Synkroniciti is excited to welcome back writer Rachael Ikins (2:1), this time with two expressive contrapuntal poems, On Watching a Wasp Drink During Drought, which muses on the sanctity and fragility of life, and Dream Truth, in which the narrator awakens from a nightmare. In a contrapuntal poem, parts of the poem are placed beside one another with space between them and can be read separately as columns or read straight across columns as a single poem.–
