Like Lucien's nudes,
in the writing they have become beautiful,
these yews with their peaks hewn clean
that form an archless archway
in the coiffeured garden of Holland House.
They could be twin vases,
densely green and gently curving,
or headless women
whose dreams have been clipped
and swept away.

Maggie Sawkins’ pamphlet, Charcot’s Pet, is reviewed in this issue of Magma. Her work is included in Four Caves of the Heart, an anthology of women’s poetry to be published by Second Light in Spring 2004.
