his abuses
heaped on every driver
on the road …
a lullaby
for our little son

Kala Ramesh - India

Dreaming deeply
with the cats
the way an accent
starts to thicken
closer to home

Barry George - USA

I don't know ...
all those memories

a gurgling
a hum,

of a spring uprising

Marjorie Bruhmuller - Canada

to pursue
what can I achieve
between now and the furnace

André Surridge - New Zealand

back after years
to the field
in my recurring dream
I find the rabid horse
struck by lightning

J. Brian Robertson - Canada
