Poem Contains text information about individual contributors to the anthology. Text Any textual data included in the document The loose softness of quiet, wingless shredded paper: Its ungraceful trail through the sky, around the ghosts of rusting leaves and the dark shapes that once were pines — The wet crunch, followed by a snap, as my thickly padded boot passes roughly through heavy clouds and frail wood — With sudden violence, each gentle whorl turning to whirlpool; each speck of inverted ink to thrashing curtain, light leaping off the brightly mirrored earth, rising up, then, with a sigh, remembering to fall — Powdered sugar resting softly upon the greatest cake, shaken off by birds and shivering hounds; everything painted with a thin coat of swan’s feathers; everything resting under great buckets of white sky that soon cannot contain their weight and let go the wind, releasing fragments of shredded paper to land on my nose and lips — The taste is the sharp chill of finding freedom in isolation, quickly dispersing in the warm cavern of my mouth; the damp billow of a silver-lined cloud. —<a href="https://waqueeranth.omeka.net/items/show/642" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Viv T (they/them)</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
