Writing and Photography
Two Poems by Anca Hariton, published in the Santa Barbara Review
Morning edition
(everyone reads the newspaper in the train)
I read the newspaper in the sky...
small font clouds over the east, bold evergreens at the foothills,
no traffic delays over the ocean, birds commute safely south.
Snails had their due dew shower, trees washed their hair loose,
grass is betting again to beat winter green this year.
I follow the morning edition on the vast screen above, the prompt went off, where was I?
Oh, here, the wind plans to re-marry the plains, but the horizon opposes it...
I watch the gathering news sweeping the sky silk smooth, ready for a new day
to raise sail
out of its blue.
left right
My hands want to write at the same time...
the left to tell the right
...and viceversa...
atoms stars
love outside in, love inside out,
inhabit outhabit
the earth the sky
and orbit and orbit
together, together
each soul
with a two-fold song
