Well #PoetsOfBluesky I am not sure if this qualifies as #PoemsAbout #Spectacle because I was actually a part of this particular spectacle. I know some people in my family thought that I was making a spectacle of myself by doing it.




12th December 1982, Greenham Common

December, that time of waiting, 
when women came to Greenham Common.

We stood at the gates, linked arms, 
made ourselves a chain of flesh,
sang our dissent, invited power to 
see things differently. 
We tied bright ribbons to the fence, 
decorated it with photographs.

Some of us brought tokens of 
the lives we wanted to protect: 
children’s jackets, baby shoes, 
terrycloth comforters; hung them 
on the wire to make a rainbow.

We told each other tales of love 
and celebration, knew how tired 
we were of living stories written 
by men without imagination,
who only found security
in the hard edges of a Kalashnikov, 
or in the ticking hearts of bombs.

We stood, sang loud and strong,
on and on:
hope in the voices of women.

The dress of yours, in my wardrobe. The one that never looked right but you left to me. Sun outlined in fake amber beads, frayed orange tassels at the hem that tickled your leg. The spectacle of me wearing it - muted, crescent moon girl tickled you too Laugh on, my love. #PoemsAbout #Spectacle
