“forget the ink, the milk, the blood—
all was washed clean with the flood
we rose up from the falling waters
the fallen rain's own sons and daughters
and none of this, none of this matters.”
— from “Rain” by Don Paterson

Took me a while to get round to it, but I've been slowly reading it this year, and I thinks it's aces. I love her incantatory deluge-of-words-and-images style much more than I thought I would. And watching her perform in videos is mesmerising. I'm doubtless not saying anything that hasn't been said before, just #SharingTheJoy

Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean -
The one who has flung herself out of the grass,
The one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
Who is moving her jaws forward & back instead of up & down -
Who is gazing around with her enormous & complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms & thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, & floats away

I can start:
"Before I built a wall, I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out"
