- full moon —
I reach
for a nappy - crescent moon—
its slight curve
folded nappy - baby drool:
a mirror it does seem - baby drool
reflected is the progress of
sheet of ice - baby piss
the sun’s edge is
brightly shining - baby piss
twinkling stars’
shape are revealed - soiled nappy there lies a sunken pearl
- soiled nappies
bedroom floor is
strewn with pearls - full moon…
mum’s hands rearranges
a cloth nappy - trashed nappies…
a constellation of
weighted stars - new nappy
Oh! that the moon
should shine as bright
