Happy National Poetry Day to all those who celebrate.
This year’s theme is ‘play’ so here’s a poem which plays with some letters. It’s called ‘The Problem of Writing Poems in the Shape of Deciduous Trees’.

Yuval-Davis was right about that weary feeling towards "belonging" when we stop taking it for granted. Especially as an immigrant in today's political weather.
