POEM 375: "The Unworn" by Aardhra Chandran (@aardhramc.bsky.social) "The pleats are iron teeth. They close around her hips. Six yards of starched cotton draw her upright— a coffin of cloth, stiff with hair oil, sour with old sweat." stonecirclereview.com/the-unworn/ #Poem #Poetry #NewPoem

What is silence’s only word? Gifts by @leepottspoet.bsky.social in the new anthology, Lim[i]nal from @tinywrenlit.bsky.social edited by @jenniferabrowne.bsky.social and Dana Knott #smallpoemsunday @tomsnarsky.bsky.social
Gifts

You live beside the ghost
of an ocean. An ocean no longer 
able to pursue all its endless acts 
of erasure. At high tide, 
the silence breaks against your door
to offer you its only word.

Will you cast a line and bring 
up a gift I can take with me?
Gently. Gently. Fragile mouths 
tear easily from the hook 
and what you brought out 
might escape back to the depths.
