All Poems Flashcards
Originally (8)
Fell through the feild
Bawling
Eyes of a blind toy, holding its paw
Your accent wrong
My parents anxiety stirred like a loose tooth
Skelf of shame
Shedding its skin like a snake
The way my mother speaks (8)
Under the shallows of my breath
Restful shapes moving
Browsing for the right sky
Nothing is not silent
Happy and sad
Dipped a net in a green erotic pond
Homesick free in love
Too blue swapped for a cool grey
In mrs TiIschers class
Skittle of milk
Tana. Ethiopia
Chalking pyramids rubbed to dust
Glowed like a sweet shop
Faint uneasy smudge of a mistake
Inky tadpoles changed
Jumping and croaking
You kicked him
Then tuned away
Sky split open into a thunderstorm
War photographer
Finally alone
Ordered rows
Preparing to intone Mass
All flesh is grass
He has a job to do
Faintly start to twist
Half formed ghost
Sundays supplement
They do not care.
Valentine
Possessive and faithful
Wobbling photos of grief
Loops shrink
Lethal
Cling
Your knife
Mrs Midas
I made him sit on the other side of the room
Burnished throne
I put a chair against my door
Spitting out teeth of the rich
Strange, wild, vain
Woman who married the fool
Shaking hand
I gazed. Entranced
