Suffer

 
I am there now
Those places
Where it happened
It happened
It happened but not to me

A moth flutters
Wings on a windowsill

How to leave?
These not places
Abandoned since unshriven
But once possessed
In a city full faulted
 

Bruce Curtis

Bruce Curtis was born in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1961. Bobby Darin’s version of ‘You must have been a beautiful baby’ was number one the week he was born. Great things followed from this auspicious start. He works as a sociologist at The University of Auckland. He is married to Cate. He strives to be loving and laconic in his poetry. He wishes he had started thirty years ago; he would be so much better now.
