Self-portrait as Southern Resident Orca

Martha Silano

For everybody I’m speechless! Damn it, I gotta go get my camera!
For this must be the happiest pod.
For you can hear them saying There she goes again. Big one! Wow!
For you can hear them clapping, laughing.
For I swim through the research proving there is no difference in the lifespan of being born at Sea World or in the wild. . . .

The River Remembers

January Gill O’Neil

Here the water is silt-brown, / stretches mile-wide, / flat as a washed-out conveyor belt, / an unhemmed rumble strip.
