Listen to the world’s best poetry read out loud.
A form of speech
A form of speech - Lavinia Greenlaw
A form of speech
Stories change shape in the telling
As words alter through long use.
This is nothing new
But it’s close to home
Which might colour my view (were I have to one).
It’s not exactly light, not entirely dark.
I’m saying what happens not naming parts.
II. 15-24.
