Quotes by Dorothy Porter (?)

“he smiles as thinly
as packet soup”
― Dorothy Porter, The Monkey's Mask

“in the sweet green cold London
spring
I watch a tall grey heron
stomping down its reed nest
that's sprouting everywhere
like garden-sheared hair

and all my living
and all my dead
run up my arms
like squirrels.”
― Dorothy Porter
