| ‘In Mortal Repose’ a sculpture by Diana Al-Hadid |
until dinner was served
she said leave
two limbs free
tie up the rest of me
I wanted to make sure
I fed off this need
the breath blood bleeds
is the same gasping for air
and exhale when we regale
such clutching and falling
into what holds us here
parts, parcel and pedestal
the forest and fabric beg us
tear yourselves down to sound
hide the rise of rain outside
there is an old rope
and pulley window
its’ glass rattles
and courses
horses around
our velvets
and ferocities
so very much in play
we break bread here
