flock after flock
of moonlit snow geese ...
again, this urge
to leave this promised land
to find another

Chen-ou Liu, Canada

day hike
at the local cove
rocks glistening
the outgoing tide
tugs us to the west

Lee Hudspeth, USA

no longer thirsty
for the same River
that craving
to leave lured by the scent
of orange blossoms

Kathabela Wilson, USA

unbridgeable
the growing wildness
of the river
widening between us
this search for the sea

Gavin Austin, Australia

the streetlight
casts a lonely pool
the way absence
shapes
the world around

Nitu Yumnam, UAE

the silver lines
a muskrat draws
on water
in the summer dusk—
poems in a foreign tongue

Jenny Ward Angyal, USA
