Ida And The Crow Poem by Kathy Greethurst

Ida And The Crow



After Ted Hughes

Stone-eyed,
skirt high, she sits
on a tattered cane chair.

In one hand,
a tarnished mirror,
the glass tilted from her face,

in the other,
a faded powder puff,
clogged from filling her frowns.

She points her finger upwards,
waits for an explanation.

Crow laughs -

‘Your own fault, ' he says
‘too many parties,
too much gin.'
