a cuma

What kind of hope can be measured
By my losses (cut) from their stand? I:

Am time. Awake. Waiting. Corpse.

Clutched in hand.

The habit of the apologist.
The habit of the apologist.
The habit of the apologist.

A Cuma

bird watching

Low is the hum of this body to whom I currently reside
as though night still breathes upon her mighty dead

Tell me when you can hear it...

The lead of my lungs trying to rewrite the act
of taking a life without
losing myself, much to the dismay
of the dunnocks

feverfew

Wherefore hast thou taken me…
To dream as clouds doth bloom
matters not my burning desire
be untamed -as far from truth
(sobeit an iris dressed of feverfew)
as much - a perry drunk sylph
doth dance behind mine eyes

Kate Davies is a British poet whose work often meanders between the fragmented, the fluid and well, sometimes it's just a bit weird! She has previously had her work published in Steel Jackdaw, a local British art and literary magazine.
