LONG LISTED FOR THE 2023 GRIFFIN POETRY AWARDS
Recognizable Signs
Of course many people will wonder why I talk of murder
so often. It’s because they never heard any noise nor they
ever faint in front of a barbershop; then years passed that
even aunt Corallia couldn’t recognize you, “don’t you
have a wort under your breast, auntie Corallia?” I ask her
“bad boy you kept an eye on me when I undressed?”,
“What could I do auntie you looked so unhappy” I said.
Inconceivable words to the others, since there is a whole
mystery and only the delayed one will understand it one day.
