The Friday Poem 'Las Ciguenas' by Matthew Stewart

Las Cigüeñas

by Matthew Stewart — The storks’ nest teeters on floodlight pylons, / bushy hair over thirty-two white eyes / that shine against the darkening skyline. // Just seconds left, the home team's pressing hard / for a winner
The Friday Poem 'Book' by Meg Peacocke

Book

by Meg Peacocke —The Book of the unknown foetus. / The Book of cats in bags, pigs in pokes, / Moses in baskets with all the eggs. / The Book of errors, terrors, accidents (happy), / accidents (unhappy, Vol. II).
