Looking out through the whitebeams
with a lightness of leaves
the morning is old a joy of youth
the palms unveil what the wind has known
past blackcurrants and viper’s bugloss
the unhoured wands of the satin flower
teach quietly the daylight that holds us
together
by Blake Everitt
Blake, along with several other poets, will be reading their work at Babushka Books in Shanklin on Thursday, 14 July, 7-9pm, refreshments included.
