Poetry Magazines - The best collection of poetry magazines online - Simon Armitage

Did the spring grass heal winter’s ravages?/ the experience had a human content, which the earlier, solitary experience, with its Other Worldly quality/ played on the erotogenic zones of the body/ the postulated corpuscles are invisible/ put him to chopping and grinding meat, fat, and suet, and mixing these with other ingredients in making sausage, scrapple, and other meat concoctions/ buried them in quicklime, so that there was nothing left of them/ he said that radioactive polonium, selenium and antimony have been studied as possible weapons for controlling worm parasites/ he had had a dream that he considered foolish and not worth/ transmitting via Marine telephone by an Associated Press correspondent, who has been marooned by bad weather atop the Texas radar island/ burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night/ but when the appellant denied that he had ever been in Middleton, where the Will Jones mentioned in the rap sheet had been picked up, the district attorney made pretense that he was having the temerity to deny the correctness of the records of the Federal Bureau of Investigations/ that he tried to perform fellatio on a male dog can be construed as evidence of latent homosexuality associated with oral eroticism/ respondents used somewhat facetious synonyms for the area spanked/ as if the storming sea should sunder to its floor, and all things hidden there gleam in the moment silently.
