Daisy
daisy fan
fanged daisy
noisy fangled daisy
once I spoke in truism
now the light in me
learns the
daisy pattern
of thee overhead
static fan its corolla
of chipboard-cum-
cherry patina its
gold-bronze
burnished
girders to wit its
sepal & stamen with
its stigma its florid pis
til its socket of
of watt lite
houses the eye
shuttle’s blunt blade
coaxes through this eye
in disuse the floorboard
the daisy smoke
drawn
oiled in
consistent daisy can
cool a dog or a baby cam
the hateful pure daisy on
clotted cream “gives
herself away”
wind in my
mouth I think of
drawing indoors the
effusive screen the very
bad daisy for now
can’t hear me
list its trio of
speeds its one bright
acuity its wind and lum
inance from the ceiling
underlying the doily
that I am therefore
its tiring
