Asylum: Improvisations on John Clare: Poems - Paperback

by Lola Haskins (Author)

Constellated

When the atoms in my body

return to stars

They will not remember

this five am

out my window,

neither the moor

asleep on the horizon,

nor, across her darkened hips,

the scatters

of bright yellow gorse.
