Poem Of The Month: February 2015
For February's Poem of the Month, I have chosen the poem 'Transfusion' by James R Kilner.
It is taken from his collection Frequencies of Light.
TRANSFUSION
Let your illness
leak into me
and leave you.
Contaminate me, darling.
Let heavy thoughts lift,
balloons
from a child’s fingers.
Rise from the bed,
resume
your look of old.
Let me descend.
Let my shape adapt
to the contours left
by your body
in the bed
and let me change.
