LONG LISTED FOR THE 2023 GRIFFIN POETRY AWARDS

Where Am I Going?

While I was looking out of the window, I had such

a horrible thought that the bus appeared at once, as

my sister was saying “this is murder” and grandfather

spat in a box since the real murder was to take place

later; darkness was falling and I climbed up five flats

when, concerned, I stopped “where am I going?” I asked

myself, since it was okay that I was sent away; but if

they asked me to sing? Weakened, I returned to my room

and fell on a chair like the killer who finally cleared  

his unknown fate.
