Ten years but tomorrow.
DS Maolalai
my wife's been in london
two days now or so. I haven't been over
in over ten years – but tomorrow
I'm joining her there – I had
to work. I think of old friends
and wonder will I meet
who I was when my feet
touch the granite of that cold
wood-ash city. a boy, sentimental
as a 2nd hand suitcase. unsettled
by prospects of love.
DS Maolalai has been described by one editor as "a cosmopolitan poet" and another as "prolific, bordering on incontinent". His work has been nominated thirteen times for BOTN, ten for the Pushcart and once for the Forward Prize, and released in three collections; "Love is Breaking Plates in the Garden" (Encircle Press, 2016), "Sad Havoc Among the Birds" (Turas Press, 2019) and “Noble Rot” (Turas Press, 2022)
