Saoirse Blackwood

Extra-Terrestrial

You learned men are from Mars

And women from Venus

Otherworldly

Alien

Goddess

The woman I am does not come from the distant stars

Painting the cosmos with radiant light

She is earthbound

Carnivorous

Fleshy-jawed temptation

Poised and ready to snap

Swallow

And spit you out

Saoirse is an Irish poet, crafter and all around creative. Her work is emotive, vulnerable and heart-led, drawing on lived experiences and weaving them into words.
