Wasgij


This was a tease
Retrospect be damned
Down fragrant aisles
Heady velveteen
You drew me on


This thicket cuts
Aha!
Yet no clue
Audience see black
Red
Audience see black


To goad the theme
A little bird tells
Rabbits show disbelief that
Precious
Second
Time lingers


Skull smashed by tyre
Carrion epitaph
Curtain softly falls


Half muffled bells
Awake from syrup
Peter-rabbit dream
Hold six beats


Scratched record
Rolls out dusty blues
Nervous applause


Burn silken
Ember
Drag deep loyal friends
For this is life


Dear God
Fetch me a coffee
