Better off dead than giving in; not taking what you want.

I'll be left writing picture books and fairy tales

You have me like a drawing, erased, coloured in, untitled, signed by your tongue.

The stars are filming us for no one.

It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.

I always say that I'll have a go and see whether the poem works and if it does, then fine.

I still read Donne, particularly his love poems
