Wrestling in Darkness (Week 3)
















Low cloud leaves a trail
Over damp wet mist
Circular in the light

Beaten into silence
Over the top of
A celestial choir

Ripped over the bridge
Catching on the surface
Of creation

Wrestling in darkness
Like Frankenstein’s Monster

Constantly rebuilding itself.

(Week 3 asked for 'You need a full length mirror and a room with a lock. Now – get your kit off. Look at yourself, slowly and solemnly. Don’t just imagine it – do it. Your subject is your own body. If this unsettles you, stick with it. Have a go. This poem looked at it from a slightly different in the sense of constantly rebuilding yourself)
