New Poems in Kestrel

 Grateful to have three poems included in the new issue of Kestrel.

Here's one of them:

 

Silk Road

 

In the burnished tree

what cold branches

now stare down

and are affixed

with the last of snow

for winter’s just a metaphor

for the kind of loss

we figure on—

forgive me,

friends.

New Poems on One Art

I'm happy to have new poems from my manuscript, Lately, up on Mark Danowsky's journal, One Art. 
 
Here's one of them:
 

Small Things

get to you
wherever you are you are
whether or not you leave
you leave—
this flowering triangle
will come to nothing
if you’re not steadfast
or true. Be the wind
in sail. All precious
metals.

 
 If you're so inclined, please like, comment, and share.

And stay well, everyone.

Much love,
Ethel

New Poem


Everywhere We Went

that summer there was ice-cream—
blueberry with butter cookie
raspberry with chocolate crumb—
while bombs kept falling
while streets drizzled with blood
someone had colluded
someone had ordered it so
while we were happy
as happy as we could be
given the unpredictable temperatures
given our need to be free.


Forthcoming in Welcome to the Resistance: Poetry as Protest, from Stockton University Press, edited by Ona Gritz and Taylor Carmen Savatz
