Brick wind says
sleep glitz & kitsch
Rescue
fog stutters
fiery chasms in pinch
Chocolate cartoons
screen of river-horse
bathed in boxes
Machines taunt
Andromeda
twill & snip be ragged edge
Slump raven, overlap
the pink dwarf puma
Heart says
haunt pyres of salt
sneeze through the crab storeroom
fling acrid the sundial over Yangtse
chamber four noses
Soon machines will haunt the night
Soon sweet leaf will flutter blue
Soon lips will escape the
heavens
and light will squall in the cellar
Zip a kiss to rat-faced children
~Patricia Wellingham-Jones
