Postage stamp

Body: 

I missed Friday’s creative day, I had a Hospital visit to make for DH. Nothing more serious than day surgery, but he’s getting on a bit now so they kept him in overnight. I walked 9 k that day there and back. How about that!

Here’s Friday’s belated poem from a poet born a hundred years ago. A bit sad but waiting to hear from Ikam.

Postage Stamp
If you should ever have to
part from someone dear, tear
yourself away, be sure

the tear is where
the perforations are. Please,
please do not ever

recklessly sever, sheer
yourself from some one other
so that their stamp is torn

and you have part of their
living, bleeding
flesh at your side worn.

- William Hart-Smith

Beautiful.....like you!

A gem of a poem. I had to Google this poet. I guess he's not as well-known in my part of the world.......
