a ragged curl
of birch bark fluttering
in the sun
even our smallest wounds
become limned with light
oh, my friend
I thought I heard an owl
call your name
on the night you flew
off the face of the earth
sunburnt children
holding conch shells
against their ears
the susurrous ocean
calling them home
Welcome to this archive of my published poetry, photography and art. Thank you for allowing me to share my creative passions with you, and for taking the time to visit. Please be kind, and do not copy any of the content on this site without permission and attribution. All rights reserved © Debbie Strange. I unfold my origami self / and swim into a lake of fire / washing my hair in ashes / the crane-legged words / of a thousand burning poems.
