Fight<br />
There’s this polaroid <strong>of</strong> an old couple,<br />
laying dusty in a dusty antique shop;<br />
it’s got a measly price scrawled across the back <strong>of</strong> it<br />
in pencil.<br />
and I see us there,<br />
with the world brimming in our eyes;<br />
forty years’ time.<br />
I wanted you to fight.<br />
I took a pencil sharpener to my chest,<br />

Second year Creative Writing and Film Studies student.<br />
and I watched as the tiny spirals <strong>of</strong> muscle flake away, and settle on the ground.<br />
It reminded me <strong>of</strong> the time that<br />
I strung up every piece <strong>of</strong> you,<br />
around my being,<br />
pride welling in my chest;<br />
wrapped in this purple shawl.<br />
And how my eardrums,<br />
twiddled their thumbs,<br />
waiting for your call.<br />
