Ramadan moon
wave upon wave of prayers
in
a tent city

patients glued to their phones
a modern

fire
season poppies jump the break line
Bryan Rickert
war
death toll climbing roses
*
an eye
for an eye
in war
nothing but
darkness
white chrysanthemum
carried by the dove
the
sad ink
Francoise Maurice
*
black saturday
the massacre of innocents
on
the front page

lead should surround stain glass not children
Marjorie Pezzoli
election debate
the cat drags a dead mouse
out
of the bush

falling asleep
to the sound of snores
night
watchman’s dog
