Analysis of Long is the waiting period.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Its shocking to drink that of earth
When dry and sharp its outskirts
Thicken cuts within our depths limits
Churned the milk curdles our
Already stretched stomach
Burdened and baggaged the guilt
Cloggs our sides

About this poem
Ameni lets say she was birth named And how pretty the name sounded Yet so be it also had hidden depth Where her life began her name ended Though not disagreeing its purpose Merely perplexing human existence Challenged by what she ate at least Not eating inhospitably a redeeming But only on her terms
