In honour of poetry month we'll be bringing you weekly excerpts of some of our favourite poetry books. The first entry comes from Particles by Michael Penny.
Your body absorbs a blow
makes a bruise
and the technicolour skin effect of it all.
How does it know it must heal?
The body is wiser than the brain
you carry to carry consciousness.
That other blow-
how small you are in the vastness of the ill-understood
-bruises permanently.
Or as permanently as you're going
to get, another ouch!
Your body goes on, at least for now.
Learn more about Particles.
