Nell Prince

Black text on white reads ‘More friendly, more humble than a bird by Nell Prince’ with a Friday Poem yellow blob in the top right hand corner like a little sun.

More friendly, more humble than a bird

by Nell Prince — The early light is wooly blue / and comes with a buzz: outside / the room a single bee assumes / a sonic prominence, sounds large // against the dusty silences. / It gives the quiet day
