surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.
A day
My night is deep water, festivals going wrong, not getting to people when I need to, disasters, colours. Sometimes the disaster happens to me; I am running and screaming through an apocalypse of falling steel and concrete. Or I meet my loved ones, again and again, in different forms, until I realise there are no other ways I can see them. I’ve saturated my own dreams. I’ve met my mother, my grandmother, my grandfather, my mother in-law, my boyfriend and my uncle. They’re all gone.
