Day 28


from the ABC set Lent 2007

Sometimes, I fancy
I feel the metal coil deep in my brain
worm of the cauliflower lobes.
How did so much that isn’t me end up inside me?

Through a keyhole cut tiny
in my groin and threaded
through the motorways of
chunky arteries

and you, on a Saturday morning
the slow rhythmic push
drumming your gene-print
into my flesh.
