Chasms - a poetry collection by Carmella de Keyser. Reflections - a poem within, an early version of this poem first appeared in Authora Australis magazine.
REFLECTIONS-a poem I wrote based upon a memory of facing my grandmother while she was steeped in sunlight & I was drenched in shade. Different borders between my grandmother & I, but we bridged the gap well.🩶
