I’ve never felt like this before.

Have you ever felt like this before?

Fatigue and embarrassment were

all too familiar to her. She stirred the leaves

with the toe of her boot. No, she said

politely. Not exactly like this.

In the Conservatory

Though we spring apart,

my earring, caught in your beard,

winks indiscreetly.

Prey

Outside, in the cherry tree

a wood pigeon is trampolining –

grey wings outspread – trying to catch

the shiny fruit.

On the windowsill the black cat

quivers and bristles. His covetous eye

is green as glass, his teeth ache to crunch

feather and bone.
