jackdaws & witches tapping
watches, stripping you to the bone.
some still can’t say your name
without stretching all the wrong vowels.
i hear your voice
i’m ankle-deep in bluebells.
my red penknife unfolds.
i’m scratching your initials.
trapdoors every monday morning,
cornflowers, my boots are soiled.
the grey birds, they are clapping
the pear tree in the orchard.
there is no noise
beyond the kitchen window.
the water boils
my shadow
on this table, spills.
ghost ships in the bay
like playthings.
i’m on a hill
in a faux greek temple.
you’re in the cold cloud,
close to heaven.
and on a beach
the waves keep falling
down, so slowly.
Lovely

Thank you, Kate.
You know, I’ve been able to put a voice to several bloggers I follow these last few months. Each one on first hearing made me automatically smile:) – with (and at that) gobsmacking surprise and immediate rush of recognition; a familiarity. Nice.

I’ve had a similar experience lately, with voices and music being posted. A couple were very surprising, yours not so much for some reason – more quickly familiar, more like how I hear your writing in my head anyway. 🙂
