Stephen Nelson








For JD

1.

A moustache machine
on the beach
for inchoate chatterboxes,

estimates antiquity,
vanishing between the cliffs,
a chalk dust borealis,

in mega flow till Monday.



2.

Bears fish rivers
without within
the brain of the forestry commision's 

limestone amoeba.
Regurgitate pythons
at egg filled intervals,

dividing our time between eels.
