On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me…

on the 13th day

  Corrugated horse flesh candy in lime marmalade
  Dolphin heads in aspic with a butter­fly brocade

  Lyre-birds in a stained glass cage, with light­ning rods as plumes
  Double-jointed black men play­ing leap-frog on the moon

  Sea foam in a snow white shroud, red herrings round its teeth
  Puffball spores explod­ing on a bed of burn­ing wreaths

  Venus fly-trap tigers of a tin-foil tapestry
  Timber moles in mustard, warb­ling in a minor key

my true love gave to me
