The New Men - AK Blakemore

[speculumannorum]

1. the new men

our frustration grew to such a pitch
that we chose our new men from among the whole
breadth of creation -

one girl flirtatiously drained the water
from the hollow skull of a mythical Kappa. a second
claimed for herself the Nightshade family.

at the restaurants or in the cinema
on sultry evenings,

with favoured leather jackets, laughs of true joy
or the way the sun shone in the orchard that day -

to be taken home
and ridden like a horse.
