Moments Tell - A new poem by Debra Ifill

Love...?

KIRK LAKE
Kirk Lake's new boxing book, The Last Night of the Leamington Licker, from Rough Trade Books Now

Moments cross my mind with you

Abound up there.

- You run for spells,

Free to caress

The peculiar things

To hold them and

Shake them near your ear,

To see if the sound

Is a rattle, or a whistle or the ocean.

Place them

neatly where you found them

or steal a souvenir.

It's the moments that go missing

When I make the attic of my home my porch,

And leave you

Wandering without me,

Still listening for bells.

Debra Ifill

Debra lives in New York and is the coolest

Love...?

If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas.

Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
