Free Flight

Sandra continues to view the earth from many perspectives. Her poetry reflects a diverse spectrum: appearing in literary journals, magazines, anthologies, newspapers, cafes, visual art, songs, radio, and in on-line journals. Her passion is haiku in its nature and human-nature contrasts that create enchanting elements. Sandra also facilitates poetry and art workshops, and continues to be part of the CORTEX — a multidisciplinary art project that links artists together to create new work. She created, coordinates, and hosts the Discovery Café in Edmonton, a philosophy café that also celebrates music and poetry. Haiku can be viewed on www.dailyhaiku.org, and she is poetically visible at www.edmontonpoetryfestival.com, poets across borders and cortex. Monday's poem was in part inspired by a poetry photo collaboration with Darlene Hildebrandt: www.herviewphotography.com.

Monday's Poem
		© 2008 Sandra Mooney Ellerbeck Free Flight My fingers, over your hard surface, touch the lines where your dry stones are tightly joined— Inca ashlar, without mortar—seemingly extraterrestrial. All the green spaces between you become my breaths as much as the cloudless sky, as my body without wings maneuvers on air, views you like a camera's eye zooming in, zooming out, and I know, my tour of you is unattainable through a tourist trip as I awaken with your impression still on me Machu Picchu, more than a lucid dream.
