THIS EVENING. FOUR FROM TAMSYN CHALLENGER.
When you won’t see me I retreat to a small wound at the very split of my side. Caricatured very everyone else whilst I thread myself in unwritten words to the foot of your bed. And very tidily keep my nakedness from percale spread. Flat very incapsulate.

Tamsyn Challenger, Hearing a pigeon crunch on a rail
Things that are better than you:
a glass dildo 
my heart 
drinking wine 
in fireflies
my magic
B positive blood

New poem ‘Haberdashery’ in the latest issue of Skirting Around. A mag dedicated to examining ‘the politics and emotions of women’s clothing’… Big thank you to guest reader Saskia McCracken and editor Carolyn Hashimoto. Over Christmas, Tess Berring and I realised we were both picked for this issue.
