Tom Stuckey




how salt is made


when you’re driving fast for too long

the world starts to go in to reverse

and finally arrives

at nostalgia


and at the end of the road

are fields with

water channelled

and dammed

into pools

lots of pools

like a chess board


where they work

with long rakes

in the sun

day after day


for years


until the wounds on their

hands no longer

feel

the sting



About the Author: Tom is a poet from Devon in the UK and has been published in Punk Noir, Bristol Noir and A Thin Slice of Anxiety.
