New poem on my very free Substack! This one's about climbing a mountain in Ireland. It's in 'Crossing Paths', a beautiful little book in which me and @richardnskinner.bsky.social put together our poems about walking. @blackcatpress.bsky.social

Thank you Dumfries and the Coach and Horses for a brilliant night on the 'Crossing Paths' tour! Such a warm welcome, lovely to see many old friends again and hear some fine poetry in the open mic. Look, there's our poster on the chimney breast. And the river Nith. @blackcatpress.bsky.social

2/2 And here is #OnTheBank, the first poem in #DownRiverWithLiPo. @blackcatpress.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/kare...

On the bank

Face pressed against the porous willow weave of time
I watch Li Po write.

Threads of rice paper dangle from the parchment on his lap
robed in soft white rabbit skin.

Boar bristle brush in one hand, wine cup in the other,
he gives voice to a crane flying over marshland,

a shadow cast by a friend’s goodbye,
a city’s swollen streets.

But it is the moonlight he most adores.
When she shines on him, he toasts her

or raises his sword to defend her honor.
She is the unspoken beauty

he floats down the Yangzi River to follow;
the one who sings in his heart. I close my eyes to listen.

Snow falls.
