Alchemisland

Save the stars and soldier’s Mars Sky at first was black

Xanthine/xanthous bursts shove the dark back

Wobbling hallucinatory buttercups light up false dawn attack

From gloom emerge doom Send soon to tomb

They got tac tics Moving fast like Tic Tac

UFO what you don’t know could fill a show

Another night attack

Barely repelled, the smoke smell

Chargrill, shit was like hell

Hiss is close, far when it cracks

They trained for it scopes trained on us

Like fast trains gain on us

Choo Choose a track a dip dash and splat

Whistlers to be feared Roger Whittaker mellifluous beard

In the distance a tallow light bold in the ebon

Alight the round of the hills

Back spat, get back flat to the stone fast

An iron rain advance constrains

Dance death dance today

Bullets spray the wall, crash and crack

Alas alac like Kelly’s bushwhacked goons bullets armour smack

Tatatatat, masonry flying that’s 33 grade

Engaged by order retreat forbade

Bidden forward, stand was made

By Battle lines they stayed 

Eyesting ear ring nearing a clearing

Pot shots popping men dropping as flash appearing

Like a peerage we hold title 

Those never idle we disappearing 

Shadows concealing 

Held on by a tack light lacks  

Bamboo shacks light lances the shutter cracks

Plates set out for dinner, bread and snacks

Untouched a Mary Celeste

Steel through vine thwacks, whacks

Spade leaves like plates, feel like wax

Time out of joint, out of whack

Lightning show thunder backs

Frightening man the underpass

Undersun the nothing new aped the old, all it knew

Had gone before, a recorded match with a well known score
