Steaming


 By way of contrast and an affirmation of life and a certain vitality this snappy number is offered.  Had one hell of a job tackling a lamb chop last night.

And the dentist today "what larks"!




Rhythmic beating
Through the cutting
Pumping rods
Of oily steel
Slipping sideways
Through the junction
Squealing gently
Wheel by wheel
Slowing softly
On the gradient
Before the yawn
Of tunnelled arch
Scents of loam
And dampness  beckon
In the tingle
Tangled dark
Whoosh.
