pirate

 

from gentle mind unpolitic

multiphase that ticks

partial phrase wants

to tell

prophecies i

abominate english

abandon it in venial side streets un

reducoed unhanded in deft disguises

manned to a t gaudy

georgies at a country fair

magnolias roses pansies brigg and break out

scarborough

steps and steps of marble sandstone white cement

let me let you red brigand and pitched pirate haight

into a secret

street light lit branches lemon

seraphic at teatime tree line

sun winked through the elm thresh last

pondered sparrows brown booming dull

drummed up some dreams selected a view

in the night new world told tell tales dressed

in carlight headlight in the rain danced dazzled searchlight

came

on public roads

and didnt dare unsummer me
