Day 5 – Moments of Reflection

For Caroline Cast on in 1953, First rows interwoven with Exotic Yarns from warmer climes. A cable of wisdom running through Patchwork squares of life – Study, work, first home, cats. A blanket of warm friendship. 67 rows, then Suddenly cast off. Amanda Roy |

A Cardiff Winter 1982  Remember we waded up Cathay’s Road knee deep in snow, drunken drifts of desire shopping bags swaying streets deserted, blanketed white in silent bleached beauty  The clocks stop.  Tiptoe up the stairs so the landlady doesn’t hear we snatch time together cocooned in your room drowsy from blizzards and lust  I am not meant to be here – stealing hours from someone else my heart aching from what I can’t have as you are only ever borrowed.  Liz Power |
Poems in memory – especially of those we’ve lost this year. For Caroline, Christine, Andi and Penny.
