Thom Gunn - The Hug

It was your birthday, we had drunk and dined

Half of the night with our old friend

Who'd showed us in the end

To a bed I reached in one drunk stride.

Already I lay snug,

And drowsy with the wine dozed on one side.

I dozed, I slept. My sleep broke on a hug,

Suddenly, from behind,

In which the full lengths of our bodies pressed:

Your instep to my heel,

My shoulder-blades against your chest.

It was not sex, but I could feel

The whole strength of your body set,

Or braced, to mine,

And...

And Brutus is an honourable man.

To mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, we asked leading actors to perform key speeches from his plays. Here, Damian Lewis performs Antony’s lines from act III, scene 2 of Julius Caesar. Antony has been granted permission to speak at Caesar’s funeral so long as he does not implicate the conspirators in his death, but he skilfully turns the crowd against them

ANOHNI - Hopelessness

How did I become
the mother of this son?
The face and mind
and hands of virulence?

I, who curled in cave and moss
I, who gathered wood for fire
and tenderly embraced
How did I become a virus?

Hopelessness
I feel the hopelessness

I don’t care about me
I feel the animals and the trees
They got nowhere to go

I don’t care much about you
I don’t give a shit what happens to you
Now we blew it all away

Hopelessness
I feel the hopelessness

How did I become a virus?

I’ve been taking more than I deserve
Leaving nothing in...
