Mary Through the Looking Glass


Mmms-wrens sin sweetie.
Bugaboo my lugs hear it.
Map my eyes in you.
Arrest.
Toe-holds. Carpe diem.
Grrr-masques.
The long-n the short-n the tall.
Bless
O
Bess
ma curfew out this mirror flew through.


Mary Through the Looking Glass

Wiregrass cuts a barb
Greeters far—I mean nooky-aye
it's a tear before bed every neet
terse up-river through yr
veer o soot-sheen
gat a cool clear.

Mary Through the Looking Glass

Inched near larking norm.
Ma breath almost barred ma
entry.
Couldn't kill a fish the gasping
mouth of mirror is endless
gawp of sprat.

Mary Through the Looking Glass

Bed heirs ya sad fries of carnal feast
ya looms of misery to un-wombed
posterity.
Do we not lobotomise worrisome fruit?
Destination dressed with
nat'l plosions.
Where be the belly-button to press me out.

 

Mary Through the Looking Glass

Ferryman ya nabob let me snorer till noon
a-sleep out ma alien share of time weft.
Beware le wrung hands
clasped
with glory ahh ayemen.


Mary Through the Looking Glass


Ma I I enter you fringe-dressed.
Oui! How they worry back home.
Furore biddy nannykins
in omnefarious 'larmings:
if you call that a-dressing
mi missus I'll ouster
thee now.
Meniscus amours
somnolent.

Mary Through the Looking Glass

Bibliomancer learns undoer news.
Beware m-e-mirror look out.
Minnow quicksilver down the
poisonous poisson
with two faces they blame on
women's wee
what's new pussy cat
whoooooa whooooaaa.


Mary Through the Looking Glass

Nil-be-mouth-breath.
Am almost bald as a billiard
so le swim'll win well in a Buxton
orgasmic spas me hopes.
Ah mariner of mi mirror it's
as much as water can do
creaseless as hot tea
me could murder
alopecia.


Mary Through the Looking Glass

Werms fer b-lunches.
What am I talking?
Shouldn't have run him through
with my looking horn so her
that must be obeyed follows
me here in her hopalong
queeny ways
clop clip-perty clip-perty .


Mary Through the Looking Glass

Bah spoof!
Magnum of champers none.
Which witch dreamt it?
Fabulous monsters ma bottom
a-feely
my eye runs red and linear.
I crave a rigadoon.

Mary Through the Looking Glass

G-frosh-n-ice.
Umm not much hot meatier than
I can tell but modesty and metal
slip out of hand.
Shy or sly may steal a remorse
that uppers
rampant.

Mary Through the Looking Glass

Goosier ma steps through
looking you. The queen of plum cakes
ruckles my corsets
a weaponry beyond exocets
scoring time fleshed territory.
Misericord men nibble mean
leaves
the craziest paved path
engraved in grey matter.

Mary Through the Looking Glass

Diversions of exorbitant unicorns.
Hoofing hung of chessmen.
Fleur de lis and fauna fabula.
Woos and ogles.
Go earth just so—aaw
here comes gruel to snap me out.

Mary Through the Looking Glass

Delicacies girdle faux pas.
Ginger queen of subtraction
take loaf by knife—
a distemper lobed sadder
than sooner.
Escape is fraught.
Appearances bleed to edginess.
I will not a tuckle look
even through the glass.
