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
...

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

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....
...

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

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
...

wrappings of silk surround my bleeding heart
as soft as the thorns in the crown
and as white as night.
...
