Parallel Poems

Collaborative Poems

Written by Clayton Beach & Stephen Bailey on 26 January 2019.

before the siren

autumn sunset
before the siren
the flash of lights

deeper into night
a bedside vigil

leg twitches
the ragged snores
of an old hound

a breath of wind escapes
the sanctuary of light


Clayton Beach / Stephen Bailey
