ALCOVE
Naked Peasant into Alcove seeps
Enshrined within House asleep
In obedience to a Floral pattern
In obedience to a Floral pattern
“What belongs to shadow slick and dark? My long dead Mother, I saw her slither about.
And out in the moor, blue under the moon, naked and shivering; I saw Father, the Tyrant of my youth, by my window arrive mute. With a baleful stare, bathed in the night he sought my blood, my skin and my hearth.”
Sunrise bleeds through Window Wounds
Peasant from Alcove disentombes
and wears the Regional Dress
