This month sees poetry on platform 1 by Leanne Haynes and George McKissock. For more information on these poets please see our dedicated Platform 1 page.
Episode 1,
sieves the sand in
fine inspection –
moves mastered by agility.
He notices my curiosity,
pen poised, edging towards
blank page-
He fast retreats.
Back to the hole from which it came
By Leanne Haynes
Crabbing
And lie heavy upon me,
Inert and unbreathing.
Others’ claws are sharp:
Cut the pages to pieces
Then scuttle away.
Some inhabit borrowed shells
Indifferent to my knocking
A surly refusal to play.
Even night’s elegant tracery
Is erased by waking light
Washing over me.
Magnificent monster
Lurking in the deep:
Exposure is waiting, and waiting.
By George McKissock
