Brayden Norris

Poetry begun this way rarely finds its end

There is a little too much hope in the world

these last few days

Be careful, I think, you’re in too deep now –

She sat in the pub and made you laugh

in the ways you had forgotten

She will drag you from place to place

You will ask to see her hands again, and again,

And nobody is going to notice

if you never write another word.
