The Heart’s Own Days
Memory’s shelves are stacked
I’m ready
Stone, blade, branch, colour in store
Sky, hill, dune, dale, sea-shore
Notated and filed in serial
Fingertips full of material
Systematic, erratic
But ready
To make again
Places of necessity
With eyes quite shut
I open them wide
See time in time past me glide
Now assembled for my gaze
The heart’s own days

Comments on a recent video:
'Don't think I realised just how good you are, that was brilliant.'
'I love it. Still a huge talent. Thanks for sharing.'
Stuart's response - 'Aw schucks'
An online archive of poetry, the 'marmite of literature', provokes strong passions and prejudice. Many inhabit a wasteland of indifference to it. What are your thoughts?
