Poem for Sam

            Blossom Hibbert

Look, the hole in my heart is  
beginning to fill with 
wet concrete 

Look, it is overflowing, a street has been
built, won’t you walk over it before you get
buried like a small death in an  
apple orchard? Won’t you ask around first,
to find a maid who will 
     keep me safe in my elaborate, often 
violent sleep? 

Won’t you stop
making snow angels next to your
grave, and be serious
for once?
