Resurrection in Montage
Resurrection in Montage
Dominic Palmer
Star pulls planets into orbit
iron filings shape around a magnet
busker gathers street in womb of sound
fishing boats drag full net to ground
Flagstones burst with dandelion gold
pyroclast ruptures ancient cold
pearl diver surfaces with haul
father scoops up daughter after fall
Timelapse of sunrise, dawn from space,
portrait artist, blueprint, cityscape,
paraglider, April, desert rain,
heart beats again, again, again
Dominic Palmer
Teacher, Writer, & Musician
Dominic grew up near Oxford and studied in Cambridge. He now lives in Manchester and works as a teacher and church musician, having taught in a high school for several years. Dominic and his wife have recently become parents for the first time, which means he is somewhat sleep-deprived but full of wonder.
