suburban autumn
leaf blowing away
the
season

august drought
she asks about
daffodil
bulbs

in one hop
the grasshopper

children
swim
in
the streets

plugged
into
the earth . . .
daffodil

magic
hour
the clop of hooves
down the road
Stephen C. Curro
*
alpenglow
a
golden moon
in silken clouds
Stephen C. Curro

half asleep
the hiss of bacon
in the pan

summer
sunset
I catch my
breath
in the lake’s
reflection
Mona Bedi

deep
winter—
mom’s
lullaby sneaks
into
my dream
Mona Bedi
all i know is this
the cello has fallen still
and all is quiet:
the music of what is not
ah,
what strange music that is
Gabriel Rosenstock
*
alone with his thoughts
one thought flowering among weeds
quickly vanishes
a thought that may yet return
on
the day his hair turns grey
Gabriel Rosenstock
day of leaving
I put our moon
in
my backpack
Adrian Bouter
*
rock bottom
love is a river

the
autographed page torn out
Patrick Sweeney

again today
ignoring the lump
Patrick Sweeney
*
I
only like the idea of strawberries
Patrick Sweeney
*
in
a room alone rooting for the underdog
