From The Energy Of Slaves...

Post by UbiquiDP »

Just been rereading The Energy Of Slaves. Thought I'd post one of my favourite poems from that book up here...hope Len doesn't mind 8)


***

There is no end to my hatred
except in your arms
Strange as it seems
I am the ghost of Joan of Arc
and I am bitter bitter
in the consequence of voices
Hold me tight
or I will have you sweating
where I was
