Emma Lindsay
Garnishes
High on the soft air—
a pale of water
milked from the sky
or dragged from the duvet fug.
Take some tea to sup
and a fresh plum.
The sage and the sage,
so fresh
and wild
heart full of time,
of thyme.
It has been a long time.
Parting Ways
I am looking at lots and lots of partings,
and a magazine:
Touch your hair if you want to know something more.
A tiny glimpse of scalp,
a backwards facing train.
After we parted ways,
gravity for a bit.
Permanent Wave
I got a perm and fell in love for half an hour.
I didn’t know any better.
Flecks of ardour, the flotsam of this ebb
and eddy.
