We blocked the meadow,
Impetus kept coursing.
A ram-stam epic.
Uproar, pitfalls of vigour.
Fusty distress lingered.

     *

                         meadow
              kept
                   epic
                 pitfalls
                   lingered

     *

Another wasted meadow.
Unfitness kept spoofing.
Ghastly epic.
Pitfalls of haughtiness.
Decline lingered.

I bolted, screaked,
Coursed upland.
Homicidal gamut - twenty feet.
Ducking, zigzagging.
Omens in lights.

Ducking

     *

Rat-ish, they screaked,
Veered upland.
An ill-judged gamut.
Ducking flak,
Waylaid by lights.

Clumsy joy.
Scrutinised myself for gashes.
Deluge plashing at waist.
Vital touchstone lapped.
Runaways heaved on board.

Clumsy

Runaways

     *

Clumsy questing.
Bloodstained gashes.
Deluge - stubborn flashpoints.
Vital ABCs pooh-poohed.
Runaways unsoundable.
