Potosi

Potosi by Pauline Stainer Prizewinner The TLS Poems on the Underground Poetry Competition ' The moon falls like a metaphysician on a silver city so distressed a metal - even the horses shod with silver in the freezing streets wagons, blue with graffiti under the spoil-tips, and at first light mountain foxes, red as cinnabar, moving against the flow between the silver-bearing lodes, the upland snow. ' Pauline Stainer PrizewinnerThe TLS Poems on the Underground Poetry Comptetition
