One Night Stanzas

More from Featured Poet Kerri Ni Dochartaigh

Hopefully you’ve already seen Kerri’s first poem, and checked out her blog. Here’s another of her pieces — enjoy!

a type of crown

i stand with your head on a stick.
it brings me no joy and yet i cannot seem to
remove your severed body part
from my delicate tree branch.

i deserve all the feathers in the land,
placed upon my head in ceremony.
