e​yes closed she spins​
playing an old game
drop your finger
somewhere
on the globe

someday
she will go to the spot
in the blue
where the vertical and horizontal
lines intersect

​t​o that spot she will float
after the ship
has gone down
taking with it her canary
and her grandmother’s luggage

Liz Goetz​ lives in Carlsbad and AltaDena CA, she has participated regulary in Caltech Red Door Poets workshops and Poets on Site, Pasadena. She loves to write, sing, play her fiddle, and hike the mountains and deserts.
