the egg

Hope and Honey
This is a new poem-song responding to ‘the elephant’ by Adelaide Ivánova. Here Cuttle, a poet and musician, brings together visuals and music so make sure to turn up the sound on your device! The title comes from the final lines of Ivánova's poem: "and small bones are not made of honey /they are just calcium /nothing else".
