I feel myself sinking into the bed
my breathing is deep, quiet, rhythmic
although thoughts keep coming in
I let them wash past me, wash over me
all I have to do is keep breathing

Under the Waves: A Rengay with Cara Holamn
Under the Waves
by Cara Holman & Kirsten Cliff
searching for
an unbroken sand dollar
low-tide beach
kids dolphin dive
under the waves
message in a bottle
the wind steals
my words away
spaghetti western
the bandit rides out
toward the sunset
playing pirates
we divvy up the
loot
forgotten castle
the first touch
of this foreign sea
This fun rengay was written for Aubrie Cox's latest Yay Words! Project "Sea Bandits". You can download your own copy of this great new collection of haiku, tanka, haibun, haiga and other short form poetry here. My thanks to Aubrie for the inspiration, and to Cara for exploring the themes with me via rengay. Enjoy! :)
