In recognition of Poetry Month, and to celebrate our treasure trove of Orcas Island poets, Orcas Issues is pleased and honored to offer daily poetry during April.
LOOKING UP
by Carla Stanley
Seven fingers hold a wingless bird
profile silent there are east north west south heads going nowhere
a flowered hair woman nestles a child with eyes in its cheeks
steam punk tomato rides a surfed wave waterlessly
and Venus de Milo missing her torso wonders.
i love this; the mystery, the images, the sounds.
