Seem An I
Bedraggled angels blethered
Across Eleven Acres
As belling from the bwoneyard
Rangled round the archet
Her fingernails a-ripped
From hauling clay-filled fists
Out of the river's edges
For pots with happy voices
Conzum-ed with twanketen
Only eased by scratching
Whisp-words slim as thistles
Or sickly chicken whistles
Seem an I a childhood
Of quartere'il and wormwood
Of not-friends running nowhere
Of vog a-veiling elsewhere
Till in the vaulted barn
Queer-lit by dummet zun
She knew herself a vessel
Fit for a different wordle
Where footsteps must be lwone
And barefoot upon stones
The northwind's ever-host
Giving edges to the ghosts
Seem an I a childhood
Of quartere'il and wormwood
Of not-friends running nowhere
Of vog a-veiling elsewhere
Of mother's voice not-calling
Corrugated iron
Of devil's birds and whiskey
Of chilver hogs and fleecy
Nuts I could not reapy
And nuts I could not reapy
