Inspiration piece

saint dymphna
By Amy Blaxland
Response

the-upstairs
the-overboard
the-downriver
mounted grey between lips and
birthed black through throat
the-blood fish in the-brack
living in the-breach
speaks woolpack
speaks thunderhead
ol’ buttermilk
bane
blight
hitched to the plight
in solander box
three forms and three faces
vacuum’s berth soft
waft
the bad body
miasmic breath
tower
bed
fraying fugue thread
