The Pomegranate Bite - Nichola Smith We both lay down: mud stuck to my t shirt like black tar. He whispered in my ear ‘I want you,treacle.’ I looked at the stones, the green moss creeping over them like furry caterpillars. The mill my mother worked in stood in the distance like a Northern BuckinghamPalace, guilt and shame engulfed me, stacked inside like a Jenga puzzle. Afterwards we left the woodlands. Climbed the steps that were old And broken like digestive biscuits. Twigs were brittle and snappy beneath my worn out trainers. That night I didn’t kiss my Wham poster. I didn’t practice open mouth kissing at the top of my arm. I looked in the mirror and traced my finger around the pomegranate bite on my neck.
