And here you come, with a cup of tea
Wreathed in steam.
The blood jet is poetry,
There is no stopping it.
You hand me two children, two roses.
The very first Sylvia Plath poem that I read was "Kindness",

I believe that the criteria for awarding artist exemption and BIA are fairer than the arts council.
It is based on cultural merit in the tax system and that extends into the BIA.
