“The forest is tarn dark and hollow.
The dream ends at a well. We stop and peer into the fall.”
Gold-Flecked Water is now in lit mag LIES/ISLE‘s 4 year anniversary issue The Desert!
Thank you so much to M. for including the prose poem in The Desert.
Happy 4th birthday, LIES/ISLE! May there be countless years to come!
Loved the last part: “From below the gold looked like sunlight on the water, like grace. Without anyone to admire and ache for it, the gold clumps and sinks and leaves the surface to reflect only the night and the murmuring trees.” Beautiful writing Berit =)
Thank you so much, Peter! 🙂 I’m so glad to hear you like it and the collection it is a part of. 🙂
