The Body

first crickets—

the pulse

in my wrist


Adele Kenny

————————————————

One part of my body

Pulses

Yet seems separated

Another part of my body

Throbs

Yet appears disenfranchised

A third part of my body

Desires relief

Yet is unable to move


And so it goes on

To so so many body parts

Where to function is not to function

But both my wrists, thankfully

Are in fine fettle

As are my hands and fingers

So

Long may the writing continue

Chaos

shorter kisses

longer quarrels—

winter solstice


Eric Amann

————————————————

Endless kisses

Just missing

Not able

Or unable

To quarrel


Endless misses

Just kissing

Not stable

Or unstable

In the quarrel

Justice

reflected

in the sword’s blade

soft summer clouds


Garry Gay

————————————————

Beyond the ones

Who need you most

Yet a preservative

For those who need you less


The scales

Are way out of balance

And have been

For as long as you can remember

The Feminine Principle

I brush

my mother’s hair

the sparks


Peggy Willis Lyles

————————————————

In the style of style

A style which embraces continuity

As though somewhere in the world

There is someone who can be relied upon

To maintain a pathway

To provide a certainty

To be the sure cell of support

Such as the you, such as the other I

Birth

birthcry!

the stars

are all in place


Raymond Roseliep

Daughter

My daughter

Your daughters

The children of the world

How we love you

How we found you

How we manage

To stay together

Or stay apart

To be there

For one another

To help each other

With a smile

With a gesture

With the love of life
