on the way to the
doctor’s
the faun was a study
in gamboge
a feathered entrance
to the cave in Hooker’s green
thim bentrif every
day
snow speaks, and so
does sand
history of blood on
Sydney beaches … part one, the Wanda Beach murders
corned beach
sandwiches
fifty shades of ghee
and time travel
odder than an udder to an adder
coiled smoke of
citronella
nameless chemtrails
plot my downfall
an endless week of crime mysteries and cooking shows
was followed by real
news of world war three
unprepared, the
announcer tried to joke
the midge pie was
not successful
the queen was a
fascinating centipede
scented crayons and
chalk in a big striped plastic bag
acne loomed like
Melbourne on the horizon
I imagine that
coloured pencils are made from ochre
well schnirb of
coggle
Hillary and Trumpery
marine grease for
your bicycle
candied years and
manta rays paraded for our delectation
I like inventories
and other lists
codicils to melted
history
she loves cod-poetry
and matrices
hey, tosser
I got a gal in
Kalamazoo
gesso and barbola
work
feeding a horse in
Beecroft while others went to softball practice
Angela passed her
trivium
and the devil appeared
Dorothy L. Sayers
early birds chirp in
the cold distance and a wild cat
he used to steal
from his mother’s purse
the limpid cockroach
Italian wine and
Limp Bizkit
high-pitched …
from the brakes I guess
Letters and
Numbers
dog
days dog tired
nothing
must ever pop up in my face again
astro beam
working
yobba rays on
he
used to dress up in his mother’s clothes
the
upside-down river
seaweed is the
vegetarian’s fish
acres of it, The
Sand Reckoner
fire drills and
pumps clattered to the deck
rope layers rose in
the Captain’s dream
Lucy was appealing
in a lime taffeta mini
rhubarb rhubarb
rhubarb
Dear Robbie,
ReplyDelete4am, Shanghai,
listening to Pat Metheny's
Selected Recordings,
I am cast adrift again.
Words and music.
The tide takes me.
On a tram, a bus,
on a submarine,
the sum of words.
Thank you.
Thanks, Rob, glad it works! :)
ReplyDeleteDeliciously dense and textured. Love the leaps and bounds. Magic.
