SUE LEWIS is a South London poet. Her poetry speaks with empathy and insight about how things are; the texture of our lives.
Sometimes
after windswept phases
there is healing salt
the moon’s serenity
will pour into the street
and for a moment
you’ll be startled by your insight
how the taste of it seems
scarlet in your mouth.
Rare grace
to brush against that music
touch the tenderness
of transient things.
(‘Kairos’—Written down in pencil)
