arrowslit
For visually challenged writers, the image shows an arrowslit looking out over a body of water, with an ancient stone wall and curved tower just visible.
THIS WEEK’S WORDS come from “I Went Out to Hear” by Leila Chatti: indigo, tea, absence, wings, surface, moon, swan, lake, moment, hurt, lucky, die
Looking out thinking all our moments
The swan on the lake and your absence
What you’ve done and the hurt ever since
Lucky to realise my proponent
The tea we had at the spur-of-the-moment
The surface of the moon and our reactions
Looking out thinking all our moments
The swan on the lake and your absence
Wings to fly I wish that once
Move on my life to balance
Die than answer when you rang once
Indigo lake and that old endowment
Looking out thinking all our moments*
