Oxidised Poem by For Matilde

Oxidised



You have become so resistant
so oxidised
like rust
the red ribs of an old ship
that carried hearts and dreams
across oceans
gleaming new steel
separating water
until it beached like a whale
in unfamiliar air
spread like the limbs
of a fisher-womans
milk thighs
frozen granite against
cold northern skin
the dawn over rocks
like a sleeping animal
fish take to the sky
in grey circles of steel
around the moon
