my
inner hermit
in a solitude —
a leafless orchard
Manoj Sharma
the
day bleeds into nightfall war

*
wild flowers —
I share solitude
with
the mountains
Mariangela Canzi
An empty chair,
A hollowed pillow,
an unmade bed,
A singing clock,
An
absent name.

familiarity
borscht
simmering
with a sprig of dill

V. Alkerton
from the dawn light
of these woods
she flies
into the tamarind tree
to
feed her chick . . .
