John W. Sexton (Ireland)

Oh and Oh and Oh
 
that’s Mister Cow Shed
to you … rivets in the tin roof
pick up Vega
 
innocence trumps knowledge
… goldfinches flocked
to the anomalous orb
 
never neither in nor out
of the wardrobe …
the never ending dress
 
this deters vampires?
a pinking shears
to stop the daylight fraying
 
the straw best inserted
through the mind … there’s a knack
to sipping souls
 
a purple stain broached
the exosphere … how regal
we all now shine
 
Come, my lady bugs …
oh and oh and oh,
the queen dressed in aphids!
 
hurt umber …
that rare pigment
from the last human whimper
 
Sir Bland's castle …
windows of grey gelatine
look out on Sorrowdise
