2018 carousel

[judih]

soft flowered silk
embrace before she goes
into her time-zone

[judih]

memory sprouts
all of the past year
swirls through the present

[saw]

life is a carousel
painted horses go up and down
I hang on

[Arcadia]

attention in percussion
old gods, costumes, eyes & hands
until the first drops

[judih]

fingers poise
wait for signal from brain
emptiness on page

[judih]

again morning rain
wheat and chamomile
bloom with life

[saw]

the kettle rumbles
fire and whistling
tell me it's morning

[judih]

intent on focus
eyes softly gaze downward
gentle withdrawal

[Terri]

the lull of oatmeal
there are blue and black berries
crap, i hoped for eggs

[saw]

email phone bills
everybody wants to be my baby
take another little piece of my heart

[judih]

night time wake-up
pause between dramas
free range me time

[sasha]

another dream
two guys at my old job
run with my dog

dark corridors
ancient grimy machines
diamond plate ramps

where have they gone?
my calls answered only
by grim silence

[judih]

many fine people
under a different roof
same last name

[sasha]

early march
muddy boots drying
by the door

[judih]

third day, third month
three a.m. pondering
no need for stress
