Issue 6 – September 2026 – Tanka Doha 2
letters to Mother
from across the globe
by those who visited home . . .
my brother hands me
a manila envelope
reading papery pages
in gentle blue cursive
Delhi in the sixties
how migrating birds find
cheer in a foreign land
Rupa Anand, India
mother’s terrarium
crowded with light-starved plants
on my honeymoon
I gather pebbles and shells
against her dying
unintended
the baby grows
clapping
starfish hands
toward the water
Jo McInerney, Australia
