So pleased that my poem, “Time and Tide,” was published in Polar Starlight Magazine on February 24, 2024.
Here’s the lovely cover by Swati Chavda:
The issue is free to read as a downloadable pdf at the above link. It’s a great issue. They all are.
Much gratitude to Graeme Cameron and Rhea Rose for their continued dedication to promoting Canadian speculative poetry.
Time and Tide
Time passes and the tide of age
creeps, laps against the shore of my body,
higher every day. Each decade means
sickness lingers, injury is slow to heal.
Wrinkles, scars become badges of honour, as I
moonlike, seek to change the tide, make it
retreat, reverse the flow of time without
destroying the universe.
Thank you, Mona!
Congratulations! Lovely poem.
