1pm-2pm

Book launch and reading, 17 October, Lampeter

Sue Moules will be launching her latest collection The Moth Box at the Mustard Seed Cafe, College Road, Lampeter, at 6pm on 17 October.

All welcome.

The Moth Box, 

We have caught the night. 

It sleeps in here,

pulled in by light.

We open it in day,

take out the shapes

and name them.

Scorched Wing, Tussock,

White Ermine, Marbled Coronet, 

Green Carpet, Phoenix.

We lift them out,

look at them through hand lenses, 

marvel at their intricacy.

We leave them in the shade

to sleep out,

they merge into garden.

Later, they will flap in quick quivers,

heat their delicate tiled wings,

soar into the dark.

 Message from Sue: Thank you RED HERON for coming to my book launch last night.
