Started off my 1st edition collection with the works of Sylvia Plath, Dylan Thomas and Dom Moraes. What a buzz! We are going to need a bigger bookcase soon @katie_rose_cook 😁 - - - #bookstagram #1stedition #sylviaplath #dylanthomas #dommoraes #literature #poetry #poetsofinstagram #vintage #rare #hobby #books #bookcollection #bookcollecting

Smear out the last star. No lights from the islands Or hills. In the great square The prolonged vowel of silence Makes itself plainly heard Round the ghost of a headland Clouds, leaves, shreds of bird Eddy, hindering the wind. No vigils left to keep. No enemies left to slaughter. The rough roofs of the slopes, Loosely thatched with splayed water, Only shelter microliths and fossils. Unwatched, the rainbows build On the architraves of hills. No wounds left to be healed. Nobody left to be beautiful. No polyp admiral to sip Blood and whiskey from a skull While fingering his warships. Terrible relics, by tiderace Untouched, the stromalites breathe. Bubbles plop on the surface, Disturbing the balance of death. No sound would be heard if So much silence was not heard. Clouds scuff like sheep on the cliff. The echoes of stones are restored. No longer any foreshore Or any abyss, this World only held together By its variety of absences.
