calm
on the river
a kayaker talks to his dog

rushing
through our mountain cabin
its echo

pine needle trail
draws me back

hidden childhood hollows

sunflowers and sagebrush
call pioneers
back

the trail
image and words Michael Shoemaker
redwood forest
the persistent knock
of
a woodpecker
Eavonka Ettinger
on the tip
of my tongue...
raindrops

a whirlwind
of dandelions
twisted
wishes

soon I will hardly
remember you at all
a soap bubble
floating in the breeze
waiting
to be popped
Lafcadio
jolted awake—
sunbeams infused
with
wrensong
Lafcadio
bustling stillness
— how is
your
vacation?

pouring night
possum darts sheltered
beneath
eaves

joy of
missing out those who know know
Peter Jastermsky
eyes
drifting in a sound that won’t carry
Peter Jastermsky
sorting the past
a
sock drawer
of tiny feet
Peter Jastermsky
rewriting
the terms of past tense

early april
soft voice
of
a cherry blossom

spring night
an open-winged silhouette
floating
into obscurity
Gareth Nurden
dawn
a hazy wildflower field
springs
to life
