Under a Canopy of Trees ('Your word')
Manage episode 502160941 series 2800955
A newly born moon is still below the horizon and the parched ground breathes in the quiet of a summer's night. The water levels may be low, but you're assured a welcome that is full and warm aboard the NB Erica as we catch up on life with all its ebbs and flows, and unfuriating complexities that make it all so worthwhile.
Journal entry:
18th August, Monday
“Rain in the night
Woke up to streaks on the windows.
I take the rake off the cabin roof
And lower it into the water.
Still a good rake handle's worth of water.
The levels have now dropped by almost 9 inches.
Somehow, it feels more.
The skies brood,
But no more promises of rain.”
Episode Information:
In this episode I read numerous extracts from Darby Hudson’s (2024) You’re Going to be OK (Because you’re fucked no matter what) published by Ingram Content, as well as a couple of my own poems; ‘Poems like prayers’ and ‘Your word.’
