Second Light Live > > >
Cora Greenhill lives in Derbyshire and Crete, both of which greatly affect her work, which has been published for 20 years or so in poetry magazines and anthologies and in US journals. She now teaches creative dance and writing in UK and Crete.
I call out from the beach
where to meet again
as you brace yourself
on the restless board
harness
yourself to the mast
lean
in the pillow of the wind
swivel hover
and swerve away
skirting
the muddle of bathers
razoring
glass waves
to a violet haze
in the lee of Akrotiri
now at gull speed
your transparent sail
only a slit in the horizon
you’ve cut with a blade of light
tricks of the wind and sun
can lose you to me
but how my heart
kites
for you
now you’ve escaped
my gravity
