"Flowers blooming, new buds on trees, sprouts coming up through the dead leaves left from the fall."

chasing patterns
faces in trees
bees facing me

I see abundance
emerge in ripples
blossoms paint

circles on wet
concrete

Web of Words

Poetry is elegant
precious and beautiful
like silk

Like a spider spinning
a web together

my pen is my spinneret
words coming together
like adhesive glues

and once read some
become entangled
Captured by my
word architectury
that’s stronger than steel

Relics by Rachel Hertzberg Sebastian, you are with me again, lodging in the cool warrens of my mind. I heard your voice in the mouth of a classmate who leaned over and whispered, Do you see them? Three deer, sapling legs fli…

“the quiet unfolding/ around your shoulders/
like a shawl…” Dorianne Laux

TANKA
Thrust into springtime
waking to the waking world,
shrugging off my shawl,
unwilling to clothe myself
in anything but wonder.

TANKA FOR ONE WHO DIED
Tomorrow cancelled,
dreams die before given form,
potentials remain
unfulfilled, earth’s airports close —
no flights. Heaven’s gate opens.

TANKA
After the strip tease
of autumn, cold, snow, ice, sleet,
(sinking deep into
their roots) trees’ hibernation
ends, life returns to limbs – Spring!

Today the trees sing —
warming sun, caressing breeze.
Hallelujah! Spring!

at the counter

standing slant
and late

the light
hovering the sink
still on

i take an orange

find the edge
with a thumb

press

the skin gives way
as it does

lifts clean

i pull it back
in strips
set them aside

for a moment
it looks like
clean separation

like it were possible
to remove
the after

but the oil
breaks
against my fingers

the smell
takes
the room

i keep trying
until the fruit
is bare

still your smell
is there

on my hands
in the air

everywhere

After being diagnosed with an eye disease...

TANKA
My eyes, you’ve shown me
faces I’ve loved, read for me,
gloried in nature
and art’s colorful displays,
helped me navigate my world.

I do remember,
When you were gasping for air,
Blue on your features—
Cacophony in breathing....
Dragged you to the hospital

(and then I begged for the first time to gods unknown to keep you alive.)

                                        jade dragon
                                frozen in the middle air
                                                and in the middle of a rictus,
                                                                         humourless,
                                                                is stiffened in off-season rigor,
                                                        promised riches nowhere to be seen.

                        the sand around it’s rumpled
                                by a thousand footprints,
            but its gaze is fixed inflexibly ahead.

                                behind it
            helter skelter, wheel, and roundabout,
                                       still brightly hued though faded
                                                  in the winter sun,
                    stand in the selfsame
              state of hibernation,
        statues of their lively summer selves.

jade dragon frozen in the middle air and in the middle of a rictus, humourless, is stiffened in off-season rigor, promised riches nowhere to be seen. the sand around it’s rumpled by a thousand footprints, but its gaze is fixed inflexibly ahead. behind it helter skelter, wheel, and roundabout, still brightly hued though faded in the winter sun, stand in the selfsame state of hibernation, statues of their lively summer selves.
