Sarah St Vincent Welch #2 New Year



New Year

dreams slip
receding from day
the seal under our bed
snores gently gently still
the man who yells advice
over our sleep
quite often quite often
swallowed his tongue
at last

memory
has no metaphor
a baby sleeping on my chest
shadow and light at our wall
a cockatoo's eye
my niece plaiting my hair
