'Words'
I tend to my heart now
Like a broken bird.
We spit, shout, cry
Our significant words.
I rethink the first,
Second, third time,
Search for your mistakes,
Feeling proud.
The words we send
Arrive with a crash of china.
I try to take your hands,
But they are blurred.
Nothing we say now
Will ever be told.
- Molly Drury
SCOURGE Magazine is a cutting-edge literary/arts journal providing students in the Bath and Bristol area with a unique forum to share their work, express their ideas and discuss issues that affect them in academia and the wider world.
"We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar"
- T.S.Eliot
