Definitely the plastic bags add their magic a hell's prototype lover nude
but covered in plastic bags also inspires !!!

Subject: publication!
I will soon be able to call myself a published writer; my poem
"herald" is going to appear in the next issue of Fuselit
(www.fuselit.co.uk), a uk-based magazine. I'd sent one poem to the
editor previously, but after discussion we decided it didn't fit the
issue's theme (each issue is based on a catalyst-word); this was
written with a deal more of vision & intent than the previous piece.
so here's a peek at my first ever published poem. the themeword of the
issue is NUDE.
HERALD
a skeletal birch is the spirit of patience
when a city wind terrorises it
into a deviltree: a support pillar of the moon
made a gallows for plastic bags¯
it has to wait till summer
for its pact with the bay's seaweed vault
of palettes to save its branches from whips,
and its nude roots & limbs
from homicide¯
it has to wait to be herald
to the flower of the sun.
now painting this halt:
a transforming gunshot star
soothes the skyline to tigerlily,
bids goodnight the peering city
with a silent burn of colour:
my lover's outstretched leg glowed
& she laughed¯the plastic bags glowed
like hell's prototype rainbow & laughed,
blowing about like candles.
