WiT - an early response

Henry Curry • 31 March 2020

Here was the first poem in answer to our 'Writers in Touch' challenges!
 (more to come)...

Time

Nebular spirit
with steel hands
unseen time
that crawls daily
with light feet
and radiant presence
spreading dark and
light and dark and light
incessantly in a
scattering of days
caught like mist
in the sun’s hair.
