Another universe
Opens

“Dreamt a dream asleep
She went into the dark night
Gone forevermore” Gordon Lewis
nibbling the shoreline
watery teeth
always hungry
Chris Kastle
a tail wagging
from the branches
torn kite
Kavita Ratna
evening shower
lemon light gilds the garden
petrichor
JL Huffman
climbing
in front of me
a mountain rose
Ann Smith
cauliflower cloud untilled burrows of the victory garden
Ron Scully
camping lullaby the sound of jumping trout
Maya Daneva
twisting tree roots the sign says warning snakes inhabit this area
Louise Hopewell
crescent moon—
a sharp sound of sirens
pierces the dusk
Jonathan English
winter chill—
the bathroom scale
spins higher Joshua Gage

racing the tornado not winn
Susan Burch
thickening fog
a bell strikes ten from
an unknown tower
Xiaoou Chen
whitetail deer graze the neighborhood— suburban sprawl
Gary S. Rosin
shaded nest
the absence
of one egg
Simon De Courcey
watching ocean waves the fizz in my soda dying down
Anthony Lusardi
water rationing . . .
first pomegranate blossoms
brim at sacred well
Monica Kakkar
high-speed night train
I choose
a shorter dream
