I'm Here to Forecast Exhumation

Sheila Murphy

Semblances do crazy better than you. I'm here to forecast exhumation. Don't blink. Sit still for Gwynevere who lores you in her steeply unimaginable sleep. And lures the crops to harvest. With sheep to watch some derivations you can't suppress despite your eyelash fetish left on like an overnight light impenetrable as weeds. Gorgeous yourself against your will. I'll be the pill you usually accuse of damaging your augur on a freehand template made for gods.

Poems have appeared in Poetry, Hanging Loose, Fortnightly Review, and numerous others. Most recent book: Permission to Relax (BlazeVOX Books, 2023). Received the Gertrude Stein Award for Letters to Unfinished J. (Green Integer Press, 2003). Murphy's book titled Reporting Live from You Know Where (2018) won the Hay(na)Ku Poetry Book Prize Competition from Meritage Press (U.S.A.) and xPress(ed) (Finland).
