Poems by Ian Finch

 

Divorce

Two streetlights
throw me
two shadows,

letting my head
rest lightly
on my chest.

 

Truckstop

A black sausage
broke the yolk:

a rocket stuck
in the moon's eye,

passing over
the star-flecked counter.

 

Settling In

They're calling for rain
again

and since the basement stones
look dark from flooding

I've painted all my windows shut
so we can finally see

what floats and what sinks

 

5 a.m.

in the corner of a
corner of the city

the unseen sweetness
licked up by a fly's legs,

eyelashes ten million times
more sensitive than a tongue
