Grateful to have a poem from LOSSLAND @blacklawrence.bsky.social in the new, absolutely stacked issue of @haydensferryreview.bsky.social—the cover art matches it perfectly!
![Text of poem:
[REFLECTED IN THIS]
Reflected in this
stream, your face
is shattered and
then remade, but
the current rushes
on. Yes, minnows
hover, crayfish lift
claws below, but
such shimmering
light tires the eyes.
Memories must be
themselves only—
a TB-vaccine scar
dances on your
shoulder as you
slather oysters in
chipotle butter,
and I open wine,
the years rolling
over us like fog.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4xqvujo4p3foyoromyembzm2/bafkreic44lpmetl5tbpipgvyd6v6kvhrzx7mvcw3z74dhmbhanm7hnvkq4)
