stand
of the tide-
two herons
high-stepping
through plastic
Lorraine A Padden, USA
a poem burns
in the fireplace
her last words rising
through a crooked chimney
into blue sky
Robert Witmer, Japan
blood
on the battlefield
the bones
of the world
have been broken
Mel Goldberg, Mexico
brutal winter
you left
my skin
chafed and
bleeding
Bonnie J Scherer, USA
in deep autumn
we meet, stoic as clams
by the ocean--
your face grown hard with time,
draws me back into shadows
Marion Alice Poirier, USA
