Poem of Hedge Mutterer

              Thistle world
              Dark 'Brothels'
              bereft of sublimbo
              Cantankerers
              Shriek    Winter    Throstle
              Rumination      Gas
                Storms
              Abuse Stains
              loose teeth
              Beak survey
              Lanes of night
              Drift
              Fly....alter
              Philosophic glows
              Phosphatic lows
              Slaves counted
              arranged  :
              hot fingered alignment
              princesses
              iron               shirt     deter
              last packets
              freeze    emit    citric
              dusts
              gemlight
              divert forensics
              (Bikini on a stick)
              Neolithic?   Whip station
              Ochrous   grandiose
              pump system pre-empt
                   INVASION  :  microfungal
              rain
              Gethsemane  dusk  Lava World
Fossil thought & Emotion rise in lifeless
                                            Authority

 

Hedge Mutterer Chant

Counter Crankle
Verdic bonus blang
Cantumple
Honig gluhwein
Status unknown.

Kerdle tharp
soon scatter nest
Alight. Pike meetings
none so bleak as
a martyr.

Furtive goon gone
to worm.
Meltwaters Vache-bed
pianolia yurt
    jester
pre-empt downfall of
    polyester.

Thap  Thap  Thap
    goes the insolent
         Unicorn
Stir the Whirlpool
    verdure
Stick lash
feel no thigh.

Thorough  fare
    sudden mammal
tree  shake  all
  rain  down.
Hurtle your crud
  vest.
Simple inching
  wheels on time
ice bellows






  Cringe
  myrtle,    vaccinium
moorland  prehistory
witness to angelic
beasts
open beaks

Hook
Maze
Rock
and star

slir whirlpool
     diffractures
Iron chewing bacteria
Frontal lobe iodine
    deposits
sabre-tooth    status quo
infusers of trace element

   simper
   prod
   world
   pond and fire

give back the emptiness
of slash and burn
Alienation Silhouette
stoop wail thrash
out in the growth
Battle for some place
in someone's history
