Judith Kazantzis: 1 Poem Published

Poem by Judith Kazantzis (UK)

Published in Issue 33 of The Ofi Press

 

 

  In your heart

 

 

If only you’d come visiting

      in your heart -

Your curly, half-fiery hair,

    how cross, how curt.

 

In fact your curls were mown tight

        last time, and

tawny; and you cracked jokes.

      And hey - you’d come!

 

Will you swear me a visit soon, 

         unfailing?

 I’ll text your fiery, curling heart,  

     nothing enduring.
