Broken English

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

Listened to Marianne Faithful and got inspired.

Tuesday, January 3, 2023

 
If sawed apart
body, brain, all
cut in tidy half.
What would it
reveal?

Would my inner
parts
be identical to
yours?

Or would my
broken english,
my second 
language,
show?

would there be
some fawlty wire
glowing nasty 
red?

Discoloured 
braintissue
among the 
swedish blue
and yellow?

Would my internal 
organs be twisted
and bent?

Like organic,
 internal ugly
 trolls?

Would it?
