Surprise

 

A gobbet of slime churning in its womb;
a-toying bursts the blue bottle from its clutter-tip.

 

 

Siamese Hubert

 

A blooming rim of the bypass is mine;
Eye-catching my claimed right arm,
Heaving a pulse by the waist.
He gallops in silhouette,
A cut-out quarrelsome percussion.

 

 

Home Made Xmas Email…

 

You fandango in slow-slush y-fronts
By Spain-castling
Summer’s rose coloured sizzle.

 

 

Blurbs

 

The image-maker squeezes his mouse
Crumping truth into a strain
Twin
To someone else’s fiction.

 

 

Bore

 

Darling you’re empty,
Dream of being a manly garbage truck,
Filling your belly with trash
              —even your tool can be replaced by machines.

 

 

December Lovers

 

Rainspots & bucketdrops:
Whiff, peep, shiver.
