smacking the window
a sparrow falls helpless…
the times I stumbled
not knowing if I
could pick myself up
Bonnie J Scherer, USA
too much
or nothing to talk about
we fall
for whichever reason
into the same silence
Ruth Holzer, USA
willow strands
budding in the sunshine —
an old farmer
hums a folk song
weeding his field
David He, China
in her room
tv on mute
she watches
the slow trickle
of her memories
Nick T, UK
anonymous
the silent cuckoo
delivers
an Easter present
victimless crime
Mark Gilbert, UK
first snow
falling softly
a hush
settles across the woods
our footsteps disappear
Jon Hare, USA
