden is

full of livid

sad mad

bramble.

Ghoulish dead potato

crazed leek

rise up to

taste

doomed decay

reeking havoc

hear

the cluck as

amok chickens

weep behind trembling

toffee wrappers

See

Behind that mauve shed

a terrible lettuce

is born.

The Rev Nice-Grub paused life struck

 

shopping list of savoury dainties before her

 

incomplete: savoury quails eggs, spiced cheeses…

 

 

 

Holy music meandered ox-bowed

 

midlife muddy water curved solidly,

 

strong, steady laps undercut the bank  

 

vile, grass clod bays and inlets for voles

 

cans and ducks. Captives get marooned

 

on a cut off clump, excised by wake and wind,

 

and wave forlornly: we wave back, hollow eyed.

 

Our off white hull stirs large laps as it hums past,

 

scary aftermath loosens more sods that collapse

 

under the webfoot gait of ducks and swans

 

and wellyboots of anglers and toddlers

 

leaving small gashed inlets for thin quick snakes.

 

 

 

…crudites, nice dips, potato chips, nuts.
