Setting Free
Hifsa Ashraf (Pakistan)
Christine L. Villa (USA)
peruvian lily
no longer tracing
my name on his chest
unscented night
all those scars
getting deeper
into the moonlight
my heartache
I take for granted
lavender tea
after the last sip
I whisper goodbye
----
Spring Rendezvous
Christine L. Villa (USA)
Hifsa Ashraf (Pakistan)
flower moon
his first touch
after so many years
spring drizzle
releasing the butterfly
soft kisses
two bodies breathing
in tandem
in her obi
sea waves
from her back curve
symphony of love
-----
Prelude
Hifsa Ashraf (Pakistan)
Christine L. Villa (USA)
late summer sky
the way you kiss
the mole on my shoulder
lilac afterglow
a part of me
serenades
through the balcony
blossom wind
still blue
day moon
how long will it be
this time

It's a collection of split sequences of Chrissi L. Villa with 46 poets.
“It’s almost as if this new genre called the ‘split sequence’ reveals the white and negative spaces hiding between and behind each line of any haiku you have ever read. If you want to see for yourself how a small poem is but a gateway for worlds you could inhabit, dive into this book and don’t worry about ever resurfacing.”
—Alan Summers, founder of Call of the Page
“The first of its kind, How the Wind Moves features a diverse collection of split sequences by Christine L. Villa, co-authored with a well-rounded cast of writers from the haiku community. Interspersed throughout is gorgeous multi-layered collage work, created by Villa herself, which is a parallel medium that ties in with the sequences. One need not be familiar with the split sequence form or even haiku to appreciate this book. All lovers of poetry and art will enjoy this landmark collection that flows like the wind between universal subjects such as nature, love, loss, illness, healing, hope, and faith.”
