The gods sent you wrapped in\u00a0
pomegranate leaves
I wrote your location on the back of a breeze
but I lost it
\u00a0
(nothing happens)
\u00a0
in the graves, once sore remnants
hold their breath
it rains, collects on my brow
and floods the vision<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cut this polythene bag in my head
drain the water down the sink hole
frantically sorting waste from recycling
get the house in order before the guests arrive<\/p>\n\n\n\n
every dip into the purple, silk bag
pulls out a thorn<\/p>\n\n\n\n
you\u2019ll remove it if it hasn\u2019t dislodged
a promise written.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
