peasant faces
pebbles glimmering
under blossoms
an expense of cumulus clouds
the way of Pissarro's white

to look up
at a crescent moon so high
   she looks at a star
   near the horizon

limited palette
of raw and burnt umber
midwinter
the wind holds only
a few long notes

the pale blue of the bay
you settle
among strangers to disclose
your troubles in silences

Gavin Austin, Australia

one by one
the tomatoes
turn red—
writing the final chapter
of life

Fatma Zohra Habis, Algeria
