haikuKATHA, Issue 13, November 2022

I wrote this poem just after my 60th birthday (end of September) and am delighted it was published yesterday in haikuKATHA. Warm thanks to the editorial team and congratulations to all the other poets featured in this issue.
Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday and to our friends in the US, a happy Thanksgiving too.
With love from Xenia xxx

Beautiful. Those lines on the stone remind me of Ursula K. LeGuin’s book Always Coming Home.
