This is the second in the Threads of Friendship series, you can read the words from the piece below.
“You appeared at my front door with Anita from our road.
I felt a bit shy, I did want to be friends.
It’s always close to you, the magic of the outside.
Saviour and champion of hedgehogs, hedgewitch,
You set up our woman’s group, only four of us remain, it is precious: a Zoom coven now where I can freely listen closely and rest in myself.
Your paintings appeared, the dogs, a birch tree by the stairs, a woman in red in different guises and spaces.
You remind me to remember the wild side of myself.
The tiger on your spine, the dragon on your arm, familiars resting lightly but alert. Your arm lightens me too”.
