About Text Size: larger | normal | smaller
Likestarlings is a place for talking in poems and pictures. We pair poets with poets and photographers with photographers. Each pair produces a sequence of new works responding in turn to one another. Our palaver blog goes beyond poetry and photography to discuss collaboration in theory and in practice in a wide range of places. Please take a look, and feel free to add comments, opinions and suggestions here. Read poems here, look at photographs here.
 

On the wall

 

I have been trailing you across city

trying to see you at work

above doors, tunnelled walk ways

 

in white galleries they make me stand back

away

intimidate me with entirety, long to lean in

lick the whips of paint

 

but you I shadow

like a dial following sun

pressing my palm against 

single bricks you leave warm

with your name
