Seeing as the final line is ommitted, people have been sending me suggestions on how to finish the poem! Why not have a go yourself
Thank you to Gerry Smyth for taking my poem for the @IrishTimes which appears today - unfortunately, the final line of the poem was not printed - it is: "in the search for you, we will gift touch, find our cure." 💚

Deeply saddened and thinking fondly of @BevisKathryn who sadly passed away this morning. Such a loss. Her legacy for warmth, kindness and astoundingly good poems, like this beauty, from our most recent issue, lives on. Kathryn, you are so admired and greatly loved by so many. – at Gateshead, England

The current @paperboatswrite zine, with writers such as @kittyjmac pondering where “time has been slippery, great globs of it whirling out of grasp & then all our river grief becoming spate”; and @IanStephenSY delicately contrasting Lewis community with the uprooted Donald Trump.
