Two Women on the Shore Don't let her white dress fool you, in her mind; in her body she burns just witness the flaming red hair feet on green grass – fertile ready to dive in save for the anchor, that black shadow - always that shadow - mother, grandma, society, norms - the time is 1898, Norway - these are shackles that won't set her free maybe, just maybe (let us hope) it is herself stepping out of self no longer blue but ready to be blue - standing at the edge, on edge willing to, wanting to, ready to dive in. Dan Franch Originally from Chicago, Dan now lives in the country of Estonia. He was a newspaper columnist in Luxembourg, a co-cartoonist in Luxembourg, and has published articles and poetry in a number of online magazines. He has had a variety of experiences through traveling and living abroad, now doing the best to settle down in the homeland of his wife and kids.
