[Poem-a-Week] [currency of words] by Edward L. Canavan

Our apologies for the delay in our newsletter. We have switched over from MailChimp to Substack. Enjoy our revamped Poem-a-Week!

poetry is survival

embedded in the bones

the muscle memory
of tending empty gardens
and learning to make do
with next to nothing

thriving in the dark fields
of loneliness and lost soul
finding endless new ways
to feel alive

in the shadow
of every dying
day.
