marriages...of bramble, beetle eggs and tortoise shells
pour clary
tea
into saltpots
esther
I am in sin
all ghosts
lay in my glasses
their library breathes heavy
they refuse
to face the open window
the lie didn't work
it was a poor
and malconceived plan
I had been recognized
within a crowd
in some text
the flavor of a meal
in ways the broads
of a bramble breaks
serve some
skin temperature
drink
in lake water
as rushes divide
dance aside
the cupronickel wire
of my cupped-left eye
blurs the centre
sharpens their easter

Dear N,
I found myself revisiting your lovely poem and working through each stanza’s metaphor and how I made it relate to me. Because I think we can all agree poetry is ALL about me 🙄 not.
“ esther
I am in sin” this phrase especially was a knockout and still leaves me reeling in mind and soul.
In perfect conjunction that photo is incredible. Fantastic write. H🌷
