a goat eats

the bark of a pine tree

cloud spotting my troubles shifting shape

sensory extension

the deaf cat sees, I listen

summer rain

termite tango

drifting wings

glisten at dusk

The sound of the harp

in the heart of a forest

invigorates me

relieving my mind with grace

providing peace to my soul

from the brush

a rabbit with a torn ear

evening chill

translucent windows

of an old house

the boy

the scent of something

that isn’t here

eggs fried

crisp around the edges …

learning to say no

Joseph P. Wechselberger

tasting the moon—

the way your eyes look

looking at me

Joseph P. Wechselberger

a phone number written

inside an old matchbook …

yard sale sport coat

Joseph P. Wechselberger

the smell of fresh-baked pie

a game of checkers

on the front porch

the earth is still in

eight billion little pieces

after the eclipse

J. D. Nelson

crows in the windy matrix the half day moon just is


J. D. Nelson

I tell the houseplants

that it’s a little hazy

second week of spring


J. D. Nelson

on the night bus disorienting window reflections

J. D. Nelson

orange spring sunset

a snack of four clementines

on the bus ride home

dabbing

on my charcoal drawing

something of you

in each contour

cold moon

one more silhouette

mingles into fog

leaves drop

each one goes down

with a dance

In the Pasture

I was in my mother's arms, the raindrops pounding on our black umbrella, just above my head. Her left arm around me, holding the umbrella as well. In her right hand she held a rope tied to the head of our cow.

on the rope

connecting us with the cow

rainbow raindrops
