Place picture points
Join jazzy joints
Lift lavish louvres
Glimpse glaring grooves
Craft collage cheer
Niche nimble near
Face feisty form
Nurture nice norms
Ink image ire
Feel frozen fire
Love lingers long
Sweet sensuous strong
Collage cheer crafts
Dance dreamy draft
Mind mingles meek
Succinct sense speaks
Tweak timely tell
Seek spacious sell
Clear colours cream
Taste touching theme
Wise wealthy whole
Sweet story soul
Apt ample ask
Treat tasty task
Be beyond blind
Seek sacred signs

I watched as they flew home this night
Impoverished as the ground below them
Like an armada dark-sailed, secret,
mysterious, focused and grim
Full stops on the landscape outside
Dark, as if comma'd winged exclamation,
Ripping skies like black crepe paper
Opportunists painted in grey concentration.
taunting the sky with raggedy fingers
Crows draw heavy their charcoal line,
then a moment stop still, to swoop
Never resting before its wail and cry,
Hundred louvres to measure out time
Like doors on their back galling
Glimpses that revealed nothing
Dark demons soar high, then falling
