My sleeping children are still flying dreams
in their goose-down heads.
The lush of the river singing morning songs
Fish watch their ceilings turn sun-white.
The grey-green pike lances upstream
Kale, like mermaid's hair
points the water's drift.
All is morning hush
and bird beautiful.
If only,
I didn't have flu.

Lovely
Spike gave his
children a
magical
childhood -
Priceless!
I've never read this until today. I love it, so typical of Spike's humour.
The reader is lulled into this beautiful scene, serene and peaceful and then..... one gets a vision of a heap of used tissues and a runny nose. Priceless! -
This is typical of a Milligan conversation. Some beautiful thoughts and images and then a really "off the wall" ending.

i love the part where it says 'fish watch their ceilings turn sun white.' i love it because it means the waters surface when it says the ceiling!mm ba ba ba ba!im lovin it! -
If I could applaud this, I would. It is so beautiful. The last two lines almost make sense 'I only,' needs something on the end. I love the description though.

I like the abstraction in this piece but only by vernacular. I haven't really read this 'type' in his other pieces, but, I do like the tone of it.
