Ponder Lost

orange months,

Gone like

quicksilver fish,

Their trails,

now fading,

once were fragrant,

salt

& purple

Beyond…

Heads buried

What’s the time on Dandelion?

Burning, yearning gravy waftings.

Wild Cries of joyful carwashers.

Five dimensioned rosehip cushes.

 

Who painted the lawn day-glow emerald?

A sporran in the night, a ptarmigan at dawn.

A creative with a sloppy bucket.

A mandarin blood orange.

Boiled egg struggles,

succumbs to

wrecking spoon.

Starlings rush

from yolk.

World without bend.

Real good sun out there.

No showers yet: no wind.

Loud Friday school’s out.

Will I? Won’t I

Have a cheroot: think about it.

Yeah, cheroot’s a good idea.

First, get out of this walnut trick.

A hard nut to crack from within

Let alone without.

So, nine to fervour underway

Make a list in mind,

A must not

To do list,

So, no list

Empty list.

Instead,

Go flowing with Brenda,

tickle salmon,

provoke Diogenes

&

smile at Joni Mitchell

floating down moon rivers

on a carousel of time

Sea Gherkin Fugue

…floorsucker  churns, provokes

gaspings and breathings

safe depthiness is spored

making me splutter

like a pudgy, tetchy baby.

 

This grief hugs me hollow.

fig lungs implode:

Lites

Bladderwrack

& oyster beards

strangle raddled eyes

 

Blasted by terror

we stare in mirrors

for escape not reflection.

Look there only when

lamp posts resemble fate.
