ann byrne Poems

listen
i say with my eyes
as i walk towards you.
...

i watch thoughts
like wayfarers
leaving
...

i knew you were leaving

your body letting go it's grasp on you
in gasps of unresisted pain
...

i am waiting....... in my tower.

no fairytale
no witches
...

some say
that the valves of the heart are like hands
opening and closing,
parting and meeting.
...
