809

creatures

here we all are

open to

creeping

cover the allotted

with ceremony

and display

kingly queenly

jungle crowned

so much skin

wave arms about

and still the bastards land

waking where we

lay me down

come in the last shower

we are in the vast

wool over

only just arriving

turns take

fleshed and pumped

best dressed for bliss

quite a climb to be

unnoticed in the upper branches

triumphing

aren't we under all

?

we run the rug

rake rafters

sit up straight

bow heads of prayer

inside out to snooze

and all a body should

wry meeting

with a heigh and ho

so light of limb

and lithe

must mean

we are up to tricks

stroll the rooftops for some height

beckoned, weren't we (?)

to be here

followed, winged along

or it was an old tune drew

some skin to scribble

still in all to do

sprung up

when well watered

coiled spring

two bob watch

you tell me

some roar like traffic

some set light

we only figure speech

from time to time

is how we're here

burden

and we give

we creatures

we are on the way

catch all the light

that falls to us

though mainly must forget

a breeze will bear us all off

we tend where we have touched

much loved

and roll to rub

let weather other-end us

follow a trail

you'll sniff us down

fall off the radar some day

and sometimes off the back of a truck

have to walk from there

it's sobering

every creature is to bliss

as all of elsewhere in us

say!

heir to

vale of slings

and stings

and make a deal

today we're good

carnival creatures tomorrow

by mask met

so you'll never know

but be my pet

this once

o stroke

and come to the cliff

sad after

every animal is

oh well for the fisherman, so on...

then chocolate in the after-Lent

juggle the selves

till creature come home

be blessed

grass grew up through our fingers

gone

here we are

death beckoned

wear specs

for a better look

make mine manna

touch the wind

and we were led

by lightning

that's how struck

the heart
