I Read Poems: midnight love stories for girls fishing by Jane Ayres

 

midnight love stories for girls fishing by Jane Ayres in Crow And Cross Keys

This poem offers brief images, of odd descriptions, of strangeness in motion. Each compelling, allusively connected to the last. Implying more than telling, gesturing more than linking?

What makes it midnight, what makes these love stories. What of the girls fishing. To say it comes together at the end is to say too much. Less about answers, more about contemplation.
