Poems containing the words build, ground, hungry, and light.
I stored up in the
summer and a few good days
in fall, hoping I do not become
a dead satellite
Benjamin Nash
And she opens, opens doors, drapes, blinds and windows,
old glass lights in carillon colors,
and still he cries his fear of dying.
Sean Lause
I float in feeling, instinct, reason,
then totality and the corona.
Linera Lucas
think of Franz Liszt bent over
his keyboard, like a sapling
after a strong gust
Bob Bradshaw
Song from Savoy (Annecy, October 1956)
Blind singer strums the strings
Calls his committed themes
Calm but as strong as a hawk
Peter Bridges
that mindlessly hot swath of February, blinking
stunned at its raggedy-ass self
Christine Potter
