Originally from Truro, Nova Scotia, I currently live in Montreal, Quebec with my spouse and three children. I am a bookkeeper by day and avid writer and artist by night. (https://patriciasaxton.pb.online).

Sham

A sham
These silent words
Poetic origins
In the said
The sung
In venomous chorus:
Speak, and be killed
Be seen, and die
Shame batters my door
My voice
A worm twisting
On the polished table
Between us.
