here’s this one

 

with the swivel ears

and take a coast

internal organs

 

the hamster, the worm

old reprobate

that nose

 

a snowstorm brown

the penny drops

and tuppence too

 

a groat

count the number of toes

the tear ducts

 

here’s insect

and the rude parts

slow twig fall

 

the forest flew

here’s one like a pencil

note this down

 

the beam

and strike through

underline

 

all these books at once

leaf through

there are the words

 

no one can know

jump joy

no colour but reflected

 

all of it godsbeard

for fear

the thunder

 

hidden under

a forest of wishes

for up
