I was given a challenge by @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social to write a poem that includes cats and burping stars. So here's one for #FragmentsFriday @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social
In a random little village in Kent there is an unassuming church, and all 12 of its stained glass windows were designed and painted by the illustrious Marc Chagall.
Thanks, as always, for this micro space in the shape of #FragmentsFriday, @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social
