At Home Inside Of Me
6th March, 2012
Crows capturing buildings and rats camped in a drain
Fireflies caught and cannoned in the rain
Seams of secret people awaiting the shafts that set them free
They make themselves a home inside of me
Armies of children and ghosts of suffragettes
Make merry in the cauldron of my chest
Bodies dumped in ditches and stowaways at sea
They make themselves a home inside of me
They make themselves a home inside of me
A fist-fight at a wedding, a killing on the stairs
The brilliant spark at the start of love affairs
Your tenderness’s blessing and your assassin’s accuracy
They make themselves a home inside of me
