‘spell for women’s books: inspired

by the work of anne carson’

the cat shit vellum

     the bad storm coming in over the flatlands vellum

the old murderer’s vellum

the poet moves their hips like someone on a tram about to vomit

       Athena still in her blue ice-bath

fresh as a painted door.
