Afternoon of July 30, 2023

 

rusty lock the smell of rain

~Hifsa Ashraf

counting on the power line crows

~Hifsa Ashraf

a refugee’s dreams sinking in the small boat

~Hifsa Ashraf

tainted rutabaga

his long suffering

coming to a bitter end

~Linda L. Ludwig

skating through blue grass derby queen

~Roberta Beach Jacobson

washing ashore some of the evidence

~Roberta Beach Jacobson

Fish-eyed moon staring straight at the sun sees everything

~Cynthia Damon

the ache behind my last

life as a rose

~Tiffany Shaw-Diaz

when every shade of night fades into us

~Tiffany Shaw-Diaz

cut grass

the drudgery

of sameness

~Tiffany Shaw-Diaz

dandelion fluff

sometimes i just

want to be
