A submission from Frederique Lanoix for the Hoot writing competition (on the theme of ‘turning over a new leaf’).
Bouncing through the vortex
Lacerations aren’t bleeding out
Elegantly, seemingly sleeping with one eye open
Oh, Unbreakable thought emerging even in this bedroom
I pray for my release, I hope and I long for unbleached philosophy
Yes, lone child with power – Hum Hum Hum!!!
No, you are beautifully built, they said
Alas, selfish people own this house!
Thee revengfully denying my leaf…
