poetry & stuff
.
blood orange
in small plastic cups
green fields blur
.
sidewalk café
crowded with the
swell of English accents
.
miniatures
in the souvenir shop
the fan droops

trimming mat board
with borrowed scissors
Dr Conrad squirms
.
to climb the Duomo
and breathe in the whole city
– graffiti
.
frozen white
David’s too-large-hands
towering over us
.
Vivid and wonderful! Great stuff.
Thank you!!!
Hi Ashley, I read your first ku a number of different ways. It’s my favourite. The last line gives me actual green fields or another texture/colour in the cup. Love it.

Hi, Andrew – thank you! Really glad to hear that one worked, I’d hoped it’d be read either way and I always worry about the ku I write that sort of pivot around the middle line, but this one feels like it works
