Kit Kelen #628 - right on the nose



628
right on the nose

great forces at work
and up inside
fires of dragon for instance

lungs a long way

one each they are
and missing is horror

at the sides a finger taps knowing
wise nostrum in there

hear swallows behind
a snuffle and blow
bushman's is best

let's not forget nose clothes – the hanky
mainly they are naked though

go to the grindstone and peddle the thing
maybe you'll see sparks

there's a constant hum here
must be bone behind

where the breath begins
ends with a start

it does stop this thing, in the end
wait days and then it's on the nose

isn't this what's in others' affairs?
take the narrow edge, creep along
bring the vessel in

between breaths
mere edifice
and might as well be stone

it was in ancient times
a sphinx and roar

flare nostrils
paw the dust to charge
it gets right up mine

and I've been pollinated too

bring me spray will you
days runny

here's where centre earth journey must commence
I want to see the map

but mainly what's in there's unknown

a bloke named Smokey
might miss septum

it's odious there at times

a finger approaches
and not to point
sometimes up to the elbow in

and why? what is the goal?

say itch but not
it's clarity!
a passage salted
for a conch of sea

pinch another's – pure delight
and playful rub
be Maori
haka!

sneeze
and so you've come a little

with gods it's this way worlds begin

come a long way with this thing
squeeze to make the funny voice

hunchworthy instrument it is
ahead by one and on it too
and past the post
it's this we have followed thus far
