The Brain
...Brain's agile cranium was a difficulty of quixotic immensity,

The mighty, majestic monarch of the day.
Kissing the mouldy mountain rows, he comes
Banishing mist and frost from night’s blotched brow.

Upon his nasal receptacle,

In Widow Calico's prim front yard?
You know there are trees out...

O Hedgehog!
...Hedgehog, O hedgehog
dear spiny, meek and mousy poppet.
In England

The Basement of Delusion
...I had a silly thought.
What if my parents…
Locked me in the basement?

always had a gift for the gab,

Boy and Barn
...Bitty birds scuffle and flounce
under the roofed-in.
Barn dusted, rafters crust and whiffle.
Snuffle go the whiskered,

Seasonal Dance

it has turned the hare into a dervish,
the raccoon to a pantomime villain,
made mice sing in the beaks of owls.
The woods are bare now
trees rattle, grackles cackle,

Existing without death but debt
A poor Atman of the gardeners
Caged in the verdict so depth
Exhausted ...
