A fly, heavy as a small stone travels across the kitchen, catches light on its fretted wings as the clouds begin to spill warm rain from their dull bellies and all the shoes in the house are still all the shoes are still.
Carol Ann Duffy - she's great, yes, but (very minor point) I thought she was Scottish? Or was she just born here? Not that this makes any difference really.
I probably should say a 'british' vein running through her work... the pub names, counties and Dutch elm are not exclusively english!! Whether or no she's Scottish (tho I didn't know she was - Jackie Kay is)
