i)


is my life ridiculous?
(a question we occasionally
ask
ourselves..)
an elf

before sundry giant
defiant
looking up
past unsurmountable

club
ancient alliance-
death and worse..
armed only

with magic wand
to hand
mayhap called
love-

a floppy hat
my heart
5 cats
a rat

a sparrow
the spirit of
the wind
a wild flower

by the window!
o diminutive
shadow
so
mad

looking in..
a naked toe
glad
but not hopeful-

how ´s the weather
up there?!
ridiculous!
and the law
too

turn
and twist
a possible
nightmare
through

the gloom
a paw
offers
assistance
blue

silence..
what are you?
a thousand
a month-
elf..

kind of-
in some respects
priceless
sometimes dull
but always

grateful..
small but
sometimes
equal to

a universe
hardly a mouthful
but
beautiful..
full

yet markedly
a void
ugly
yet elated
happy

yet cursed
sad
curious
and laissez faire..
aware elf

but disinterested..
apathetic
and thick
obtuse
but loose

and charming-
(just eat him!)
sometimes
i hardly recognise

myself,
perhaps a
******-elf-
all is possible
wealth never
enthralled but..

(splat..!)
