Poetry Contest winner: Part 2
For the random winner of the poetry contest, congratulations to shakir hasnain for your poem Jeweller.
Jeweller
he is a master of procurement
an author of delivery
he promises to the display window
a stone from the sunken city
set in the reflection
of the galaxy
he sold light years away
to some eccentric patch of the sky
Thanks to all of you who submitted a to our poetry contest. Stay tuned in the future for more different contests and events in the future.

To a cormorant on a rock
For all I know, you’re still there
hung out to dry like a black swimsuit
and doing a decent impression
of the Angel of the North.
If there’s a word for your stillness;
your willingness to hang motionless
in the face of the fidgeting sea
and unsettled clouds, I don’t know it;
it’s as if you’ve grown out of the rock
or are waiting to dissolve back into it;
you’re offering your wing feathers
to the giant breathing of sea and air
as if immobility is a gift.
It’s not for me to understand you;
there are no conclusions
you want me to draw from watching you.
I saw you on a rock in the sea
hanging your wings out to dry
that’s all.
