Squirrel Boy, You Are My Toy
by Kirsty Logan
you're tight, but
there are lines between a schoolboy
and listening. it's not
winter, so unbury yourself
from the silt and give me some seal love.
listen, squirrel boy,
I've got a man
like fondue, a man in black shoes. I don't want
to know about
your deepest darkest.
you wrecked someone else's garden to bring me flowers
but you still
make me melt
from the knees
kiss-high.

So many surprising lines here: there are lines between a schoolboy
and listening. it's not
winter, so unbury yourself
from the silt and give me some seal love.
I really sound in phrasings throughout the piece, Kirsty. A very internalized landscape. Good writing.
"you wrecked someone elses garden to bring me flowers" these words are the stuff of greatness! Kirsty your poetry moves me.
I really like the voice here. It's fearless and playful and interesting:you wrecked someone else's garden to bring me flowers.Good stuff. More.
