Gerard Rochford’s poem for May
On a snowman’s belly,
seen before only in books,
Slindile draws a map of the world:
Here’s New York and Africa is there,
where everyone is dying – fathers, mothers,
brothers, sisters, friends.
Her brown eyes are lost
in the past of her mother’s smile.
Gerard lives in Aberdeen. He is the Scottish Review’s Makar and contributes a poem each month. Publications include: ‘Failing Light’ and ‘Of Love
and Water’
