Bedash

Notes or tones, Daubed across the floor, Across the wall, Gibson greens and Richenbacher reds, Amplified auburns, Streaky, thick, splatters Momentary, Fleeting Yet Everlasting, Unforgettable, Ingrained.

Philately

A lack of charge,

For the consummate collector,

Refined taste and edges,

Golden mementoes,

Of corners gone by,

Across nations,

Counties,

Cities,

Streets,

Friends and family,

A semblance and symbol of distance,

Of immeasurable voids between them,

Collapsed and no longer,

Closed and closer and cosy.

Noetic

It just fell out of his head,

Half formed,

Half baked,

Structured by serpentine means,

Unburdened,

Unleashed,

Bound by barren dreams,

Of minds and matter and what matters most,

Or what comes to mind.

We laughed,

We joked,

We stared and pointed and stared some more,

At the tendrils untwining,

Unwinding from his head,

Unavoidable,

Unassailable,

In the end,

It just fell out of his head.

Susurrant

Hush, Shushed, Silence in the Room, Whisps of, Hints of, Drips of sound, Cascading around, Rumbling through, Tumbling through, Silence in the room. Husks of sonic remnants, Haunt these, Vacant thoughts, Your voice, Your sound, Cascading around.

Contiguous

We border one-another,

Imaginary lines pressed together,

On maps and atlases,

Overhead, top down viewings,

Of us,

Bordering one-another.

Foreign fields of skin,

Green, slurred lines,

Territory lost,

Blurred borders,

Of us,

Brand new states.

Cognizant

We're fully aware of the ongoing situation,

Up to speed,

Up to date,

On the latest trends,

Happenings,

Goings-on,

Over there and around here,

Quite well aware,

Isn't it terrible,

Isn't it inspiring,

Isn't it?

We can see it on the screen.

Cockalorum

Crowing, Towards morning horizons, Full of promise and new astonishment, Hopefully astonishment, Oh savannahs, Reaching, Out towards morning horizons. Self proclaimed epithets, Hot aired phrases, Full of promise and broad Generalisations, No, not generalisations, Spat, Spit, Sputtered refrains, Rewinded, Replayed every new morning horizon.

Wayfarer

Venture forwards, Dears, And darlings, Venture past the Iced over avenues, Past the paths, Lanes, Villages, Outwards into more, Into ways untold, Unrefined, Go forth, For yourself.

Hoodwink

Hop, skip, jump

Over the rooftops,

Under the barriers,

Around the bollards,

An emblem of London,

Bypassed.

Look the other way now,

Old chap,

Top man,

It's cold outside,

Hop, skip, jump,

Bypassed,

Must be off,

Over, under, around,

Top chap.

Caveat

Be aware, Eyes in the back of your head, Monitor, Observe, Be aware of them. Be awake, Eyes open by toothpicks, Stare, Tremble, Be awake for them. Be warned, Lest thee turn back, Warn others too

Aubade

Clank chirp, Rotors wings, Clank chirp, What dawn brings. Take heed, The early call to arms, To legs, Clank chirp. Fluttered eyes, Cautious choruses, Opening the day, Creaky, Clank, Chirp.

Deipnosophist

Wisened Greek philosophy, Behind the mashed potatoes, Wondering or wittering With expostulating hands, Nodded heads, hearty chuckles, Behind the roasted carrots, Green beans, salad. One more Pinot Noir, Off they spark again, I crack, blank, wide eyed, Nod, Take a large spoon of mashed potatoes.

Fusty

Cornered Cowering, Left to rot and mould, Besides antique bits and bobs And other things unsold. Cobwebbed Crawling, Wrapped in silver dust, Amidst murmurs of memories, Silt and soot and rust. Castout Carelessly, Carted off before, Deposited and dumped. No-one visits, anymore.

Sciamachy

Swords at the ready boys, Hands on the hilt, Best foot forward boys, Follow my lead, Ready at my call boys, Willing to strike, Can’t see the villains boys. But trust us they’re there, Just swing where we tell you boys, Slash at the air, We know theres an enemy, Invisible and silent, Swords at their ready, Hands on their hilt, Silent and invisible, Masked in the shade.

Malinger

Cough,

Cough cough,

Leave me out of this,

Leave me be,

Take responsibility away,

From these cold shoulders,

This addled mind,

This feeble, failing, corruptible walking corpse of mine,

Be gone,

Cough cough,

Cough.

Columbine

Fluttering feathered,

Omen of serenity,

Terminology taken by force,

By violence and depravity.

Wings plucked,

Beaks chopped,

Talons tied,

Purity stopped.

Olives and land abound,

Hopefully,

Columbine.

Razz

Contumely comments are often kept back,

But one slips through now and then.

Creeps through the gaps in our crooked British teeth,

Spewing into faces,

Most unexpected,

Cheers,

Apologies,

Farewell.
