KALYNA TEMERTEY-CANTA

Delighted To Disturb

Puddles along a dirt road

lay still, tranquil

collect reflections

of a dimming sky

The revolving tire

crashes

slices

delighted to disturb

the sublime

ripples on water

form a momentary smile

Calling Out

It’s 11:45 am on a random day

and time is not an issue to the land

unless we speak in seasons

like this Tuscan winter

that clings to my heel

but smells clean

as I walk to breathe

and breathe to walk

over fallow fields

where the dog takes a pheasant by surprise

and a cargo jet hangs low in the sky

and the vine with its dry

throat of bark

is silent

which makes me wonder

what is not being said

whose voice is not being heard

on the 18th day of December 2018?

Ecsta-Sea

Small hands make playful waves

on your surface

while we dive into your  arms

part the liquid flesh

of your body

toying with

the ever deeper

reaching always further

looking for the unchartered—

searching for hidden pleasures

We swim, rolling in ecstasy

the ocean voice mounts

in waves of intensity

while your water holds our skin

all of this together.
