20 - size matters


an empty pocket
lo(o)se change
mixing in
a gutter
previously spent
on clean water
 

Rule Britannia
for only 20p, a
copy of a queen

dwarfed by
monarch Windsor
monarch butterfly



but
in time the backwidens
the claws
harden
in time
an island grows
up from a stone.



(Notes: After working with some fantastic poets at Loughborough this year, I'm playing around with shape and other visual elements in poetry.)
