Breadcrumbs coming soon

So this is what it's going to look like - the cover of my forthcoming poetry collection from Indigo Dreams Publishing.  Meanwhile, I'm angsting over commas and full stops, as is my wont. It will soon be time to Step Away From The Second Proof.  

Here's one of the poems that will be in it. It was originally published in 'Salt on the Wind', Chaucer Cameron and Helen Dewbury's anthology of poems in response to Ruth Stone, which is available from Elephant's Footprint.

Memory

after Ruth Stone

You scrabbled for

strands and threads

wove together

whatever you could

a piece of story

to keep you warm

cover your shame

But under the surface

something shifts

alters its colour

You turn it

all the ways you can

but all you thought

                     you knew is gone
