THE TIGHT EYES

December 28, 2010

the tight eyes of the braided rope

haunt –

the spiral cord, engorged, continues to dine,

methodically chomping –

the pain of spillage is bloody

but neatly defined –

i remember the tractor fondly

when

i tap my sleeping foot against the gleaming radiator –

monstrous my owl –

harpsichord lost

in the dunes

FALL FALLEN

December 27, 2010

Although the loon at present is experiencing snowy winter, last week when he visited the loon princeling, he saw fall fallen after a blustery rainstorm.

THE TAME GIRAFFE

December 26, 2010

It had been a busy holiday, exhausting really, but nevertheless, the tame giraffe polished with vigor while humming a tune his chloroform kit. Oh, hadn’t it made for a most splendidly marvelous day. What a pleasure it had been for the tame giraffe to make use of his taxidermy skills on such a number and variety of carolers. There was no denying it. The tame giraffe radiated a giddy joy.

“And now,” he sang, “I’m going to get blind drunk. I deserve it, tra la la.”

And he did get blind drunk, and I suppose he deserved it after some twenty hours of non-stop taxidermy.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.

HAUNTED GLADE

December 22, 2010

The loon has to pass through this haunted glade whenever he visits the loon princeling. In the past he has been obliged to fight off wolfmen, wolfwomen, assorted witches, a variety of hellhounds, an angry sasquatch, a shapeless hulk with very bad breath, an invisible laugher, some door-to-door salesmen ghosts, and, scariest of all, a host of knife-wielding shrieking wild-eyed matrons.
