wilting. The blossoms—
flat, peach
as her palm..."

The ducks in this poem were witnessed at sunrise in Palatka which I was visiting for a poetry conference.

It's exciting to see them fly out into the world 🦆

From issue 23, read "The St. John’s River" by Christa Fairbrother @christafairbrother.bsky.social
From poem The St. John’s River by Christa Fairbrother: Ducks flew aloft in long lines, bullet trains rocketing to the next stop. Their reflection’s magnetism pushing, more than wings pulling, a hovering wind rush, a whistle, an explosive quack.

Cover of The Madison Review vol 52 n 1 with an illustration of a dancer riding a brown bear. The bear is fighting with a colorful bird. They're in a grassy field with many sunflowers. It's set at night with a duck in silhouette flying in front of the moon. Photo of the poem, Letter to a Pain that won't Leave.

Poems about bones - a sestina and a villanelle.
Since bones give our body structure, poetic forms seem a natural choice.
