I swallow, nothing’s

left of my pride –

the prison doctor stitched

my cut wrists

without anaesthetic,

his idea of punishment.

Laying with a blanket

on the bed-board,

I think of poppy fields

in the high country of Tasmania,

sun-splotched red blooms

loaded with seed,

their hairy stalks raked

by a wind from Antarctica;

here in my black slot,

an imaginary whiff

of opium mingles with

the bitter aftertaste of iodine.

PART THREE

Internal Weather, for Randolph Stow

I dwell in this bone-cave rocking cup of skull

histories constantly re-writing themselves weave
