5: Then Gently, gently, with a voluntary kindness, the hand does the work because the world needs to be touched. There is a button, and there is a shoulder, and there is a darkness, and there is something on the other side. Darkness like a shadow thrown across a field, pulled with one hand and thrown with the other, boats in the river, birds in flight. The birds, dark birds, they fly from his hand to land... elsewhere. So many darknesses thrown into the future. Someone else's problem. The garden is covered in snow. Dark coats falling out of the sky.

Gorgeous!! Can't wait to read!

A Calendar of Hares Anna Crowe for Valerie Gillies 1. At the raw end of winter the mountain is half snow, half dun grass. Only when snow moves does it become a hare. 2. If you can catch a hare and look into its eye, you will see the whole world. 3. That day in March watching two hares boxing at the field’s edge, she felt the child quicken. 4. It is certain Midas never saw a hare or he would not have lusted after gold. 5. When the buzzard wheels like a slow kite overhead the hare pays out the string. 6. The man who tells you he has thought of everything has forgotten the hare. 7. The hare’s form, warm yet empty. Stumbling upon it, he felt his heart lurch and race beneath his ribs. 8. Beset by fears, she became the hare who hears the mowers’ voices growing louder. 9. Light as the moon’s path over the sea, the run of the hare over the land. 10. The birchwood a dapple of fallen gold: a carved hare lies in a Pictish hoard. 11. Waking to the cry of a hare she ran and found the child sleeping. 12. November stiffens into December: hare and grass have grown a thick coat of frost.

At the raw end of winter
the mountain is half snow, half
dun grass. Only when snow
moves does it become a hare…
