Ocean
essay vignette
Eric Silverman
Rather than surmise infinitude, Walt Whitman said, better to see the world’s charm, up close, a distance from an oceanic source.
Broken Mirror
poetry
Jen Lighty
This is a poem trying to reach
the source of a river
and about spending your whole life
in the eye of a hurricane.
How to Commit to Life
poetry
Jen Lighty
You head toward the mud. It’s a
habit.
You’re not a great blue-heron,
you just
like the way it feels between your
toes
and the challenge of staying upright.
Fool on the Hill
contemporary fable
Bill Rick
A Fool sits up on top of a Hill
overlooking a learner educational facility.
A fool is known by a fool's dress
-- bright colors, ragged pants.
A fool is known by a fool's demeanor
-- always smiling, childlike.
And a fool is known by a fool's
lack of actions, always sitting, talking with all of the earth's beasts.
Physical proof concludes that there is a fool on the hill.
Winter Paints
poetry
Elizabeth Thomas
in shades of gray
yet it's a warm day in January.
Like children we grab the dog,
run outside to hug the air,
blow kisses from behind trees,
tramp through soggy leaves in the
back woods.
Hope of negative space
poetry
Dina Pearlman
Titles of tree trunks let silence seep in
Staccato calligraphy of southbound birds resting on the back road wire
7th Chakra, At the Spa, and Shambhala
Wave
