September 2013 First Literary Review -East

Read my poem “Effects” in the September 2013 issue of First Literary Review-East.

September 2013.

Effects

 

No, I cannot tell you

what I do with poems

after I have read them

It is less potent than what

they do with me

after they blunt my thorns

You would think it foolish

drinking wine to amass vintage bottles.

Now give me back the corpse

I have found a grave

Strawberry Stains

I am always surprised
that people do not mind me
lying over the ripe strawberries
in the fruit aisles
Then I remind myself
very few visualise imagination.
