I had to see a hole
In my mothers head
And no, she wasn’t sat comfortable in bed

Where she would think about doing... [read more] |

the homely duckling drifts,
its feathers mottled, its cry unremarkable,
yet the water receives it as though it were a crown.
No whiteness gleams, no purity shines, ... [read more] |

see the sky displayed in constellation
