Sleepy Whale 339

Unshed tears to cry
Rich silk stockings strafe
Beer burnished carafe
Green silk butterfly
Steel skies Fire Fly
Ghost woman epitaph
Hobbling a paragraph
Faintly urine scented, passerby
Blue dusk twilight
Sabastian’s bark
Dark lady fair man’s, plight
Yellowstone national Park
Mottle affairs moonlight
Old sloppy eyes patriarch
Gloaming grey midnight
Such is life in a spark

Sleepy Whale 340

Woman’s receding hair
Good for nothing me
Ghost woman’s ecstasy
Night after night nightmare
All night playing solitaire
Alabaster silent Poetry
Butt of old Cigar absurdity
Old man’s stare was unfair
Dark lady and fair man’s Street Organ
Steely sea Iron Bay
Snot green, running gorgon
Dark maze betrays
North of Morgan
Sewage breath decay

Sleepy Whale 341

Mottle affairs at work
Sleepy Whale’s ink
Unshed tears eyes pink
Milk oozing Jerk
Rich silk stockings lurk
Sabastian’s rink
Sheeting sea tide Brink
Ghost woman’s quirk
Crying at a yarn
Grave yard dead cheap
Wine dark Red Barn
Lace fringed Bar-keep
Weasel rats, darn
Knock-kneed sheep
