Elizabeth and Proctor
Caitlin Cooey

Tell me who you are
with this French girl,
who have you become now?
the silence of our voices
permits a pause.
do i still love you, it says.
it sits silently on both our lips.
I just fell,
and you forgot to catch me. 

 How You Can Be Published:

There are several ways. You can also send in poetry or short prose of your own to be considered for IN OUR OWN WORDS, our ezine. We also recommend looking at the Classifieds in Poets and Writers Magazine, visiting our Calls for Submission Page, or entering one of the contests like our "People Before Profits Poetry Prize". Only entires that include a SASE (self addressed stamped envelope) will be returned, so be sure to include this with your work. See our editorial philosphy. All writing published in IN OUR OWN WORDS remains the property of the author.
