disfigured mineral on pinch of water ghost exhalations
nearby ***** at least sixty walk back and forth
sky like orange juice puddle on a sapphire carpet
this ice that does not melt but what if I am
your last text a chip of frost almost pricking my heart
truth exposed as if long dormant under gowns of snow
Written: 2018/19. Explanation: A poem that was part of my MFA Creative Writing manuscript, in which I wrote poems about cities that have staged the Eurovision Song Contest, or taken the name of a song and written my own piece inspired by the title. I have received a mark for this body of work now, so am sharing the poems here.
