Kit Kelen #628 - right on the nose

628

right on the nose

great forces at work

and up inside

fires of dragon for instance

lungs a long way

one each they are

and missing is horror

at the sides a finger taps knowing

wise nostrum in there

hear swallows behind

a snuffle and blow

bushman's is best

let's not forget nose clothes – the hanky

mainly they are naked though

go to the grindstone and peddle the thing

maybe you'll see sparks

there's a constant hum here

must be bone behind

where the breath begins

ends with a start

it does stop this thing, in the end

wait days and then it's on the nose

isn't this what's in others' affairs?

take the narrow edge, creep along

bring the vessel in

between breaths

mere edifice

and might as well be stone

it was in ancient times

a sphinx and roar

flare nostrils

paw the dust to charge

it gets right up mine

and I've been pollinated too

bring me spray will you

days runny

here's where centre earth journey must commence

I want to see the map

but mainly what's in there's unknown

a bloke named Smokey

might miss septum

it's odious there at times

a finger approaches

and not to point

sometimes up to the elbow in

and why? what is the goal?

say itch but not

it's clarity!

a passage salted

for a conch of sea

pinch another's – pure delight

and playful rub

be Maori

haka!

sneeze

and so you've come a little

with gods it's this way worlds begin

come a long way with this thing

squeeze to make the funny voice

hunchworthy instrument it is

ahead by one and on it too

and past the post

it's this we have followed thus far
