This a beautiful poem by Alice Huntley, sensuous and evocative!
inksweatandtears.co.uk Ink Sweat & Tears @inksweatandtears.co.uk · 6d
Alice Huntley's 'The tenderness of beans' is an intimate and sensual reflection on shelling beans from a pod, which evokes a tenderness usually reserved for infants.

Read it here: inksweatandtears.co.uk/alice-huntle...

an onion sprouts from its net
