I'm pleased and honored to have my poem "Archeologist's Note" published in the Maya's Micros section of Closed Eye Open, an online literary journal. It is the lead poem in my poetry chapbook, Sisters in Time, forthcoming from Finishing Line Press in June 2026. The chapbook is inspired by my experience unearthing a pagan burial in a fourth-century, Roman-era cemetery, while I worked on an archeological dig in Winchester, England, during the sumnmer of 1973. Here is the poem, a haiku:
Archeologist's Note
Chockfull of chalk chunks
and flint, Winchester's soil
is bones' camouflage.
