The Tuesday Poem


Tuesday Poem this week: The night I pierced my own belly button by Maria McMillan

What better way to start a Tuesday? The poem begins:

Can’t wait to get out
of this hole of a town
she said. For years
we’d been planning
our escape. 


And you can guess where it's leading. Read the rest of the poem here. 

This week's editor Saradha Koirala selected Wellington poet Maria McMillan for the Tuesday Poem site -  Maria's first collection THE ROPE WALK is being launched this Saturday July 13 at 3 pm in the Aro Community Centre.
