Long Despatched Poems

"Who Put Luebella down the Wych Elm?"

There are rumours
about me, some 
come seeking me
with their geiger counters
and ouji boards
with their heart 
shaped planchettes

unanswered questions
in the woods, crackling
within the sounds of leaves
invisible dead things speaking 
underfoot...

Terrence the Turkey was feeling quite perky
Passing time in his rafter and doing no harm
No fighting nor squabbling, just gabbling and gobbling
Turkey talking turkey down on the farm.

Whilst having a natter, tame turkey type chatter

Where it might land?  He did not care!
His only intent?  To lighten his quiver,
When he shot his barbed Love dart thither!
So came the time, or so...

"Burning Bushes Treacherous Cargo"

They say hell 
is on fire 

but there in 
The Lawrence Forest 
exist many, 
burning bushes 
waiting on deliverance
delivering messages,
hidden shadow angels
waiting for their
Bardo exodus

they are 
allowed to 
come and go 
but...

And caught a cab home sans her spouse
When Barron asked, "Why?"
She said with a sigh,

Well, Ivanka soon learned the score
And despatched a nurse to the door

There once lived a man, abhorrent and cruel,
With family he resided, high up on the moor. 
He yet drew breath, a misfortune unbeknownst,
To those in his care, their fate soon manifest.

His wife had passed, through...

Words to the "wise" on frittering breath

for know-it-all faces smile certain as death 
  'neath the crush-proof umbrella's dogmatic ascent.

Bevy of swans in a sea-fowl cloud,
starling mumuration,whispering aloud.
Wray of quail,where teal spring,
tiding of magpie,as larks nesting, cling.

Nightingale watch a hover of crows,
herd of wrens,hosting sparrows.
Flight of doves,lapwing deceit,
charm of finches,swallows sweet.

This oath I breathe into the night, 
Where spectral voices wage and fight 
For space to salvage, immunise 
And subjugate before my eyes. 
A song despatched with vocal chords, 
Dipped in sorrow, ill affords

anticipation burns holes, 
cigarette butt pennies, 
edge-flared with embers 
alight and undying; 
and the juice underlying 
the peptic wrack belly 
wells up and explodes, 
almost dismembers.

spider legged brushing,

"The Opponent" 

Something familiar
breezes across
the smile 

you balk 
at the familiarity
for a very short while

second
violation recognised

and blithely 
dismissed as 
ridiculousness

yet like an...
