distracted
by
the sunlight dancing
off my phone
Anne Morrigan
waiting
for
the storm to pass . . .
counting seconds
between the
flash
and the boom

before the alarm—patterns
in the ceiling

Sunday in the park—
a sermon
of barks

breaking news
from Tokyo
cherry

old headstones
the preacher
leans

grey morning
along an eagle’s flight
the
passing sky
Ishan Anagh
a bookmark…
carried from book to book
endings
Ishan Anagh
late afternoon –
my father’s voice
growing
old in the wind
Ishan Anagh
first buds
heed its call
spring
moon

cherry blossoms–
this ephemeral life
whispers
in the dark
Melissa Laussmann
twilight breeze–
the scent of jasmine
lingers
on her robe
