When I can talk again
I’ll call for you
When I can see again
I’ll look for you
When I can walk again
I will come for you
And when I’ve had my revenge
the crows can bury you

The Boy In The Electric Car
There was a boy
driving round the park
in a small
electric
car
Round and around
at a speed so slow
he’d never
be able
to escape

The cat
licked the tears
from my eyes
and the blood
from the hole
you left in my heart

There was blood in the garden
thick across the stepping stones
and paving slabs
echoes of a fight here last night
or the aftermath of one elsewhere
between
what?
cats
and foxes
cats
and birds
cats
and cats
or a hedgehog perhaps
dragged out of the dead leaves
beneath the bamboo
carved open
by tooth
and claw
and carried away
from this fenced-in prison
to someone else’s lair

I watched them
sleeping
in their cot
and every time
the sheets stopped moving
between one breath
and the next
I held my own
and hoped
and prayed
that this was not
to be
the last
