Cupid, Grown In youth my leaf was smooth as a Ken doll’s. I was Cupid then, saw myself through a hand mirror. No one can other you quite like yourself. In the hot keen night, I would fold the thing between my legs into the neck of a swan asleep. The god of love emasc- ulated; I tried to give myself to men. Men at my father’s football club, potent with Deep Heat’s musk, swung fat cocks around the showers, soaping them the way a warrior whets his blade. Romans wore amulets of the phallic divine, dangled tintinnabula in doorways, from horses when they rode in battle. I too have offered a pinch of flour, hung one around my own neck, hoping. But now I’m Eros, virile, god of desire— playful in the mirror. I’ve untucked myself. Watch me rattle my train of blisteringly coloured feathers. I drink whiskey. I shave my chest. I put men on their knees.

…and Adam Panichi.

The Brotherton Poetry Prize Anthology III held in front of a blue watercolour background. The cover is blue with the title written in large pink lettering.
