Tea Bag Salmon Prayer
Here is an ancient one-- tender-tea-bag-tethered scale by scale-- curved and floating, resting now-- one dorsal fin frayed-- the eye, the mouth, the caudal fin-- the careful hand behind the delicate creation-- I would be assembled of such fragile finishings-- calm-- like tea bags gathered over time-- cherished, known, put to new use. Shirley Glubka Shirley Glubka is a retired psychotherapist, the author of three poetry collections, a mixed genre collection, and two novels.
