Equine sequins graze
Argideen banks fresh
lush morning meadow.
Vermin in ermine
once plundered this place.
Streamside reveals
Wild green hair
swims strokes stone,
gravel banks bulge,
hopeless infant meanders
know their destiny:
Aggregate.
Poor Quemada
Burning down
Torch Armada
Came to town
Scorch Dearth
After birth
Of a Nation?
Consequential
Conflagration
Up it is:
dithered, dawdled, dallied.
Barnes out: Barnes in.
Door shut and locked.
Took pills,
tectonic shift,
Subterranean Bogseat Blues.
Poohs.
Ah-aarghs.
It’s Alive!
groaning, churning, burning.
Awakenings: pondlife.
Crawling vision.
POV:
Thing gropes
Pathless:
mud, reed, slime, sludge
for warm, dry land.
Slow as a Boa.
Protozoa.
No more routinely ruptured mornings –
Quite a happy prospect!
‘…Nora seemed dead on leaving.’
Meaning Wot?
Everyone is blessed: half-dressed.
Trussed and preyed on that one for another day.
Tricateurs with Secateurs;
Kiss my anus, Janus;
Facebook guttersnipes,
fishwives swimming in shirk infested waters.
We do not do blood.
Rain, sultry rain.
Opaque grapes,
leaden sky fruit,
burst on copious,
oil dark
plush olive,
swooning,
spaded,
luscious leaves.
Three chirrup
kaleidoscope toucans
tenderly engage
a dopey puffin then
hunker down within
the livid dense canopy
to share a light
repast of slender wafers
over a convivial round
of knock out whist.
Tuesdays,
no matter the weather,
is Housey-Housey,
a rainforest favourite
throughout the ages.
Beastlings from yards
Around always
Attend
I
am
Blessed of
A
Multi-
Personality
Disgorger:
What about you?
The caliph & the caliphate
Arranged a secret dinner date
Near Toulon, in the south of France
Called ‘Honi soi qui mal y pense.’
Some things
one finds
are too
personal
to put in to words,
or any other form,
they are
incommunicado
and will remain so
until the cows come home
or hell freezes over
…And,
on the right
The Tarpeian Rock
there,
Romans cast
their
Bankers off
Too sad to write,
wash my quill in saline
then candle quash.
Thrift shines,
lights the copper scuttle carving
a giant shadow
on hearth
matter
