“day off” and “storm wash”
– Poetry by KL Johnston –
Featured in issue 15 of Dreamers Magazine and winner of our 2023 Haiku Contest!
day off
this book, some bug spray
comfortable bench in the shade
worlds overlapping
storm wash
new light reflecting
on ebb tide, storm wrack, pale foam
peace washing ashore
