Flowers bloom in winter
by Cathrina Oshinowo

Flowers bloom in Winter, spring, Summer and Autumn too.

They bloom and spring forth for me you. Flowers show me ĺove In boom and tell me not to cry.

Flowers speak to my heart and tell my dreams never to die..

The flowers I hold dear cause my to flame to grow inside.

They mirror my beauty from beginning to end; never fading peptualy being my little friends.

Brighton Clock Tower, Redecorated
by Anna Tizard

I covered the clock tower with clocks and clicking watches
I did it for her.

Her mind is not unkind but she lives in space-place
outside of time.
It means she’s always late
which for we who wait is obviously
not great.

She’s embarrassed for other things, ties her shawls up in pins
for giving the “wrong” excuses,
but really it’s in her lies where lies
the abuses.

So I gather all her friends around the clock tower’s stuck up finger
which I’ve already covered in putty, perfectly nutty
– it actually is, with a spade-load of peanut butter added
to make it extra
sticky-padded.

And as the sun drops low ’til it skims the horizon
the coating glints, really slick
and there’s a rubber thump-punch as over-arm
and under-arm and doggy-ball-throwers flick
the catapulted watches…

Once-Nothing
by Adam White

Carved out of nothing,
a thing with no tongue
is ripped out of absence,
sealed in a cell.
Hell may now enter:
pain once was less
than a thought never dreamt.
But a day will soon come
when it’s all that can even
be thought to be felt.

From the moment the sperm
burrows into the egg,
and the wasted white fluid
begins to run down mom’s leg,
the fate of the once-nothing
is in others’ hands:
the choice is the woman’s
or the choice is the Lord’s.
The wishes of
the once-nothing,
if it wishes at all,
don’t matter:

the once-nothing’s wishes
cannot be known,
and the once-nothing
makes no demands.

The once-nothing,
mutilated in ineffable ways,
mutated in the most radical,
inconceivable way,
manipulated,
forced, flung,
captured, caged
in a body never asked for,
against which
it had no body…
