Lanolin folded cream
Rolled ploughed furrowed
Clouded brow field
Sky blue food dye filling,
one indigo dropped in a sea
of sky goes miles
Insuck ouch
It bites that wind
Just looking at it
Seated by a throbbing rad
Savaging a trembling bramble leaf
Petrifying a bare twig
Starching stiff the black tent top
And fruity pastel bin and body bags
The fat drawers and winding sheets
Creaking next door’s line
Jerks temporal physical
ecclesiastical spits
& spats dribs and drabs
scamper like sideways crabs,
those little sand ones,
super-sensitive little critters,
don’t want them in your vestments.
Just thought makes skin creep.
Icky rinse and unction,
gentian blue, geisha socks,
hollyhocks in aspic,
that’s fixed it. spit it out,
like venom or tripe
gloopy pukey cheesy goo:
Yuksville, Ariz.
remember some
name
fell off
dark rock dead surface
third stone from a sun
inconspicuous absence
heart grew heavier,
colder somehow violet
gone but just
forgotten
do not kid yourself
we are disposable stardust
Seven up, up, up
crucial wooden stairs ascent
to Disburthenshire
point six recurring
terminal velocity did
what it said on tin
Sure is
a long way to tip

some
in and out in
the cold
sunny morning
it
is as back
to be to
wooze
my way
Gideon’s
abject budget
to wake
undone
alone,
aware of onewhere
droning phone
Stark naked park oak
Bronze burns amber sundown
White copper glare
Traffic blazes slowmo trail
Sparkler impromptu squiggles
Embossed on slow retina
Fading as the day does too
Vibe changes sundown
Clustered scapples save the day
White wine weds olives
Anglepoised action stations
Awaiting further information
To impart to my reader
Zelda ‘Toots’ Zuchenslooper
A dogged fighter
Carniverous wolverine
Hypercyclically disposed
Tea and oranges
Fluted green fretwork
ominous picturebook snap
asylum records
abandon faith all of you who
enter here without permits
Look! gurgling gargoyles
grotesquely gurning gargling
blistering mouthwash
