Poems On A Pole Episode 2 - Still Here by Matilda Leyser

Here is the next instalment of my self-prescribed medicine for the year- a poem on a pole per month. Mary Oliver started me off, but now I am writing my own so this month’s comes to you in a very different style to the last - more spoken word on the pole, than poem on a page.

I have another appointment back in the consultation room this coming Monday. Maybe I will show the doctor these poems as part of the conversation, and discover more about what the effects and side effects are of this particular medicine.

Thank you for following along and being an essential part of the medicine brew too.
