boil him into soup and broth

concert piece for Peer Gynt in Grieg’s Hall of the Mountain King

 

‘to thyself be enough’, says the Great Troll

 

                    

here they come

earthquake boarding school rumble

bad teeth goblins, trolls and gnomes

 

and the king has a daughter

 

at temperature where no one would wash

it’s a kind of creeping up after

heavy on the hoof

 

what they gain in volume they lack in manners

 

if they’re not your children, then whose?

they’ve got rhythm, they’re unstoppable

 

they’re tearing through a mountain in Norway

bright fairylights in the middle

to keep you awake

 

it won’t work

 

they whistle this tune when it’s murder

Inspector Gadget, Sonic the Hedgehog

the Union sneaks up on Atlanta

 

go round

and sinless so

come to a twitchy tumult

 

great cymbal slash at the end of time

of course it was a dream
