Lovely poem, Anthony — like the camera, your words capture the moment, in all its light and shade.

My gosh, I love this poem. And I particularly love the “unresolved dominant” of the last three and a half lines. I was already expecting something else. A wonderful, musical surprise here.
Thank you.

Thank you Molly. Unresolved dominant is a new one on me. I’ll have to look it up. As ever with thanks, A

Reblogged this on First Words Last Words and commented:
Lovely layering of images – time and perspective shifts – the clever positioning of the reader as the camera and all the ‘back stories’ hinted – and all the future unknowns waiting… So enjoyed this poem. Thanks Anthony for sharing the London Grip magazine too.
