i have a beast
or it has me
loping lupine
dog of the Lord
it works in the dark blood
with moonless regard
teeth sharp as prayer
it slopes through murk
eyes burning like Christ’s sins
rumours of a kingdom torn apart
razed by wolves

Poetry
These poems are moments pulled from the folds of everyday life, memory, myth and imagination. They are invitations to pause, to notice, and to enter the spaces between words.
One written each day.
Some days are a prick.
Some are a blessing.
Thorn and Benediction.
