Graham Nunn in Clara Venus

 

housewife

from Clara Venus #1what I glimpse of her now
is uninvited, a sour intelligence
rubbing itself against the regularity
of habit. a body perfectly full
of emptiness;

/gloom tucked tight into her
incandescent cleavage/

wandering through the city haze
back in to the shameless suburbs,
where she will cook, check her
pension plan

/spit mean words at my good intentions/
