night sky...

I tell my stories

to passing clouds

tea gargled

down in this whirring car

unceremonious

The Little Bighorn

a gentle slope of sagebrush

sand   gravestones    silence

more then than now still weighted

with passing toward forgotten

deserted bedroom

her nightdress carries

a faint scent still

an old wagon

heavy with hay

remembering the rain

sunrise

bursts into the room

the brass buddha winks

Robert Witmer

sundown

in a barren field

the scarecrow nods

Robert Witmer

shadows

under the stairs

milk for a one-eyed cat

Robert Witmer

a grand piano

hanging from a window

our last goodbye

Robert Witmer

By Stephanie Zepherelli

cracked teapot

filling cups with

fond memories

Stephanie Zepherelli

between us

a flickering candle . . .

shared secrets

Stephanie Zepherelli

quiet pond

dipping a toe

in shimmering moons

Stephanie Zepherelli

enjoying nothing

in particular

and everything

Stephanie Zepherelli

By Daniela Misso

an open book

left on a tree stump . . .

ants pass by

Daniela Misso

silence between us –

the stones cast shadows

on the sand

Daniela Misso

grass sprouts

I immerse myself

in a book

harvest moon

not enough to feed

sunshine

all around me

the silence of houseplants

By Oscar Luparia

oneness

your inner spring

makes my soul bloom

Oscar Luparia

solitary pine . . .

the place where I'll stop

when I am gone
