Lost Civilisation 🧜♀️🧜♂️🐋
barnacles
on carved
ancient throne
spiral stairs
down the dark surf
bioluminescent
beings
pulled
the moon low
mermaids
sharing their songs
diving beneath
the waves
finding names
history forgot
to record
before
fish stopped talking
when
whales conversed with trees
time
to remember them all

The Edge of the Map
Christina Chin and Marjorie Pezzoli
🗺📜The Edge of the Map with Paul Callus.
old road signs
strangled by moss
and creeping roots
irretrievable memories
swallowed by time
.
rusted iron fence
buried deep
in wild brambles
marking the bottomless pit
where the earth was flat
.
stepping over
the threshold whispers
in a dead language
unwrapping infidelity’s
traumatic layers
.

Our Best Haiga, Lavana Kray Ed.
Prompt is Coquetry—
coquetry—
first day of school
eyeing little moira
coquetry—
a spaghetti stap slips
off shoulder
coquetry—
Samhain night a glance
through drifting leaf fades

Hallowe'en
dental hazard
the vampire broke
a plastic fang
couldn’t check in the mirror
now flies to the dollar store
