old pond
the deep depression
of
a toad
Keith Evetts
summer breeze
the girl on a towel with a book
waves
a foot
Keith Evetts
when blue
is nowhere near enough
kingfisher
Keith Evetts
evening downpour
the backstreet gutter clogged
with
torn betting slips
Keith Evetts
getting older
prone to drop things
like
birthdays
Keith Evetts
above the sawmill
the rasp of mute swans
heading
west
Keith Evetts
too
much noise for a summer rain
Mircea Moldovan
the
reasonable story of a wanderer's stone bridges
Mircea Moldovan
a drink
and another round
countryside

Mother once sighed,
you've spoken English for too long
you might forget me ...
exiled for years, I can't recall
which
language I dream in
Chen-ou Liu
learning mother tongue
our kids chance upon
a
swear word
Biswajit Mishra
day after snow
a magpie braves
a
fence-walk
Biswajit Mishra
graduation day
six goslings get
their
first dip
Biswajit Mishra
mossy river runs
ancient coastal redwood dreams
you
alive again
Karen Pierce Gonzalez
windswept
Karen Pierce Gonzalez
roots
Karen Pierce Gonzalez
bury me under
mussel, clam and oyster shells
in a mound of earth

bienvenidos–
dine with us in a city
of gastronomy

this tree
a war
underground

Carvalho
dead
thoughts my dog’s water bowl
Cameron Carvalho
I cast
thought
into
nothing
Cameron Carvalho
an old cat
I stroke
his
bony spine
John Stevenson
the moon
seemingly
alone
John Stevenson
vernal equinox
a chill
in
the warmth
John Stevenson
bare branches
the loneliness of
not
knowing
John Pappas
autumn chill
I seed my lawn
with
crows
John Pappas
after the storm—
the bright shards of the
broken
pot
John Pappas
dark matter
the secrets I keep
from myself
