Wayne Reid has just completed his first year at Hagley Writers’ Institute.
He has been involved with health care for over twenty-five years; firstly as a professional exotic animal handler, then the pharmaceutical industry, latterly with Pegasus Health (Charitable) Ltd.
One of his passions is communication – in all its forms. His current role allows him a unique insight into the health needs of the many different migrant and refugee cultures in Canterbury.
Your touch
Wayne Reid 2014
Your touch
Falls feather-like
on my arm
Your head already turns away,
mind conscious of its surroundings,
heat unconscious of its impact.
Sight is felt
through that touch.
Brief as it is.
