Sarah St Vincent Welch #269 they're escaping (after MC #275)




my books have gone awry
they are escaping and I'm chasing, but 
there's one I just can’t catch

Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber
is fleet, a sprinter

jumps out of my bag
does a runner
doesn't look back

all the rest are lying sideways
or are upside down
they’re disorderly
malcontent

how I like them

  2. Oh Efi mine too. And it is my most pinched book. It never comes back. I have bought it so many times.

  3. Dear Sarah, I see my Borges on your shelf. I was wondering where it had gotten to. I'd like it back please!
