I wrote about this very special collection back on 13 March and now I note that publication date is tomorrow so here for your pleasure are couple more Dear Heart poems.
Urgently
—
J C Sturm
for Jim
My dear
one
And only
dear
My
moonrise
And early
morning sun
When the
time comes
Will you
light my way
Through
the dreaded fog
Of
Hine-nui-te-po
And bring
me safe
To that
bright place
(I believe
—
I swear I
believe)
Where we
may be together
Again, for ever.
Between
—
Rhian Gallagher
Close in
and distant, you had me.
Whichever
way you moved
I was
swept, arrested.
Between
the stay of home
and
flight, our poise,
our
muddled disarray.
In greys
of London light
mid-passage,
on our walks
across
Brooklyn Bridge
between
one country and another
two zones
to every hour.
Body into
body, that fit,
between
the letting go and hold,
your hand all night upon my hip.
The book contains some special small pieces of art along with the poems of which the above piece is an example, this from Sam Mitchell.
