Light Depressed

I stored up in the
summer and a few good days
in fall, hoping I do not become
a dead satellite

Benjamin Nash

 

Inheritance

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

 

Eclipse

I float in feeling, instinct, reason,
then totality and the corona.

Linera Lucas

 

Franz Liszt in my Garden

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

 

The New Normal

that mindlessly hot swath of February, blinking
stunned at its raggedy-ass self

Christine Potter
