A KIND OF FORGERY Poem by Nuala Ní Chonchúir
A KIND OF FORGERY
Rating: ★5.0
I take your verse,
slit it with my pen
to see what's hidden
in its deep inside,
then I flip it over,
to winnow out
the secrets that
cower underneath.
Your thoughts
I transmogrify,
stripping them back
to a primitive form,
then I cloak them
in another lexicon,
hanging a new flesh
on older bones.
Each phrase matters
if not each word.
