Absence
the absence
revealed
eventually
the shipwreck on the dry seabed
or
like the thirsty lake
driven back by drought
the remains of her were there ~
naked and vulnerable.
She had tip-toed between the sleeping dogs,
fearful of waking their
unquiet spirits;
the knowledge
there was no mirror for her small soul.

Siobhan Cawson-Mooney is our current Poet-in-Residence. Every now and then we find a voice that sings to us. Those voices that show us something new - voices from out there that somehow resonate deeply. Voices we just 'get'. When that happens we graciously ask that they join us for a time. To live and dream along with us.
We're constantly on the look out for new artists, creatives and initiatives to feature in TheNeverZine - so if you are, or know someone who is going their own way and doing their own thing on their own terms and would be a good fit to feature please smash that button below and get in contact. By talking to each other, and sharing our journeys, ideas and insights on creativity, art, mental health and resilience we can all create, share and thrive together. Nice thought that.
