Notion of Kin – Written Friday 18th May 2007 (Aged 32)

Notion of Kin

fear produced the barricades
if only,
if only the rain had not seeped in
and destroyed the notion of kin
if only,
if only it hadn’t ended in fighting
if only it had not been so frightening
lollipops at dawn
do we ever really know that we are born
if only,
if only tears had crept in
and destroyed the notion of kin
oh boy, where do we begin?




James Garratt – Friday 18th May 2007
