Back before this round of unwell stole my tongue, I was frankly undone by The Beaver Mag giving all 4 poems in my submission a yes.
More in bits that they're real today, when I barely am.
Each of them, I guess, is about how we could. We could fix all of it.
This one is specially... now.
Utter gratitude to the editors & anyone who reads a word of any of them. Extra 💙 to Kim Addonizio for her poem, that the first of mine is 'after', so-quoted to suffering friends.

Sail east now poet, land receded.
Lantern find you in the dark, as I'm hoping like hell it finds me. Maybe we'll both see it there on the rim.
(Love to everyone I still haven't answered. Very unwell, no words work. Hug your life so tight ok?)
Our favourite gift in this fairytale box of nevereending thoughtfulness? The precious crane, with the context of your letter. We hold it as the treasure it is and the freely shared piece of your journey - it, like you and your awa, breathes and beats and flows. And your poem..
