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.
