Mother once sighed,
you've spoken English for too long
you might forget me ...
exiled for years, I can't recall
which
language I dream in
Chen-ou Liu
learning mother tongue
our kids chance upon
a
swear word

day after snow
a magpie braves
a

graduation day
six goslings get
their
first dip

mossy river runs
ancient coastal redwood dreams
you
alive again

mussel, clam and oyster shells
in a mound of earth

I cast

into
nothing

I stroke
his
bony spine

the moon
seemingly
alone

vernal equinox
a chill
in
the warmth

bare branches
the loneliness of
not
knowing
John Pappas
autumn chill
I seed my lawn
with
crows
John Pappas
after the storm—
the bright shards of the
broken
pot
John Pappas
dark matter
the secrets I keep
from myself
John Pappas
morning drizzle
raindrops waking
on
a gray roof
John Grey
calm peaceful village
smoke from beyond the hilltops
where
the fighting is
John Grey
railway station on a disused line
one old brown suitcase
unclaimed
these thirty years
John Grey
gray spring eve
leaving the park bench
for
the pigeons

winter wonderland—
painted horses mid-gallop
under
silent moonlight
Ron Nhim
Sunday picnic—
grandma knee deep in the lake,
chasing
minnows
Ron Nhim
summer stillness—
an old man taps his cane
for
amusement
Ron Nhim
an empty desk–
her pink coffee mug
still
in the same spot
Ron Nhim
at the burial—
teardrops and raindrops mingle
under
the spring sky
Ron Nhim
on
a pond
steps to the sun
water lilies

From interstellar lasers

blown away

a single yellow leaf
floats onto an old blue bench
as
it has for years

spring weather –
on the blanket of childhood
the
cat and her kittens

Listen to the silence
before the hush of chimes
answers
the summer breeze

barefoot path
into the heart of the woods
shelter
of trees

The Little Bighorn
a gentle slope of sagebrush
sand gravestones silence
more then than now still weighted
with
passing toward forgotten
Don Brandis
an old wagon
heavy with hay
remembering
the rain
Robert Witmer
sunrise
bursts into the room
the
brass buddha winks
Robert Witmer
sundown
in a barren field
the
scarecrow nods
Robert Witmer
shadows
under the stairs
milk
for a one-eyed cat
Robert Witmer
a grand piano
hanging from a window
our
last goodbye
Robert Witmer
cracked teapot
filling cups with
fond
memories
Stephanie Zepherelli
between us
a flickering candle . . .
shared
secrets
Stephanie Zepherelli
quiet pond
dipping a toe
in
shimmering moons
Stephanie Zepherelli
enjoying nothing
in particular
and
everything
