Poetry Showcase by Lorna Wood

Three Poems About the Grand Canyon

At the Grand Canyon,
I went right up to the edge.
This couldn’t be real.

Those long lines
in the Grand Canyon rocks
are poems that refuse to speak to us.

When I fell at the Grand Canyon,
the ancient rock wrote a fracture on my wrist.
I’m still a blip—but now, acknowledged.
