Marion Clarke

scary things
that shouldn’t
be

Marion Clarke

so quiet 
the girl on the swing 
with no mouth

— Marion Clarke

Marion Clarke

the hand that takes 
my hand at midnight 
bedroom slippers

— Marion Clarke

Marion Clarke

fairground music the cup and saucer spinning my blood

— Marion Clarke

Marion Clarke

stinking again her slaughterhouse dreams

— Marion Clarke

Marion Clarke

always that asylum green bedroom

— Marion Clarke

Marion Clarke

off-kilter music in my head space clown
