Here's my poem which was runner up at the RS Thomas poetry festival, 2022:
In response to Countering, RS Thomas
Calling Time on Love
Now the clock has put a full
Stop on your sentence, I am
Deaf to poetry. A castaway,
No hand takes mine. I
Heave at the hour hand, to counter-
turn it fifty years but it is stuck
at the point of your departing.
It’s I must change time: face
Forward, count the dead hours
Without you; the shipwreck
I am, the proof love has
No end on this isle, even now
You’re in so distant a land, I can
No longer read your face.
Jennifer Burkinshaw
