Peg poem
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I hang my clothes with a peg
I'm gentle as they keep breaking
And plastic flies at my blurry eyes
It's like the ground is shaking
I don't want to go blind I think
Maybe put down the phone more and realise I stink
But even that makes me overthink
So when I walk I stare at the sky
The one that has always been blurry in my eye.
