one road
upon another—
shoulders
to stand on
David Ngo
treasure the moment
if only I could message
yesterday's
self
David Ngo
life's journey seeks
to
fill the blanks

we wait
for

cricket season
this night
a
song

as
the fog lifts . . .
daffodils and dandelions
jump out

placid

one kayak
and a string of ducklings

the raindrops loud
on his hat
Mike Gallagher
the
fragrance
of a moonflower trumpets
a wren's night song

rolling
downhill
the peaty breath
of the mountain

what
quiet
magpies

nothing's changed

Longing
the
longing
to hug my little daughter—
waiting for next
visitation day
my
longing
to belong to an another world—
a sparrow's nest
a
bird on my windowsill—
my longing
to fly in the vast blue
sky

Swallows
blind date
new bird
on the wire
two birds flit
from tree to tree;
home shopping
getting takeout
while his wife watches the kids
he
gathers worms
Mark Hendrickson
sun kisses earth goodnight
an explosion of crimson
drenches the sky
children buried in rubble
cry
for food and for peace
Belinda Behne
far away
almost beyond memory
my
father's voice
Belinda Behne
out of the ashes
wild violets
bloom

losing the path
deep in the forest
I find myself
deep in the forest
losing myself
I find the path
losing the path
I find myself
deep
in the forest
