first thing to do
buy
the
crickets
Barbara Anna Gaiardoni
Along aisles of tales,
she was raised by the women:
real
and fictional
Regina Florene Tan
intoxicating
giddy
fragrance
of mock orange
brings thoughts of springtime
to
my still cold heart
Pat Geyer
morning stars…
kicking
salt across
an icy path
Tony Williams
*
stiff with cold
the tarpaulins crackle
in their hands
Tony
Williams
*
Cassiopeia
the staggered flight
of night geese
Tony Williams
*
depth
of winter
needing both hands
to pull a leek
Tony
Williams
*
under
a leaden sky
winter reeds
the
colour of brass
Tony Williams
daybreak
cows head to the fields
jingle of
bells
Sreenath
*
i travel distant places
discovering
my
inner spaces
Sreenath
laid off ...
my drunken shadow stalking
what's
left of the night
Chen-ou Liu
*
prognosis ...
the weight of my friend's arm
around
my shoulders
Chen-ou Liu
