Her Daymare
On the far side of the beach: abyss
Sheperds strive to shild their flock from this
black gaping maw, desperation's portal
Zephyrs aching to be mortal
Whilst atop the distant peach-tree
The blue jays chat.
My pockets fill with scat
In the salmon sky birds eye me
Raven's two-stroke fouls the air
Silently chafing hindmost limb
Whilst Crow surveys the ruinous lair
& croaks some loathsome quasi-hymn
Wodwo haunts my dying car
while finial figures corrupt heavenly bodies
And birthday lettuce, in a jar
For fourteen days turned polka dotties
Sawdust in the ghost-machine
Grinding spooks
Wounding kooks,
All their faces turning green
All their faces unseen
Unlike the whizzing of the oaks
And godless hissing of the tokes
The poet jumps in to his death
And tramples on his verse
he shouts the shameless shiboleth
out the window of his hearse
And breathes his final breath
