Unravel the day
in solferino rivers
that flow to
Eden’s cor.
Unzip my skin,
unwrap lacustrine heart
beside the Horseshoe,
my world’s waters,
and let me simply drink
of Adam’s ale.

I held you captive in my sight
while evil fingers burrowed deep, and
I heard you crying in the night.
While you focused on the light
and pumpkin-apple deer stood watch
I held you captive in my sight.
You pulled strings, made magic sleight
with finger-writing in the air, . . . → Read More: To My Mother: A Villanelle

I hover over her
squint at tilted back and crooked neck.
Are you comfortable?
She looks up at me.
Are you?
No.
I tug and pull and fluff.
How is that–
are you comfortable now?
She looks up at me.
Are you?

Nothing left but yellow leaves
they fall in earnest now
like tears
and tumble in the wind.
Stripped limps stretch
and reach through gray
to touch the sun and wait.
Hearts ache and break
for moments lost to hardened hearts

Gray billows of cashmere
spun by sacred hands
whipped cream

SUNRISE
by Megan Willome
It’s disgraceful
All this color
Splattered
Pink flung
Purple creeping
Then orange
Why orange?
The clouds grey as the sun puts on bright clothes
Who wastes color like this?
Flinging beauty willy-nilly
As if everyone would see this sunrise

How did I end up here
wrapped in a circle of poets
(I don’t even call myself a poet)
where we showed up
to taste peaches and wild grapes,
to crush the flesh of nectarine
and sing fig songs?
How did I end up here

There is change in the breaking
when flakes of feeling surface,
exposed, blister and bleed on paper,
transformed into a poetic patina of words

Glimpse the grin, green metal mug
at masks the pseudo-saintly bug . . .
And faintly whisper, Lord deliver us.

Do you see it?
How He tosses His palette on the morning?
How he swipes His rainbow hand across new canvas?
How He outlines fine and brushes bold?
How He mists fresh and rains grace on parched hearts?
How He hides surprises within each painting?
