Whidbey Island Book Club



Safe in the rain shadow, bonds secured
Words launched into the high canopy
Rest adrift
Disperse

In the worn cafe, animated currents
Born of shared memories
Seek a shore

Still in the deep past, tangled here,
In nettle, elderberry, ocean spray
Whisperings with softened edges

Swinomish
Suquamish
Snohomish

We are here

In the mist, stories rising
in words,
in bondage,
in crossings.
