Lend ear, Roman
Mental noise gentled
Heavy mantle offlifted
Bleeding earphones leak
Dull sound of dumbed hummingbirds.
Gimme tea no nettles
Shotgun lemniscate
Scattershot breath
Feeling cold metal
Shook like near-done kettle
Making keepsakes of possessions
Possessed by legions of Satan’s Chiefs.
Browning Version
Keats’ passion for Chapman’s Homer
I have a go: his darkening jocks bark-brown
Pants browning as a plucked bindweed lily petal.
Song of Achilles in mad dog’s register
Eerie battle song in steel key
Screaming monks from the gyring Cathedral swear Osiris is Irish.
