we’ve rolled together
bounced off each other a few times
but eventually settled
in this U-shaped valley
where the stream meanders to the sea

all this dusk burning my story
~Tiffany Elise
solstice or the inferno of same same
~Tiffany Elise
'Glacier is dead...'
Frightens the human stomach
The last message
From the river
For
farming.

security
that gorgeous jazz
my bank plays me
to placate me soothe me
calm me down
distract me convince me
everything’s going to be fine
If you would like to hear ambient birdsong instead of jazz music please press 1 now.

I
once saw bound bouquets
of blue roses at a market
as a
child
so many years ago
that now it feels like
it was
another person
puzzling over their indigo petals
~Simon Kaeppeli
now heavy reading
the paperback beach novel
drenched by the tide
~John J. Dunphy
Urban
design
Polished streets
Streamlined for efficient
traffic
Darkened windows fail to catch the eye
Nothing to
see here
A homeless man is ushered away
Lest he would make
people think
~Simon Kaeppeli
god’s waiting room
a crossword puzzle
with the easy ones
already filled in
by somebody else
in the queue
~Mark Gilbert
I list
my car for sale –
very same day
check engine light
comes on
~Jennifer Gurney
and maybe it was too hard
for you
to stop the ivy
from spreading
from choking off
the oak
~Tiffany Elise
don’t
ask —
i will end up
saying
yes to everything
