"nosering" poems
one
tumbled
out of the womb
convulsing
like a breakdancer
five
posed with
lights & cigarettes,
light
eight
lipstick smeared
giddily on the
backhand
twelve
bought birth control
shared among friends
pills split with a jacknife
sixteen
fascinated by
violet waves
& crystal castles
twenty-one
cancer of the soul
flask in her ribs
she moves
among suitors
like whispers of fame
twenty-two
nosering replaced
polished for the wake
croptop in the casket

Blue dripping from the aerial nosering
Trying to shut out the forest fire
Jewels atomised in the dark air
Blurred in the reflection
In the milky still waters
Mountains haunted by glowworms
In crackling silence
The scene
Demented by the eyes
Overlooking
From the edge of the woods
