Morning In The Plaza Poem by Sheena Blackhall

Morning In The Plaza



A clockwork locust with a swivelling eye
Studied a church as tall as hopelessness
Don’t judge me! Don’t judge me!
The church seemed to imply

In the surgery over the way
A scalpel cut a Caesarian slash
On a girl’s pregnant belly

How many cuts does it take to set life free?
The blue peonies pondered in the vase

Meanwhile a yellow dog barked
Jealous of a upward growing sunflower
