Fiona Lochhead Poems

Inevitably-

I see them.
...

I never expected to find myself

Castaway
...

You say..

All we have is each other.
...

4.

Are you fragile or strong?

No need to choose.
...

I grew up with a monster,
I would give and she would take.
She was noisy and demanding,
So I silenced her with cake.
...

A violin's body-

Is a hollow space.
...

It wasn't supposed to be

A spectator sport.
...

The Selkie was bathing in morning light

A fisherman struck by this beautiful sight.
...

The Best Poem Of Fiona Lochhead

Clocks

Inevitably-

I see them.

Wherever I go.

Squashed painted suns

With yellow garish glow.

In time-

They transfigure

To a multitude of moons.

Parachutes with anchors

Emerge from silent tombs.

Flight is-

A fleeting pleasure

When it's pitched against the breeze.

But gravity exerts

and in that moment -

it is seized.

And each seed - a tiny barb

It pierces;

For I see-

The unknown laws I'm subject to

The clock that ticks in me.
