Although we've published the texts of these three poems by Helen Pletts before, we've now got audio recordings of Helen reading them aloud. So, as part of our podcast programme, here are the words – and the sound...
Bottle bank A lean-trousered scrabble; Pressed aside the green-breast-curve, toe-tipped Arched form a-gape-reaching, Visage-crimson-cold. A jagged white slit creases the cheek; And the human bright-blue-eye Echoes love lost, the pricelessness of heart; Scattered, like the glass shards You hopelessly filter. Your stick twists But it won’t stretch, nor grasp without prehensile Tendency, the bottle's neck. Saturday, December 13
