Beyond fault lines and the unbearable weight of the body the wish for wings to carry us home …

Autumn Noelle Hall, tanka prose editor for Ribbons, says tanka holds memory, emotion, people and place. Like her cabin in the Colorado mountains, it is home to husband, daughters, wild birds, waterfalls, an Australian shepherd (and the deer he trails), bears, mountain lions and their tracks through the snow. But tanka is also a form of reckoning and reconciliation; a way to truly see and make sense of the world. Much like her camera, tanka is Autumn?s lens on life.

terrific!
Upon reaching the deadend
better now to wait
than to give up
just to start later on
all over again
Very spiritual, Autumn. The contrast between the unbearable weight of the body and lightness of wings is effective.
