Pretty bitty thoughts
Fragments glimpses flicks
Aboriginal origin
Spitting feathers…
Water, water, water sip
Quench drench slake
Insistent chump
slurp cold coffee
milky way paddle
Still life outlined
Rotten russet pippin cox
Storm laden
Cold blowy vestibule
Unclear falling out take
Blue bed and breakfast table
My pomes of desperate mornings
Do nothing, don’t enhance
They are, boy nature in a crippled dance
The circus is no place for fools
Conkers Season!
chestnuts
teeter,
Awaiting
Prep.
Schoolboy chill
Rites:
Vinegar souse,
Slow bake,
Skewer,
Twine
Lynched
Dualists
With crash-hats
begoggled
thin lipped
Engage
In phantasm
Sodium light,
venal
& splenal
grey crows
stooping prowl,
Panther black
foraging
poachers grumble,
sniffing nuts
lamped
in dreek
Soft copse
Galactic dawn,
wet as water:
Ponds ’r’ Us!
Like a mucky duck
the weatherman
walks on warm, thin ice,
looking up anxiously
Sees
serene green scene
creams obscene
at tulips pouting,
kind epileptic fish,
sanguine potholed saucepans
latterday Saturday vertebrae.
Endless list: catalyst.
We swoon,
shrug it off,
embrace
&
turnover leaves
The moon is a rock,
a rock that drives the tide.
The affairs of men
must heed the tide.
An old Moon woman told me that,
I didn’t listen,
talking in runes
I concluded.
But the tide in the affairs
of this man
left me high and dry
waiting for a new moon.
Sat marooned, sat in the offing,
bobbing in the
Sea of Tranquillity.
Another man in the moon.
We are a close knit
community,
keep ourselves to ourselves
as much as we can.
Sometimes when the sun’s
brute sirocco blasts things go haywire,
but you got to take the rough
with the smooth sometimes,
whether you remember
the smooth or not.
