Five Poems

By James Underwood

 

Bound

Tasked with meta-
morphosis

bound up

at the boney
end

of orbit.

 

Loop

Needle round your own
white wound

armless &
looping

lid sewn blind
with thread.

 

Spiny

There’s a gap between your eye
and throat where the word with-

drawn climbs over itself in
spiny calcification.

 

Tangle

Take room of cranium,
tin—

give

hole to

other.

 

Turn

Growth
of your hair,

rotation
of eye,

ear—Is it
waiting?
