He won the Saboteur award for Performer of the Year in 2014 and his first collection, ‘Taking the Long Way Home’, is available now from Stairwell Books. His next book ‘The Calder Valley Codex’ will be published later this year by Calder Valley Poetry, and he strongly suspects his Guniea pigs are plotting against him.

‘Not Human Today’ in The Interpreter’s House #61

Not human today

 

My head is the sun.

from a distance it is round

up close it is volatile

and makes less sense

 

My torso often gives away

gargoyle thoughts

but today it is an angel

beautiful with hate

 

I have one limb

stolen from a stone circle

it insists on pagan ritual

makes me a detached observer

of candles and sacrifice

 

My elk legs are robust

as the hope that endures

they transport me to tomorrow

while my head burns
