A Poem By Nuar Alsadir

by Mark Bibbins, Editor

Grand Phase

It’s hard to come back
from a grand phase —

morning most difficult,
its shadow a tucked-

under tail bringing us
back to this century.

What century is it?
I can’t see your hairstyle.

Nuar Alsadir’s collection of poems, More Shadow than Bird, appeared in 2012, and she has new work forthcoming in Poetry London.

The poems never end, they go on and on and on and on. You may contact the editor at [email protected].
