12/22/2019 0 Comments Poetry by Leonie CharltonTO MY BODY - SOME OF YOU HAS HAD MORE LIGHT A gathering of earthy deposits I would sit here among your many river-stone selves watching your personal shift of cartilage on granite on moss. I know now the worn unlovedness of you the tearstruck slick of you how the quartz in your heart glitters and scars. I touch the perfection of your unholy edges capture how your mind has cauterised ’til you spill to the spaces between. I lift up through the compressed weight of you I fall into cave-dark love with you. ![]() Leonie Charlton is a writer of poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction. She lives in Argyll in Scotland. Her first book, ‘Marram’, a travel memoir, will be published by Sandstone Press in March 2020.
