reading the moss
grown into
each letter
Connie Hutchison
nearest galaxy
the whorl
of my baby’s ear
Lisa Gerlits
hidden moon
our rendezvous
on hold
Richard Tice
deep water
to see the bottom
I close my eyes
Curtis Manley
retirement day—
a fallen maple leaf
escaping the eddy
Michael Dylan Welch
empty nest
fewer presents under
smaller trees
Gary Evans
sunblind
the scent
of shadows
Curtis Manley
a hole in my heart
where you should be
flat champagne
Sharon Young
a widow’s moon
one shutter slamming
in the wind
Billie Dee
