Poet in Residence - Exmouth Museum and Heritage Centre registered charity 1216717

We have been hosting a Poet in Residence at the Museum over the Summer. This is part of her contribution: -

Over and again like a cat’s cradle

weaving banks of sighs, plotting days in its wake,

Starcross ferry draws figures of eights between quays -

 

as for ebb and flow, it out-gears their magnet pull.

carrying land-legs exhaled to each side, this ferry glides

through generations down tides, and hands throw

slipknots over a thousand years' passage.
