New Year's Day
I wake up facing
my TV
~John J. Dunphy
evening walk
letting go
of the prognosis
~Padma Rajeswari Tata
A hospital like nightqueen
Gets injured milky air by busy drilling.
No green janitor at the playground.
Pants Room No. 3 of the lungs.
Yet is fearless the lamb.
Yonder a hospital like nightqueen
With a nominal green ticket.

Thank You
A
meaningless
after-mumble,
word chunks
crumble like
feta pieces
falling out
of your mouth.

ANOTHER
YEAR
Another year of hesitant steps
taken down
winding paths to
hazy landscapes, shadowy vistas
colored
in grays and darkened mists,
brushed by breezes of
indecision,
forced broken strides forward
into an uncertain
future.

December 31
suddenly my
lap cat's purring
spans two years
~John J. Dunphy
half
moon
the cat catching the mouse
I poisoned
~Joshua St. Claire
my cat
heavy on my feet
grounding me
~Jennifer Gurney
