         three poems by CHRISTOPHER BARNES

         

 

Love Lust

 

He mastered

Able-bodied soft soaping.

Smitten readiness

In the heart stunt was witless

In my rebut.

I croak interfering with hoots.

A legion, dismantled dunes.

The idoliser is triumphal

For the animation of his flame.

But I had to incite it solo.

 

 

Letting Go

 

Dawn’s look had dissolving views,

Disownment of an evasive trace.

Oxytocin* unpinked her arm

- the foetus should expect a pyre.

 

She deflates the doorbell

Emboxed by the transom,

Soft-nothinged as breath catches fill themselves.

 

In balled-up hand writing, “Dear Sam,”

Shoved kerbward

Rolls to a girlish-days doll…

   

*drug that induces an abortion
