SWWIM sustains and celebrates women poets by connecting creatives across generations and by curating a living archive of contemporary poetry, while solidifying Miami as a nexus for the literary arts.

Wedding by Kathleen Mitchell-Askar

SWWIM Every Day

fired up on old bones

our motor roar

only sound

in the cold

unstruck bell of winter

below something blue

 

early morning

newly we

ride between

sedimented

canyon walls

time stacked up in limestone

we borrow out

I will only ever see your face

in old light

and as it appeared eight minutes ago

Kathleen Mitchell-Askar lives, works, and writes just outside Cleveland. Her work has appeared in DIAGRAM.
