ocean’s deep floor—
brittle stars, scale worms on
a minke carcass
no longer calling or diving
but giving life
Susan Weaver, USA
letting
the frayed ends go
how can I not help wanting
to be danced
by the wind
Jenny Fraser, New Zealand
silence runs wild
down these empty halls . . .
a tundra swan
gently rotates the last egg
in her cup-shaped nest
Debbie Strange, Canada
new floor
cool beneath my bare feet
I stand still
feeling for the joins
I know are there
C.X. Turner, U.K
daydreamer
singing at the kitchen sink
plays with bubbles
a child washing dishes
marries the fork to a spoon
Ingrid Bruck, USA
drawing closer
to the twilight sky
a flock of geese
how does it feel to know
exactly where to go?
Bhawana Rathore, India
