Les Wicks



Rime

A tonsure of frosted leaves
saline drench
then clench before release
autumn is failure, abysmal mix
of miser & mincing, it
owns the stage… doesn’t even linger
for the adulate applause of bitter winds.

Les Wicks has toured widely and seen publication across 15 countries in 9 languages. His 10th book of poetry is Barking Wings (PressPress, 2012).
