night heron
still
hunting
the day moon

who I was and long to be
adrift
clouds
with shadows
evan coram
*
through oak boughs
the porch light
on
and off
evan coram
morning mist
layered on the river ...
this
floating life
Chen-ou Liu
*
the departure door
closed between mother and me ...
fifteen years later
surging waves, one continent
and
English separate us
Chen-ou Liu
First lizard this year
on the mountain trail, tiny,
resolute.
Yay spring.

sunflowers stand tall
above the weeds in the ditch—
raindrops
on my arms
J. D. Nelson
the bittersweetness
of pomegranate seeds …
did
you ever love me?

full moon
the ebb and flow
of
our breaths

funeral planning
the very last time
I’ll
wear a tie
John Hawkhead
we should have
kept in
touch,
but the weight
of those seconds
accumulated,
ants
into elephants
