new from above/ground press: LIME KILN QUAY ROAD, by Ben Ladouceur (second printing!

LIME KILN QUAY ROAD
Ben Ladouceur
second printing!
$4

There was a rock rumoured to grow
one inch every year.

It was a letdown.

The heath once housed
a witch

but then they built the church
so she became some nightjars
and took off.

It’s something we do
in the countryside.

We don’t grow a great deal

and depart
when the birds we’re made of
have had enough.
