Dead glue sniffer

Will your exile end tomorrow 

Will the rain be bluebird happy 

Will the angels wring the harpies 

Out of heaven soot black page 

Man the animals rent a 

Chinese teapot 

Dissolute beds in a dirty depot 

Like a miracle wooly spider 

Like a hospital 

Fluffy with mice 

He is dead now 

Dead glue sniffer 

The mouse 

The cat on television 

This slice of ham which 

‘twas your body 

now my sandwich 

Soft and doughy 

I’ll extort your linseed purple 

Make you winsome 

Liked by slobs 

Do you want some 

Glasgow wisdom

Little robin / fateful snob 

Blackout pitch 

Revert to type 

Steal your words 

Waste your life 

Will your exile end in Flanders 

Or another foreign field 

Will the bluebells wilt like winter 

When the river trickles still

Here I am 

There you go 

Here I am 

Water water 

My kingdom my purpose 

My vision 

My bell 

What is given 

Blue as frost 

All those patterns 

On the window 

Shall be scattered 

Shall be lost.
