A poem by @briangyamfi.bsky.social for #smallPoemSunday from WHAT GOD IN THE KINGDOM OF BASTARDS (@upittpress.bsky.social, 2025). Thank you, @susanlleary.bsky.social, for posting about this fantastic collection! ✨💫✨ @tomsnarsky.bsky.social

A black and white photographic image of a dense copse of trees seemingly in winter suspended at the bottom of the white cover, island-like. The title along the very top and the author at the very bottom, below the trees. The book rests on a wooden surface.

Water Bearer

The hurricane speaks
with a tree branch in
its teeth and a fishing
boat in its throat.

Yes, I cry out.

And like a child running
after his father

I follow.

“Dice rolling…sound like a miniature version of fate, and for a few hours I’m not a poet revising a line; I’m a half-elf mapping stars or a bard trying to charm the gods,” writes @briangyamfi.bsky.social, author of What God in the Kingdom of Bastards (@upittpress.bsky.social). at.pw.org/WRGyamfi
