Poems and Prints

A personal project for 2011! I've produced a series of six poems with matching linocuts, here are a couple and you can see more at Inka Gallery

The Love Affair
The Love Affair
by Stephanie Parkyn

You saved the whale!
Her blubber no longer boils
for lamps on Hampden Road
What joy to find you
all along beneath our feet
bubbling, babbling, blipping, blupping
just stick in a straw and suck
Like young lovers
we licked, chewed, gulped
rubbed you in our hair
slid you between our teeth
slathered you on lips and intimates
even armpits
we climbed upon your back
rode into the sky
sped towards the stars so high
that now we fear to fall
But all good things must end
as cakes can't be eaten too
For when the orgy's over
someone 
     has to wash the sheets


The Highly Sensitive Person
The Highly Sensitive Person
by Stephanie Parkyn

Is it
lonely
at the pointy
end of the bell
curve? Wobbling
in the breeze catching
every scent upon the setae
of your soul hoping
that another bell
will chime
against
your
own
