airplane in flight

above the clouds

it's so easy

to cross borders

when you have papers

quicksand…

extending a hand

from across the seas


Mohua Maulik

amongst the folds

a cache

should I unpack

the emotions

or tighten the straps

fitful sea-breeze

snatches of sailors’ song

waft to my ears

a monarch kisses my brow

mistaking me for a flower

at the laundromat

I share my change

with a stranger

a wisp of ecru

hovers over the cradle . . .

the moon at midday

last leaf of the maple

cups the last star in the sky—

is this love

autumn solitude —

the moon at my window


Elena Zouain

silence of the forest —

the stag's bellow reaches the stars

meeting again the old pain disappears

Rita R. Melissano

welcoming

the precious beauty

of ordinary days

this morning begins

with pearls of dew

already too far

from the nightglow

a tidal wishing star

Joanna Ashwell

what we said

to the snow

an igloo’s hush

Joanna Ashwell

willow river

the bend within

a dreamer’s forest

Joanna Ashwell

pressing daisies

back into my memory

summer’s end

Joanna Ashwell

a morning chill

that old cardigan

wrapped around me again

ten sentences

as the narrative

rambles on . . .

all I wanted was

a simple yes or no

Scott Wiggerman

the failure

of espresso love

I no longer

remember

his name

Scott Wiggerman

sunflower

steeped too long

in loneliness

Scott Wiggerman

windchill

the bitter icicles

of absence

another possession

lost and found

yesterday

Robert Witmer

daylight fades . . .

a child's smile

lost in thought

Robert Witmer

waves darken

beneath the wind

the harmony of whales

Robert Witmer

angels arriving

on tiny parachutes

milkweed

the trees that scared us
