Evening of February 12, 2025

 

blue dolphin parade


padding the far corner

of her cartwheel

the squawk of a squid

~Robert P. Moyer/Kelly Sauvage Moyer




ninja skills


new heights

the screen door

full of holes

~Jean-Paul Moyer/Kelly Sauvage Moyer




crocus pocus


false spring

i mistake my mitten

for a daffodil


~Heidi McIver/Kelly Sauvage Moyer




Aubade


I rise from slumber

and I am

not happy about it.


~Noah Berlatsky




in our land

enough flowers to offer gods

which outnumber us


~Tejendra Sherchan




1 PM


Surrender

Control

Over

Time’s

Clutching

Hold.

~Thomas Skahill




uncleaved our souls under death’s hammer


~John Hawkhead




hearse story at the end his story

~John Hawkhead




compressed morbidity not much fun either


~Ruth Holzer




innocence flailing under stinging hail marys

~John Hawkhead




through a maze of back alleys the locked library


~Ruth Holzer




it's not so much

that I want to go there

but I want to be

the sort of person

who wants to


~Ruth Holzer




last stitch

mother

bites the thread


~Ruth Holzer




had I married

my heart's first choice

I'd be

widowed now

instead of divorced


~Ruth Holzer




interfaith dialogue

all the preachers

shouting at themselves


~Mike Fainzilber




we are all

on death row

nuances may differ


~Mike Fainzilber




running on water

the slow ones

tend to sink


~Mike Fainzilber




tis the season

trash-talking

the trash


~Mike Fainzilber




his trump card

the gulf between

fiction and reality


~Melissa Dennison
