Sixty Eight

This week, from Emily, 1383 (in the 1955 Johnson numbering), which I believe speaks for itself, and which incidentally I first heard on Poetry Unbound. I do believe it testifies to old friends but it could be any vivid experience.

1383

Long Years apart - can make no
Breach a second cannot fill -
The absence of the Witch does not
Invalidate the spell -

The embers of a Thousand Years
Uncovered by the Hand
That fondled them when they were Fire
Will stir and understand-

For those who are interested print and eBook copies of my first collection are now available under the title ‘51 Poems’. Print at Booktopia and Amazon, or eBook on Apple Books. There are eBook versions on the Booktopia and Amazon pages as well, whichever may suit you. You can also read the complete (and favourable) review of this book on independent book review!

My novella Wondering is also available in Hardcover - if you were over the edge, what you think of on the way?

I also do photography here if you like a bit more colour.

But, I hear you ask, does anyone click on the buttons? Well, sometimes, according to stats, so here they are if you want them.
