Long is the waiting period.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
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
