some recent poems:
“I assumed the fear belonged to the woman in front of me.
It was the sort of fear someone like her might have
”
“if I had a soul and wanted to look for it I wouldn’t look here where it’s light
I’d go into the dark night to find it because
I’ve been dead for days waiting for some connection
”
“For years we thought this kind of thing was imperious and very distant.
Then we found it was contemporary – very much of our time.
”
