Poem Of The Week

by Kona Macphee

After my first book came out, I spent a long time not writing. It's definitely overrated. Now I've got this blog. So far, more fun.

The gift

Sometimes the recompense arrives
so far ahead of what you’ll give
that you will fail to recognise
the reciprocity, the love

that circles in the universe:
this life a grace advanced, its knack
to meet requital with its cause -
the offering up, the giving back.
