Words for Empty and Words for Full

My sister’s out of work and my brother’s
out of work and my other brother’s
out of work, these are facts available
over the phone or in person, just as now,
three clouds travel north, one
above another, smallish, amoeba shaped,
and the bottom cloud just died,
and the top two have joined forces
and left me to fend for myself
under a new sky.

Full Hearts And Empty Bellies

It was only 80 years ago, but by our standards, Winifred Foley was brought up in unthinkable deprivation, with no gas, electricity or running water and never enough to eat. Her account of growing up in the Forest of Dean inspired the acclaimed TV drama Abide With Me and is being republished.
Here, in the first part of our captivating serialisation, she recalls how, despite the unremitting poverty, hers was the happiest of childhoods - warm, secure and filled with overwhelming love.

Feeling interpretation by words

Full Heart, Empty Arms

by Valerie Jochum

Thoughts of you illuminate my spirit;

Never a flicker of flame, but with

Arching bolts which strike with a force

That disturbs my equilibrium.

My mind races as waves of passion flush over

My pale skin, causing me to gaze upon visions

Of impossible romantic possibilities.

Pathetic is this woman who anticipates the

True rhythm of love, with a man she will never hold.

My imagined discourse of thoughts leave me suffering,

As my lips quiver with the words I shall never speak

to his: "I have loved you more than anybody in this world."
