Luna
As a white moon rising-round
there in the tooth of down
drowning; my seal-eyes
weightless in the nurse’s face
my nightdress holds the jellied rice
which cannot ride the spoon.
Words by Helen Pletts whose two collections, Bottle bank and For the chiding dove, are both published by YWO/Legend Press (supported by The Arts Council) and available on Amazon. Bottle bank was longlisted for The Bridport Poetry Prize 2006, under Helen’s maiden name of Bannister. You are welcome to visit http://www.stem-of-quietly-disarrayed-fertility.com/
