Hot Pot Magazine

By Treasa Nealon

we went chasing a comet
down the black country roads
taking tight turns
narrowly avoiding ditches
until we came to the end
of rolling grey tarmac
runners stuffed with socks
bare toes clenching the sand
damp and unyielding
then the shock of it
the scatter of sharp shards
from the sea blessing us

we come home
longing
