Harm By Dawn Mclachlan I didn't recognise these wounds Their depth deep Their cause subtle But years later Tattooist ink replacing The lace of silvered lines I remembered ruby jewels Worn in secret And thought of you

The Look By Dawn Mclachlan I know it now as I knew it then the look that turned pleas into pebbles that gathered on my tongue and in my throat Muted by such cold stones pressed home with the glare of othering my words remained unsaid But here closeted in a space beyond sight they hung like winter coats waiting for the right season concealing the way beyond revealing another world

A poetry book entitled “June Somewhere” by Dawn Mclachlan is resting on a painting. The painting is a deep blue sky and sea and the cover of the book matches the painting.

Sidings A haiku set by Dawn McLachlan In the grey city Hemmed in by rivers of steel Beneath concrete cliffs An island of green In the whorls of the railway Pressed in by fencing There, poppies still grow And foxgloves reach for the light Buttercups glow gold Inch by steady inch Bindweed stretches out tendrils Disguising chain link Bright swathes of daisies Buffeted by train slipstream Shimmer in twilight Moonlight silvers rails As a fox cuts through shadows Like a rusting knife Night trains rumble on In darkness, sidings unseen But vibrant with life This small patch of dirt This haven. This green life bridge Unkempt, not unloved ©️ Dawn McLachlan

We Flowed Like Water

We Flowed Like Water A Haiku set by Dawn McLachlan Green shoots greet the sun Rivers full of light and life We walked with such hope High summer clouds passed Bruising the hills with shadows Your hand still in mine The water grows cold Autumn nights are drawing in Willow dipped in frost Winter dark brought stars A spiralled arc high above Brittle sea like ice Miles flowed between us And lifetimes more of goodbyes Sorrow rinsed to smiles The past is distant But sand is still in my shoes My feet long since dry ©️Dawn McLachlan Image shows this poem next to a splash of water

With the recent rains in Wisconsin, this week's Friday Poem had to be about water. May Wendell Berry's poem "Water" slake your thirst.
