\u201cLast Universal Offspring (Uncommon)\u201d by Ella Flores<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Hungover seagulls stumble dawn in. Who told you
you came from water? The morning people<\/p>\n\n\n\n

attempt to slow it down, their scattered outlines:
cut-outs against cloud-haze. Who told you to listen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for the coos the hermit crabs collect
in their conch shells? A forgiving gesture to all
prodigal children, an apology for having<\/p>\n\n\n\n

thrown them out, a primordial lullaby they refuse
to believe is their own recursive echoes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to lead them back to every ocean, from here
to Enceladus\u2014Hush, motions the wetness,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

tranquila, levantando los pezones de sus olas
to our lips, singing a hum we heard before lungs,
blanketing our skin, tucking hush with every surge,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with each arm wrapping around. Who forgot to tell us
the edges of the world are soft.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":25234,"featured_media":420,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wpo365_audiences":[],"wpo365_private":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1855","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1855"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25234"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1855"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1855\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37052,"href":"https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1855\/revisions\/37052"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test-inside.ewu.edu\/willowspringsmagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
