Dear World and Everyone In It: New Poetry in the UK, Ed. Nathan Hamilton
Bloodaxe, 2013 if it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission seek us only as the imperative creates its situation this was set to settle as this task addressed tempted by ideals of motherless memory in the moment of crash, that that is broken bends, apologies blend in at prophecy edge and fulfil the disquiet admission to your singular responsibility is no more mentioned than remembered as granted |
I write to you at a slant
so that
the tilt-touch

be less invasive when our

from our middles
- disconnected we will
be holed but in a
sewable sense and all
drips will drip down
with less spill and
more directing
