Not a single
Cloud in the sky
The
day opens wide
Jennifer Gurney
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

Burch
bare feet
cooling in the backyard pond
goldfish
tickling
Stephen Jarrell Williams
the smell of June
in the colorful
flower garden
on the painter's canvas
they
are just poppies
