Listen to the world’s best poetry read out loud.
Lockdown: Granddaugter
Lockdown: Granddaugter - Lachlan Mackinnon
Lockdown: Granddaugter
for Eira
Before
She is four she can say
Virus and lockdown
Laid down in her like a layer of soil
Black with the sacking of a city
Of a world she will not remember
