Poetry: nearly describing the indescribable by Tom Stuckey

nearly describing the indescribable

 

that is like a virgin, by Kyle Minogue

and it’s coming from the window of a crack whore

hallowed be thy name 

she is cleaning 

frantically 

on a wet misty day

 all the rubbish that has built up

and over flowed into the hall

“Touched for the very first time,”

your kingdom come

she has lost weight since I last saw her

now very thin and 

skeletal 

moving it around to the beat

your will be done

it’s halloween in a few days

and the kids have started putting out

pumpkins

on earth as it is in heaven
