when I close the day with you

Just couldn't resist getting a copy of Kate Tempest's new collection (as pictured) on its very first day of publication ...

... and it hasn't disappointed - a *really powerful* collection of poems about heartbreak, intimacy and love.

Here's some verse from within:


Falling asleep, feeling you falling asleep

So much in a day
and each is
prelude, body, encore

Victor of the last
and victim to
the next

So much left to do
but when I close
the day with you

It's the closest
I have ever come
to rest
