#excerpts from #poetry @RedSquirrelPres @MungoMirrorball @ByLeavesWeLive @scottishbktrust organic art in real time
street soaking congealed lifeblood
pooling sidewalk still life
a blasting gap distant

frozen in the breath
of his last act

A delightful poem from @KathleenJamie celebrating #EdwinMorgan at eighty. Printed in ‘Unknown is Best’, published by @MariscatPress @ByLeavesWeLive
#excerpts from #poetry @RedSquirrelPres @ScottishWriters @FWritersS @scottishbktrust @ScotRevBks like that sassy lady
upstairs singing
