Tandem by Susan Isla Tepper

Scaling its perimeter

a woman swam the pond

ducking low hanging branches

quick as a water bird—

avoiding floating

Obstacles— such as 

you out of the aperture

golden-hued child of God 

naked and aloof 

following—

then in tandem

‘til the skies bled 

Both scurrying up the banks

to cover






Susan Isla Tepper is a twenty years published writer in all genres. Her current project is an Off-Broadway Play on the subject of art and life.
