Senyru Grapevines - Parts 37 to 46
Red
Colour of my voice
Last breaths of those sons of soil,
Complete life’s vapours.
Wrathed Grapes
Old animal now
No more runt of the litter;
Wolf in word clothing.
That Was, Because Of Then
Sea ships stones shells swept
Sweeping sandy bays, oyster
Pearls, vodka clamped, drown.
The River Runs Clean
Silent cold of March
Dredged Hell’s ditches, tongue tied tight
Filled mouth with forget.
The Haunted Birdcage
Haunted lake, birdsong,
What did you do last summer?
In opera black.
Rain Falls Like Jesus Tears
God turned wine to water
Cut head off snake, ‘sooner love
Than be judged.’ He cried.
In The Hour Of Mead
Honey hooks grip vine
Confluence of ancient throats
Choke in spice rivers.
Sommelier Surrenders
Bacchus pissed in Rome,
Nightclub pest, dream carnage list.
Wake dull brain and think.
Lost In Cabarnet Sauvignon Cabinets
Dribbling red wine wounds
Pack case with sleeping bottles?
Head on every bar.
* Verse in pic c/o T S Eliot
