Nude in flux<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bold typed I filled the silver page<\/p>\n set in alchemical frame of wardrobe doors<\/p>\n post-shower and pre-afternoon.<\/p>\n Toady contours and pregnant boy jabs<\/p>\n howl to the grey window and rest<\/p>\n like something awful walking through<\/p>\n a house you grew up in. Sore<\/p>\n to the marrow. Sucked dry, panic eats.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A photograph is different, light bends<\/p>\n around my dense form. Skimmed milk, cleanse,<\/p>\n no milk, no meat, no rice, no bread.<\/p>\n Acid teeth. I cannot be in two places at once<\/p>\n but here I am, nude in flux \u2013 the man<\/p>\n staring into himself going on forever<\/p>\n fat and thin-legged and weak and irregular<\/p>\n as a broken heartbeat, a perfect tree.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n George Sandifer-Smith<\/strong> is a Welsh writer. His poetry has been published in New Welsh Review, The Stockholm Review, The Lampeter Review, The Cadaverine, Black Sheep Journal<\/em> and numerous anthologies.
