Word and Image

Paucity

Rabies and wine

Scabies and rice

Songbirds twitter

Serpents slither

Quarry

Plump marshmallows

Sugary treat

Flame to transform

Caramel sweet

Knit

Flares and jam

Bright for sight

Hiss and bite

Marrow

Nectarine, peach and plum.

Skin, flesh, juice and stone.

Tremble, quake, quiver, scream.

Titter, chuckle, laugh, roar.

.

A cloud drifted lazy and grey.

Caught in its shadow a cart ambled through the hills.

Seated on a plank of hard splintery wood,

The driver mumbled a much loved song.

His horse whickered approval.

Above their position blue radiance shone bright.
