Poetry: Periwinkle Gardens

By: Jasmine Nihmey Vasdi


Palm curtains stroking your nose

as you weave through the sandy soil

holding together memories of

southern sunshine

and the moment of periwinkle wash

when the ocean and sky blend

revealing fishing boat horizons

winking to their loved ones

rocking to the low hums

of the fish below
