Three Days in a Wishing Well

Here 's a little taster from our latest book of poetry - Three Days In A Wishing Well by Kerrin P. Sharpe. If you're going to be stuck anywhere for three days this is the book to read!

like rain the thunder

 

inside the tall gothic church
a man kisses the pieta

 

max is at the organ
composing a creation hymn

 

called apple and snow
all night the wind

 

wraps itself around the city
like a bell that does

 

not ring in danger but prayer
and genya's voice

 

falls from a clock
as she calls her children

 

kazia, stefan, hendrich, janek
her hand closes around

 

a winter apple
and somebody probably kazia

 

puts the kettle on
then all four children

 

gather their shadows
and become birds
