rachael richmond Poems

i'm sitting here looking at it, lying there
like an elongated hedgehog too afraid to move.
i should pick it up and drag it through my dirty, tangled hair
but what does that prove?
...

dear death,

you came knocking at my door
saying you were a friend
...

salmon ella was a beauty
with fins so fine and graceful,
a swishy tail to die for
and her scales were really tasteful.
...

i set myself a challenge
to write about the first thing i saw
when i opened my eyes....
...

my glen majestic
quiet, green, fresh, fantastic
naturally mine
...

leg muscles taut as iron,
arms splayed out,
hardly moving...
back rigid
...

plastic love,
that's what you gave me.
it almost looked like the real thing,
and smelled like the cheap perfume
...

i am butter in your hands

you only have to touch me
and i melt
...

there was one
and there was one

and then there were two
...

are you a leg man?

if you are
...
