“Forms ; A Sampler” by Chris Allen

Forms; A Sampler

for C.M

What would they have said
had you heard the whisper

slip ravenous up the avenue
on fat and awkward dialect

towards the parlour comfort
of an army of the wizened

faces of their mother, who
settled in her embroideries

internalising the potential
of an inclusive act, to fuse

the eschatological omission,
confined in insurrection

to the vortices of daylight,
silently, symbolically laced?
