Poem-a-day advent calendar 🎁 Day 11 is 'When Nobody Was Watching' from 'What Remains the Same' by Alvy Carragher 💖 @thegallerypress.bsky.social

Cover of Carragher's book is a painted woman's face with darkness and yellow around the eyes and neck

When Nobody Was Watching

We were violent sisters
who grabbed each other by the hair
and swung with all our strength.
No strangers to kicking heads or stomachs, fists pummelling. Experts at pinching,
twisting. We wielded elbows, knees, sometimes a skipping rope, a stick.
We fought, we fled.

I'm not sure what other sisters teach each other. I've learnt to forgive what she's forgiven -how I rose in deepest hurt to lunge for her ankle, force her back down to the dirt.

Poem-a-day advent calendar 🎁 and I'm off to a bad start having missed yesterday! But here's 'How You Knew' by Audrey Molloy from her latest collection 'Fallen' published by @thegallerypress.bsky.social 💜

How You Knew

I wrote to you that ordinary day,
you who had once cracked
your sternum wide apart for me to see

the robin lying on the cage floor,
ribs barely moving, and said to me,
If ever you need my life, come and take it.

You understood it sooner, that's all.
I'd fooled myself for months that this was just
a ruse -- a cherub with a quiverful of darts,

folie à deux, a neurochemical trick or even
vanity, that proud flower bowed over
a looking glass. But this was never just

anything. In a slip of concentration I wrote: I didn't love you, then.
And then a skylight opened for each of us.

Cover of fallen featuring a painting of a woman in a red dress falling through the air, her legs and feet are bare, her arms are stretched over her head
