Nightshade glade blue-green
grey tourquoise skies
low fast smoke cloud wafts
a mango rim october dawn
sly yellows exposed.
Thursday.
The weekend looks quiet,
walk the dog,
eat the fridge,
frugal rations,
no rugby.
A turning point in the year.
Vibrant dawn dazzles
Pitch bone slate lamp nightdreamers
Eyeblink shadows flit
Earlybirds dart brisk alert
Incanted day arrives
Perfect golden light
Rakes tree leaf and bark
Hope springs all prisoners
a face full of kites & whites
all plot lost to angst
Sorted out my window sill
Nothings mission crept
anguish swept away substance
stupid hat cant rant
House of Teeth beneath
The North face of The Ogre!
Daily melanoma gobshites
West of Eden seething:
bleeding all the way to the tankā¦
*
day dawns grey pink crazy haze
dream genie quits bird for bottle
torpid rush hour to Squit City.
slow sleepy jet trails backward.
Solitary blackbird yawns
when you have read this
check top of head for gaps
Yes?
You just did a pome
No?
Better luck next time
Snake hose primrose yellow runs meanderless
through thick savannah and potato patch
prairie beside grike-weeded barren footpath.
To the east of the picket line, fowl prowl,
looking out for grain and grub beneath a bathroom sky.
Last night, in the wee small hours, Paws visited.
This morning, I return the blessing and shed a lidful.
