A Poem for you, while you’re waiting for the train to Iceland
A blueberry picking kind of love
with wild roots, tender stems
and iridescent green leaves outshining the moon
and several bright stars, too.
A pink flower to keep you company
as you continue to feel as deeply as you always do,
forever and despite.
Poem shortlisted for MONO Poetry Prize 2023
