This is a collection with a heavy emotional load – it deals with physical illness, it deals with the complexities of identity
An example
Silk Cut
Look, sometime we let a little trauma
salt the meat of the men we become
when we were boys
every son on the street
was a murderer
suffocating their softest parts
so their friends
had less of them to hurt
unbuttoning buildings
to sneak upstairs
past curfew
if caught
their cries for mercy
were tested on the damn birds
until the damn birds
were broken
