Elysian Folds
‘Do-dah-do-dah-dada-dray:
Roll up, roll up!’
Lamp blacked,
eyeless equine figurine
On top of
odd Algarve shell cluster,
Rococo Chanel
Majolica,
Mickey Finns
Depictions:
…puce nouveau water, juice of absinthe,
oil slick oil, ugly carved frame, smoothly rugged
turned, crude carved canopy, gold leaf burnished,
house well-furnished, arsenic green crafted…
We
cut it up for toothpicks
and firewood.
Sent it up in smoke.
From the diaspora fug something comes.
A startled hobby horse made of old, iron bikes
painted frilly and
Twinkling
