By Eavonka Ettinger

open door

just a slant of light

as the sun sets

Eavonka Ettinger



the length

of kneading paws

my catnap

Eavonka Ettinger



eucalyptus shedding what's forgotten

Eavonka Ettinger



the muchness

of a rose garden

your lips

crashing thunder

doors bolted tight

against ill omens

Stephanie Zepherelli



empty flower box

a mom and pop store

boarded up

Stephanie Zepherelli



lonely path

looking for memories

i never had

windy day & night

I’m too tired to stay up

too anxious to sleep


J. D. Nelson



she gives me three words

to remember for the test

brush, sunshine, & chair


J. D. Nelson



forgotten coffee

no time to run back inside

before the bus comes

a rough day

I sit down

with yesterday


Sharon Ferrante



calm night

I rest on a string

from his guitar

Sharon Ferrante



I watch you

cut through smoke

changing

a small room

with a saxophone
