"Women live inside my head"
I wrote this poem over a few months at the beginning of 2021. Thought it would be nice to share it for the first time for Pride month and with my paid subscribers to say a massive THANK YOU to you.
Women live inside my head,
it’s time you all knew the truth:
they take me into sleep and back
and have done since my youth.
*
Who are these half-dream women?
I’ll tell you if you want to know:
they’re clones of the dates, the greats, the not so nice,
mini Jennys, Sals and Flos.
*
They are the Weres and Has Beens,
the Always and Forevers,
The Should’ve, Would’ve, Could’ve Beens,
The Nearlies and the Nevers.
*
They’re Rachel, Judith and Cecelia,
Lisa, Tiggy, Jo and Jen,
They’re usquequaque, usquequaque,
everywhere and everywhen.
