I was promised
yellow custard
given pink blamange.

The wounds inflicted
were vampirish.
Even then she did not
appreciate the

when thwanged
from a homemade

Father
A groin caught between
rotted wooden rungs
proceeded his fear of heights.
I'm told it took at leas

to see the funny side.

A broken mirror
a foot and busy hands
make for a colourful,

Aunty Dorothy was
smiling, secretive
and knowing.
But how can you
feel like a woman
if given, when all
is said and done,
a nappy to wear?

Lover

was made to do it.
It took on such significance
that I wanted to die
doing it.
