PHILOMELA

Philomela

STITCH after stitch the shape became clear,
And her memory more configured;
In bitter undergrowth appeared
Philomela
(And her defiler)
- - - she shivered.

Out of the window,
A nightingale
Trilled truth unveiled.

Original poem, hand set in 24pt Gloucester and letterpress printed on 100% cotton paper.
