Christmas night
the flavor of
mistletoe
tea
Dmitry Peredonov
campfire
only the
moon
in the thermos
Nicky Gutierrez
burning
coals
the golden leaves
fall
on us
Nicky Gutierrez
monastery
grounds
the sandhill crane
makes her nest
Nicky Gutierrez
rabbit
on the moon
can my voice
reach
yours?

doctors speak
of failing systems
in this world
where will I
find
home
C. Jean Downer
same stories
everyday…
tonight, I mourn
all that is left
unsaid
C. Jean Downer
still
able to hold
January snow
this orange leaf
Maya
Daneva
white snake...
this voodoo witch
in
the museum
Maya Daneva
across the slow night
spread blankets of little fires,
stars
i couldn't reach
Laurie Donaldson
woodpecker flying
over the cement city
searching
for wood
