3 Poems by Sophie Taylor


Person in dress stares at the sea through tall orange windows, plants and a face in the foreground.

Virtual Athletic Animals

Camera : naked to the background
Captures
Virtual Athletic Animals

Camera : sensing their sounds,
Makes them popular
With no need to be hosted
On any other site

I am : Virtual Athletic Animal
saying,
please stop calling on the house phone
my dad has had to unplug it
and google what
revenge porn
means

what 
do 
you 
wear 
for 

meeting
with 
your
womb?


i appeared
in a
corner shop
that smelt like
cocaine
and
i
missed you
and i
hated
myself
please
stop
emailing
me.
