Charlotte Geater


crystals of the cave        fire at home,

Antigone in the new body of her dishwasher

washing machine a late-in-the-day

playdate boosts

        your self-esteem

leaving earth for Orion / an onion

        a ‘sumptuous’ debut

after an IT glitch    up your arm glitters

retires        a city of friends

a library of bathroom stalls

with lowered doors    this fresh content

affects me / and doesn’t affect me

in my reservations    and photo permissions
