across the span of hands
electricity
my palms press into yours
love leaps like a tattoo
your name
inked on my fingers
distant voices
Huge congratulations to Kelly and thanks to the huge amount of entries that we received from poets across Australia. Thanks to our judges too who had the tough job of narrowing it down to this poem.
