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
I love the imagery of the muskrat, so beautiful.
