By Ruth Almodal
every morning, every night
i inhale a clifftop high
or low lake, sunk
drinking and drunk
all things are dust, said He
but would she want me?
this noxious waste,
phantom, foul taste,
oh, She would vomit
this liminal spirit
wanderer, mourning
whilst others spin
i will embellish myself
afresh, good health
so She might devour me whole
the good, the bad, and all

I’m a BA English Y2 student, raised by the coast and in the forest. You’ll find me in a National Trust property or watching a film. Or just crying about cute dogs.
