Bing for you Buk

strange-old-jobs-12

 

Big black beauty log, kind capsule,

lazy loving lozenge (cut in two),

small brown curly-headed baby,

fallow swallows and amazons.

 

once I found my love in a field of sunflowers.

Truly.

 

Silit Bang,

Easy-Off Bam,

Easy-off bang,

More Bing for you Bukkake.

 

General Flood:

You view sky releases

frog, pike, monkfish.

 

Recorded for Posterity

Short-term memory

surplus to need

 

 

 

The Bagpiper

220px-JackBlinds

 

He piped the music slow, careful.

Buzzing,

buzz, buzz, buzz

 

Not on my nose!

Don’t land…

 

Too late.

 

Freeze, Mr. Piper, or the nose gets it.

 

Sweatbeads: adrenalin: tremble.

 

Try a blow? Little up draught.

Macroscopia.

Make small big.

Blow responsibly.

 

Music is oozing from the nozzle,

mauve music magma.

Blow now!

Blew

 

Sting, recoil,

drop music funnel

notes splatter cake.

Eyes flood

Half blind.

Grab, miss, panic

cake on floor…

 

…nose throbs, cross eyes

purple lump.

 

Buzz gone, job done,

fact of life

 

 

 

 

 

Silence of the Hens

mike

 

Clouds bed

down easy

The chooks

make hush,

 

Throttled,

twoggled:

 

Nessum

Dorma

Chicken

Korma

Giblets at Pyre

 

 

We’ll begin at midnight
When you have time you have liberty

Apollinaire

 

Noon & Nixpence

Meagre sleep

in tranceful, graceles woe,

pursued by evil minded lambs,

surrounded by the hurt and hapless.

 

These things I sink below,

subsumed in dread.

This is the blue blue blues:

heavy fug,

turn world upside down,

shake it down.

 

dandruff and wonga sprinkle

earth skin, cluster and choke.

Bad air day.

Solace: not alone.

United we sit,

divided we lie.

IEmAlh

Clouds sure foreground

Dark and light:

Everchanging

 

Outwith night

Enabled, moonless

Mountebanks

 

Sticklers, wreckers, hoods

Eat bread & drip

Dry

 

 

 

…turn over an old leaf

 

two rooms and garden

A good evening

all in all.

Neither short

nor tall.

Just right.

Like

Spaniel ears

Or

Tapwater

 

 

 

The Beach Boys

Fuzzer

 

Just picture

Over there

 

In that corner

A grand piano

 

Made of Blood

Fresh Olive

 

Slaughtered

Beachboys

Loophole

8okLzOy

Surly, vexed, mumbling, bumbling,

swallowing down bile and spleen

a small bird hops past on the sill!

 

A fair coin tossed.

Whist!

A farced chant, grumbling like an alp.

 

Shannon mare dream

Shrill oboe scream:

Hector! Hold your horses.

 

The kettle’s finished boiling.

The past will someday

be the same again.

Alfresco

neale one

 

Let us

Lay.

Is Samarkand

Pink Samarkand

Under those dishes?

 

There!

I see

golden onion domes,

rippled & various,

Serrate deep blue.

 

Above

Kites float

perusing plump shrew

on perfect thermals,

circling empty biplanes

Nanette

 

portrait of a Sicilian girl

She

Yellow

Cowled,  pock-marked

Pale chuff faced,

Sidles,

Stumbles

Ghostly

Inside Chapel Cell,

Her Holy hidey-hole,

Up the duff,

recently gin & needled

 

She

dropped like a sock,

and in that drop got

relegated,

denigrated,

emasculated from Herstory,

babeless scrawl on nameless wall.

No net

you see:

no more net

Nanette.
