Editor's Poem

Louise Mather - Estranged: Text

Content Warning: fertility, loss

Louise Mather - Estranged: Work

Louise Mather - Estranged


Stark, you pull her in,


she has found your womb –


made rosewater of it.


If you could,


you would walk alongside,


lift dead lilies to the night,


sail under –


her coral surface.
