starlit night—

I tell my children

the stories grandma told me

night heron

still hunting

the day moon

Mark Gilbert

a bee, hovering

dangling her legs

in the buzz

By evan coram

who I was and long to be

adrift

clouds with shadows

evan coram

through oak boughs

the porch light

on and off

evan coram

not sure if I want to be reborn mayflies

Chen-ou Liu

morning mist

layered on the river ...

this floating life

Chen-ou Liu

*

the departure door

closed between mother and me ...

fifteen years later

surging waves, one continent

and English separate us

First lizard this year

on the mountain trail, tiny,

resolute. Yay spring.
