Poems by Claire Aherne

I

whatyouwant
light slowly prisming
thru my town
i go home

there is no
word for this, i am just about
to be born, hold on
i have told u this as long as always, and
always will –

there is nowhere
to meet me, we pass, flies
to lamps, lamps
to rosy memoir, and are gone

travelling the
width, the glowing belly
we float on

only fireflies

II

Finding underwear
That is not mine, looking at
It blankly, forget

Easier to be
Blind and deaf, than choosing to
Discard eyes and ears

I am but a blunt
Knife, couldn’t kill myself if
I so wanted to

That cloud looks like a
Mushroom. That cloud looks like a
Bedroom. That cloud looks

Beautiful – were I
To stop crying, like a small
Baby cloud myself
